Voice of Russia Decries U.S.-S. Korea Naval Drill
Pyongyang, May 20 (KCNA) -- Voice of Russia on May 14 aired an article titled "Vicious Cycle of Tension in Korean Peninsula" which denounced the naval striking drill staged by the U.S. imperialists and south Korean warmongers.

The U.S. nuclear-powered carrier Nimitz took part in the U.S.-south Korea joint naval war drill, seriously threatening the security of the DPRK, the radio said, and went on:

Most of experts see the U.S. behavior as a provocation stemming from misguided way of thinking.

The U.S. is continuously seeking policy of strength.

That is why the DPRK cannot but regard the joint naval drill as a provocation.

The danger in the Korean Peninsula has not yet been removed.

The U.S. spends a huge amount of fund in showing off strength in the peninsula. Its goal is to expand the sphere of domination in the region.

Experts say that this does not contribute to the security of south Korea and the detente of the peninsula.

The situation of the peninsula will aggravate again in July in which the 60th anniversary of the Armistice Agreement falls and in August when there will take place another round of a U.S.-south Korea joint military drill.

The vicious cycle repeats in the Korean Peninsula and the way out is becoming narrower.
