The military provocations being committed in a frantic way in the ROK from the first month of the new year serve as an occasion for highlighting once again what enemy the DPRK is facing and how dearly it may pay for a moment's carelessness.
On January 3, when all countries of the world were still in the festive mood of the New Year, the puppet navy of the ROK simultaneously staged war drills with destroyers, escort ships and other warships and military planes involved in all waters of the east, west and south seas.
Then, infantry, artillery and engineer units simultaneously staged various kinds of war drills and the armoured brigades joined them to rattle the whole land of the ROK.
Amid the joint large-scale firing drills of the US and the ROK to neutralize the long-range artillery force of the DPRK, the US-Japan-ROK joint air drill was conducted in the sky over the Korean peninsula with the US strategic bomber B-1B involved on January 15 and, on the same day, the US and ROK air forces staged an air live-shell firing drill.
Then, the US and ROK air forces staged the first Ssangmae joint air drill for several days this year, and a joint special war drill aimed at a sudden attack on the DPRK was conducted.
The US air force in the ROK ended the month of January with the training for preemptive attack on the DPRK by making sorties of fighters despite heavy snowfall.
The war games targeting the DPRK were staged almost every day till the last day of the first month of the new year. This predicts that the US and the ROK would conduct unprecedentedly active military manoeuvres against the DPRK this year, too.
What should not be overlooked is that such war games are being staged in the lawless land where the political situation is confused and everything is in a mess due to such fierce scramble for power as a cockfight at coop.
Everyone will guess easily how the DPRK will accept the fact that the confab of the "nuclear consultative group" of the US and the ROK puppets is still being held to stifle the DPRK with nukes and the war drills against it were staged more intensively than ever before though diplomatic schedules were cancelled one after another due to the political chaos in the ROK.
The US and the ROK’s irresponsible acts of escalating the regional tension that started from the outset of the year are still going on.
Hostile and adventurous acts will only entail undesirable consequences.
