North-targeted war game replacing the former

North-targeted war game replacing the former

The south Korean military announced that the drill Alliance is the one replacing the annual Key Resolve and Foal Eagle and it will continue from March 4 to March 12.

The Alliance is the exercise for invading north Korea in terms of its contents and goal.  

The south Korean and US military said that the ongoing drill aims at examining wartime operation plan through computer-aided simulation of "the north's all-out invasion of the south" and increasing the capabilities to fight a war.

They advertise that the codename of the military exercise was changed and the scale and duration have been reduced. However, its nature of aggression and confrontation remain unchanged.  

The ill-boding moves of the south Korean military authorities and the U.S. are a wanton violation of the DPRK-U.S. joint statement and the north-south declarations and an open challenge to the aspiration and desire of all Koreans and the international community for peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.

It is the unanimous desire of the times and international community that the war game, which drives the situation of the Korean Peninsula to the brink of the danger of war and hinders establishment of trust and improvement of relations between the DPRK-US and north-south, should be stopped totally.
