North Korea said in the ROK-US Freedom Shield (FS) joint exercise, “The aggressive behavior of belligerents goes from pole to pole.” , and we must never forget the characteristics of our people and military who do not know empty words.”
On the 2nd, the Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the North Korean Workers’ Party, announced this while reporting a commentary by the Korean Central News Agency titled, “The reckless behavior of war-mads will come at a price.”
The commentary read, “The madness of war between the United States and South Korea, which enforced the longest-running large-scale joint military exercise ‘Freedom Shield’ from March 13 to 11, under the guise of an all-out war against the Republic of Korea, paralleled the combined landing exercise ‘Ssang-ryuk’. It has been reaching its peak ever since it started.”
He continued, “The fact that the US and puppets are openly ignoring the ‘occupation of Pyongyang’ and the ‘decapitation operation’ that they had previously been reluctant to even mention and are working hard on training to put it into action is an act of hostility against us. shows that it has reached its worst state.”
The commentary read, “With this, whenever the US Department of Defense and the State Department memorize the model answer like a parrot, ‘The training with South Korea is a long-lasting defensive and routine thing’ whenever there is a chance, no matter how much they do, this training is ‘defensive’ or ‘routine’. “Even if we cover the outer shell of the military, we can never hide the fact that it is an intentional military recklessness that started from a nefarious intention and choice to destroy the aggression identity of the provocateurs and the peace and stability of the Korean peninsula and the region,” he stressed.
“As long as the United States and the puppets are making open military provocations toward our Republic, our choice will correspond to them,” he said. It will be very clear what it will be used for next.”
