The Korean Central News Agency released a commentary under the title "US 'Doctrine of Strength-Almighty' Doesn't Work in Security Domain of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea".

The commentary said:

Timed to coincide with the climax of the US-ROK large-scale joint military exercises "Freedom Shield 2025", the US-Japan-ROK naval drill directly aimed at the DPRK was simultaneously staged in the waters off Jeju Island from March 17 to 20.

The enemy states did not take the trouble to conceal the fact that the drill was aimed to check the DPRK's nuclear and missile capabilities and its sea defence capability in particular and deprive it of its maritime sovereignty. Moreover, they openly revealed their sinister intention to block even the normal maritime transport of sovereign states in the region by force.

Historically, the US-led multinational military drills have served as the source of seriously violating the regional and global security. This being a hard reality, this year's first US-Japan-ROK naval drill, which is the first tripartite joint military exercise after the emergence of the Trump administration, was staged in parallel with the ongoing US-ROK large-scale joint military exercises. Such fact is further escalating the danger of the joint military drills.

The reality goes to prove that the adventurous hysterics of the United States and other hostile forces to restrain the DPRK and other independent countries in the region and dominate the whole Asia-Pacific region is going completely beyond the precedent.

As reported, the United States and the Republic of Korea had desperately staged "Freedom Shield", a large-scale war rehearsal, near the southern border of the DPRK from March 10, renewing the worst record in history. The hidden intention of the United States, which simultaneously staged bilateral and multilateral war exercises for aggression in collusion with its satellites at a time when the regional situation was at its worst, can never be construed only as a simple following or repetition of the anti-DPRK policy pursued by the successive US administrations.

The present US administration is going to amplify a multi-purpose war gambling in the Korean peninsula and the region while persistently "carrying forward" its hostile policy toward the DPRK and viciously varying it, though it revokes the former administration's policies and administrative orders just like flipping a card. This is the conclusion made by the DPRK, witnessing the present situation.

The more desperately the United States resorts to the confrontation with the DPRK, the further the DPRK will accelerate and redouble its efforts and actions to defend its national security and the regional peace, and any provocation and threat of the enemy states will face the overwhelming and decisive counteraction from the DPRK.

The US reckless and shameless "doctrine of strength-almighty" will never work in the security domain of the DPRK, though it may work elsewhere.
