The U.S.-led NATO will stage a simulated nuclear bomb dropping drill called "Steadfast Noon" on October 16-26.

In this regard, the secretary general of the NATO said the Ukrainian war reminds that NATO's nuclear weapons play an important role in deterring aggression, asserting that the drill will promote the reliability, efficiency and security of the NATO nuclear deterrence and send a clear message that NATO would protect and defend its allies.

The "Steadfast Noon" drill, which had been staged under tightest secrecy with the aim of making the pilots of NATO member states get familiar with the use of U.S. tactical nuclear bombs according to the "NATO nuclear-sharing policy" adopted in 1966, has developed very dangerously, revealing its offensive nature since last year.

Various kinds of airplanes, including the 4th and 5th generation fighters, reconnaissance planes and tanker planes, and even U.S. nuclear strategic bombers B-52 are involved in the drill to master the dropping of B61 tactical nuclear bombs deployed in Europe. This drill is evidently actual nuclear war maneuvers.

Moreover, B61 tactical nuclear bomb is 20 times stronger in killing and destructive power than the nuclear bombs that reduced Hiroshima and Nagasaki to a heap of ashes in a moment and killed hundreds of thousands of people. To throw such bomb on mankind is a dangerous nuclear gambling that can be done only by nuclear maniacs.

What is more serious is the fact that all those deeds are being done under the active participation and support of the U.S., the only nuclear war criminal state in the world.

No one can deny that the U.S. is persisting in nuclear threat and blackmail against the anti-imperialist independent countries while unhesitatingly transferring nuclear technology to its followers kowtowing to it.

It is none other than the U.S. which is spreading nuclear technology through the formation of AUKUS, a nuclear confrontation alliance, and systematically violating and destroying the international nuclear disarmament treaties.

The U.S. nuclear racket going far beyond the danger line has been intensively revealed in the Korean peninsula.

The U.S. has frequently staged large-scale separate and combined drills making a preemptive nuclear strike at the DPRK and its neighboring countries a fait accompli, while deploying all kinds of nuclear strike means in the Korean peninsula, the biggest hotspot in the world, on a permanent basis.

It was only some days ago that the U.S. strategic nuclear submarine with dozens of nuclear warheads showed itself in the waters of the region of south Korean puppets and that the U.S. nuclear carrier Ronald Reagan appeared at Pusan Port in the puppet region.

Owing to the U.S dangerous nuclear provocations not only in Northeast Asia, including the Korean peninsula, but also in other parts of the world, this planet is now getting closer to a thermonuclear zone, not a nuclear-free zone, and to war and confrontation, not peace and stability.

It is by no means fortuitous that the international community is raising the voice of uneasiness and concern that the cloud of a thermonuclear war from Washington makes Armageddon potential.

The reality goes to prove once again that the dark clouds of a dreadful thermonuclear war can never be wiped out as long as the U.S., a heinous nuclear war killer which regards nukes as the key for its hegemonic foreign policy, exists.

The whole international community strongly aspiring to justice and truth should squarely see through the aggressive nature of the U.S. and NATO forces' reckless thermonuclear war moves and resolutely foil them step by step with the concerted efforts.
