KCNA Commentary Discloses Aggressive Nature of U.S.-S. Korea Joint Military Drills

Pyongyang, July 29 (KCNA) -- The British magazine The Week on July 25 said that U.S. special units are involved in the U.S.-south Korea joint military drills such as the annual Foal Eagle to get ready to intrude into the DPRK.
    It is hard to describe the joint military exercises as "defensive" under the situation where the U.S. and south Korea are staging drills for infiltrating commandoes into the DPRK, the magazine noted.
    This brought to light once again the fact that the U.S. and south Korea's claim that those joint military exercises are of "defensive nature" is no more than a fig-leaf to cover up their aggressive nature.
    The DPRK is by no means frightened by these joint maneuvers. But they can never be overlooked in the light of their targets and programs.
    The U.S. hurled precision strike weapons, special units, etc. into various military drills such as Key Resolve and Foal Eagle annual events.
    The "emergency plan for attacking the north", OPLAN 5029 and other war scenarios worked out by the U.S. are aimed to bring down the political system in the DPRK after kicking off a riot by infiltrating special units.
    The U.S. which succeeded in bringing down social systems in other countries through wars by use of special forces is pinning hope on such method for igniting the second Korean war.
    Prompted by the above-said scenarios, the U.S. is hurling special units into ceaseless military drills under various codenames on the Korean peninsula and in its vicinity.
    This year the U.S. staged the largest-ever Max Thunder combined air drills aimed at an all-out air strike at the DPRK in the wake of the Ssangryong large-scale joint landing drills at a time when the Foal Eagle joint military exercise reached its height.
    The U.S. and the south Korean puppet army let more than 100 various type fighters and planes including F-15s, F- 16s, FA-18s, C-130s and AWACS E-737s and more than 1 400 troops stage drills for air battle, "striking the bases of provocation", air refueling operations and dropping supplies for special forces under simulated conditions of their infiltration into the depth of the DPRK.
    As seen above, the U.S. has openly staged provocative war drills aimed at bringing down the social system in the DPRK with huge troops for aggression and even special forces involved.
    However, it is describing them as "defensive" and "annual" ones. This is nothing but a deceptive artifice to cover up the aggressive nature, essence and danger of the war drills targeting the DPRK and a mockery of the Korean people and other peoples aspiring after peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and the rest of the world.
    While staging war drills aimed at invading the DPRK and bringing down its social system, the U.S. and the south Korean puppet forces are terming the DPRK's regular drills for self-defence "provocations". This is just like a guilty party filing the suit first.
    The situation clearly proves that the U.S. and the south Korean puppet forces are the very provocateurs and arch criminals harassing peace and escalating the danger of a war on the peninsula.
    A grave situation is now prevailing on the peninsula due to the evermore undisguised war provocations of the hostile forces.
    Self-restraint and concession before an enemy brandishing a dagger precisely means self-ruin.
    The more openly the U.S. reveals its wild ambition to stifle the DPRK by force of arms, the stronger measures the latter will take to foil it. -0-
