Like a strong drink, North Korea’s shrill Stalinist rhetoric should be consumed in small sips. A good time of year to sample this brew is in March, when the U.S. and South Korea hold joint military exercises called Key Resolve/Foal Eagle. This statement by the Korean People’s Army Supreme Command warns the U.S. and South Korea about the consequences of these yearly maneuvers.
The order by the Korean People’s Army Supreme Command says in part:
In a statement issued on Monday, a spokesman for the Korean People’s Army General Staff strongly insisted before they began, the south Korean puppet warmongers and U.S. imperialists stop their criminal and reckless Key Resolve and Foal Eagle exercises, branding them war games and nuclear war maneuvers aimed at mounting a preemptive surprise attack on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. But they defied the DPRK’s just demand and launched their exercises for aggression on March 8.
Every citizen must take a great leap forward and help build a thriving socialist state, each heart burning with hatred for the enemy, each holding a rifle in one hand and a hammer or sickle in the other. This instruction by the Supreme Command is the most appropriate self-defense measure for protecting the headquarters of the revolution, the prosperity of the country and the eternal happiness of the people from the reckless moves of aggression by war maniacs.
The revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK regard the dignity and sovereignty of the nation as dearer than their own lives, and will show what kind of miserable end the U.S. imperialists and south Korean puppet warmongers meet if they dare ignite a war of aggression.
