Shortly ago, traitor Lee Myung Bak at a gathering of his stooges called for "getting fully ready", talking about "the north's provocation" and "deterrent". On the same day, puppet Minister of Unification Ryu U Ik criticized the DPRK's counteraction as "an extreme reaction", saying "the north is following a wrong way with passion".

A bylined commentary of Rodong Sinmun Sunday dismisses the Lee regime's remarks as a scream of horror of those who were taken aback by the DPRK's declaration that it will not tolerate the enemies' aggressive challenges.

The "sanctions" much touted by the Lee regime will get it nowhere but bring shame and destruction to it, says the commentary, adding:

The regime's call for "getting fully ready", a remark to cover up its embarrassment with the DPRK's tougher reaction, amounts to a last-ditch effort of those who are at a loss being overwhelmed by the might of Songun.

The Lee regime's rhetoric against the DPRK's self-defensive measures over the UN "resolution on sanctions" and its desperate efforts to put a brake on them will end in vain.

No force on earth can block the advance of the army and people of the DPRK along the way of justice, the way for defending its sovereignty, with confidence in the justness of their cause.

It is the steadfast will of the DPRK to firmly defend its dignified socialist system and achieve the historic cause of national reunification despite the enemies' vicious challenges.

Only merciless punishment awaits those who challenge the just cause of the DPRK.
