Key Resolve and Foal Eagle 16 Will Only Precipitate U.S. Final Ruin: KCNA Commentary

  Pyongyang, March 10 (KCNA) -- The world's attention is riveted on the situation on the Korean Peninsula.
    The U.S. and south Korean puppet forces are now confirming the possibility of carrying out OPLAN 5015 under the simulated conditions of an actual war through the largest-ever Key Resolve and Foal Eagle 16 joint military exercises. OPLAN 5015 includes the "beheading operation" targeting the supreme headquarters of the Korean revolution and an operation to mount a preemptive attack on nuclear striking means of the DPRK.
    The madcap nuclear war rehearsals kicked off by them after casting away even the spurious mask of "annual" and "defensive" are little short of saber-rattling of those who know nothing of the army and people of the DPRK.
    They go so reckless as to stun the world public.
    The U.S. seems to be utterly ignorant of the service personnel and people of the DPRK who, led by the great Songun brilliant commander, are possessed of such matchless grit and disposition that if an enemy wields a dagger, they beat it with a sword and if it comes out with a rifle, they retaliate against it with an artillery piece.
    The revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK whose mission is to defend the dignity of the supreme leadership and the socialist system, their lifeline, have never allowed anyone to hurt it and destroy the system.
    It is tragedy that the U.S. does not understand it even today though the confrontation between the DPRK and the U.S. has lasted for several decades.
    The Korean War in the 1950s was the beginning of a downhill turn for the U.S. and a war in this century will lead it to its final ruin.
    Gone are the days never to return when the U.S. could fight the Korean War without allowing any single bomb or shell to drop on its mainland.
    Today the DPRK does not feel any need to hide its military capability any longer. It opened to public the fact that it has in place unprecedented ultra-modern powerful strike means capable of striking the U.S. any time and from any place.
    The U.S. and south Korean puppet forces would be well advised to be well aware that the DPRK's army turned its mode of military counteraction against the enemy into that of preemptive attack in order to cope with the largest-ever joint military exercises being staged by the U.S. and south Korean puppet forces.
    The DPRK's army will reduce all bases and strongholds of the U.S. and south Korean warmongers for provocation and aggression into ashes in a moment, without giving them any breathing spell.
    Not only all the U.S. special operation troops and nuclear war means in south Korea but also the U.S. mainland are within the firing range of the ultra-modern strike means of the Korean People's Army which does not know any mercy and leniency.
    It is a day-dream and way of precipitating its final ruin for the U.S. to try to stifle the DPRK which has proudly joined the advanced ranks of the nuclear weapons states.
    Saber-rattling for a nuclear war will only precipitate the final ruin of the U.S. and south Korean puppet forces. -0
