Reckless War Drills for Invading the North

Reckless War Drills for Invading the North

The US and the south Korean war hawks staged from October 29 the joint war exercises “Hoguk” on land, the sea and the sky of south Korea, aimed at invading the north.

The south Korean land, sea and air forces operation commands, naval fleets, aircraft squadrons, and huge troops of the US aggression army stationed in south Korea and abroad, and immense war equipment were intensively committed into the 10-day drills.

The mine-sweeping ships, dock-landing warships, guided-missile destroyers of the US army, and the landing ships and war vessels of the south Korean navy conducted the drills of naval battle, submarine battle, mine-sweeping and landing operation in the East and West Seas in actual war circumstances.

Strategic bombers, fight bombers, pursuit-assault planes of the US aggression army from the overseas bases ran wild in the exercises of striking major targets, nearby aerial support, emergency taking-off and landing, distant navigation and bombing, in cooperation with the US 7th air force stationed in south Korea and the south Korean flying corps.

In particular, large-scale combined landing drills of the south Korean and US marines were conducted in the East Sea on November 4.

Many marine troops and aircrafts, tanks and self-propelled guns of different kinds were involved there. They staged madcap drills of landing on a fixed place through naval charge, then advancing inland to sweep off someone’s enemy.

The joint war drills are a reckless act aimed at surprise preemptive attack on the north from the land, the sea and the sky in light of their nature, scale and content, and overt military threat to the north and preliminary operations for the 2nd Korean war.

Now the Korean Peninsula witnesses détente by the positive initiatives of the north and the north Korea-US dialogue mood gains momentum. So the aggressive joint war drills the US and south Korean war hawks staged under the codename “Hoguk” are very grave acts which drive the situation of the peninsula to a severe tension and damp the dialogue mood.

All the facts plainly show that the US and the south Korean bellicose forces are the main source of the tension and confrontation in the Korean Peninsula.

The US and the south Korean bellicose forces must stop at once the reckless war drills against the north and behave prudently, keeping in mind that the war exercises could only deteriorate the north Korea-US and inter-Korean relations and only bring about confrontation and tension.
