KCNA Commentary Slams U.S.-Japan Joint Military Drills

Pyongyang, November 27 (KCNA) -- The U.S. staged large-scale naval joint military exercises with Japan with lots of ultra-modern warships including nuclear carrier Ronald Reagan involved.
    The U.S. forces command in the Pacific described them as annual exercises for peace and stability but it is a trite trick to cover up their aggressive nature.
    The U.S. does not want peace and stability in Asia including the Korean Peninsula nor allow them.
    It is because the U.S. strategy for world domination requires constant danger of a war and persistent instability in the region.
    It is the calculation of the U.S. that only when the situation remains unstable in the region, is it possible to justify the presence of its huge aggression troops and military bases in different parts of the region and step up the formation of a military siege to the potential rivals under the pretext of "defending peace".
    That's why the U.S. keeps staging military exercises under various codenames on the Korean Peninsula and in its vicinity despite the worldwide rebuff and criticism.
    When the north and the south were holding the reunion of separated families and relatives recently, the U.S. staged frantic anti-DPRK war exercises together with the south Korean military warmongers with nuclear carrier Ronald Reagan involved, chilling the atmosphere of the reunion and escalating the tension.
    The recent joint military drills of the U.S. and Japan are premeditated saber-rattling to keep the situation in the region including the peninsula tense in a bid to secure a justification for political and military intervention and provide an opportunity of invasion.
    An official of the U.S. Defence Department shortly ago blustered that "north Korea was the biggest threat to the U.S.-Japan security alliance." The U.S. forces command in the Pacific claimed that the recent exercises were aimed to jointly cope with the emergencies in the region. This proves that the drills were targeted against the DPRK and its neighbors.
    The U.S. is the arch criminal wantonly violating peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and in the region.
    The U.S. is seriously mistaken if it thinks it can decide the fate of the peninsula and the region through high-handed moves for igniting a war.
    The U.S. brigandish acts of harassing peace are bound to be countered by strong measure for self-defence.
    The DPRK will continue to take just measures for self-defence for safeguarding the sovereignty of the country and the peace and stability of the region from the U.S. war moves. -0-
