Minju Joson Thursday observes in a commentary in this regard:

It is nothing but a cheap trick of the U.S. to delay its maneuvers, annual events, to evade from the responsibility for deliberately coiling up the situation, not interested in the detente on the Korean Peninsula.

The U.S. reluctantly delayed the maneuvers for fear that the saber-rattling to be kicked off as before would trigger off stronger anti-U.S. sentiments and bitterer international criticism.

The U.S. remains unchanged in its wild ambition to stifle the DPRK by force of arms.

As recognized at home and abroad, the Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military maneuvers are dangerous nuclear war rehearsal to invade the DPRK from A to Z.

What is more serious is that the maneuvers which escalated till the last year are aimed at completely exterminating the Korean nation, going beyond the limits, in their nature, goal, scale and programs.

The reckless U.S.-led joint military drills with south Korea to be conducted in south Korea anytime serve as a prelude to the aggressive war bringing a nuclear disaster to the Korean Peninsula.

Therefore, the dangerous war racket such as Key Resolve and Foal Eagle, the factor of the tension, should not be delayed but completely stopped.
