A commentary of Rodong Sinmun Tuesday brands this as an open threat to mount a military attack if the DPRK does not respond to the denuclearization negotiations.

It is foolhardy for the U.S. to try to threaten the DPRK with such nonsense and it is nothing but a reckless act ignorant of the faith, will and pluck of Juche Korea, the commentary says, and goes on:

The DPRK is a self-defensive nuclear power no one can dare provoke, and we are not afraid of sanctions and pressure as we are exploring our future under the banner of self-reliance and self-development.

We are ready for both dialogue and war.

If the U.S. attacks the DPRK, it will not be safe in face of a stern punishment by the Korean army and people.

Recently the trump group is advising the Americans to leave last messages if they want to travel Korea. They had better pay heed to our warning, not making such nonsensical rubbish.

If the U.S. dare provokes a war, there will never be a man left who would keep last messages and bury the coffins. This is our answer.

The U.S. has to stop going ill-mannered, clearly understanding who its rival is.
