No One Will Benefit from Rising Tension on Korean Peninsula: KCNA Commentary
Pyongyang, May 25 (KCNA) -- The Japanese defense minister recently said the U.S.-south Korea combined exercises would serve as a deterrent to the DPRK. He also spoke out about the importance of increasing the sense of existence of U.S. troops in East Asia.

These remarks reveal his black-hearted intention to incite all the worst hostility towards the DPRK in pursuit of Washington.

As already reported, those war-like forces in Washington and Seoul staged combined naval exercises against Pyongyang with huge armed forces such as a super-large nuclear-powered carrier flotilla capable of carrying out a nuclear war involved. They also waged other military drills of different missions. This is one more threat and blackmail against the DPRK and the worst military provocation to ignite a nuclear war against it at any cost.

The U.S. and its south Korean puppet regime wage frantic military drills in succession in a desperate effort to ignite a nuclear war.

This has an adverse impact on the development of the situation in the Asia-Pacific region.

Now that Washington is seeking to strike the DPRK with south Korea as a strategic stronghold and put the Asia-Pacific region under its control by force of arms, the tension on the peninsula will flare up all over the region and the escalating danger of war will develop just to that threatening the region.

It is nonsense to claim deescalating the tension in the region without defusing the tension on the peninsula.

In a word, the screwing up of tension on the peninsula will benefit no one.

The unbiased world opinion condemned Washington as a main architect of the provocation of a nuclear war on the peninsula and a very cause of disturbing the peace in Northeast Asia and the rest of the world.

Contrary to the fact, Japan fans up the atmosphere of hostility towards the DPRK in a sinister aim.

Japan further bolsters up its "Self-Defense Forces" and puts spurs to the "law revision" for going militarism under the pretext of the DPRK's nuclear weapons and missiles.

It uses the tension on the peninsula as a justification for military actions for converting Japan into a militarist state and starting overseas aggression.

If a war breaks out on the peninsula, Japan, which is the U.S. overseas logistic base will also suffer.

In the light of such a simple logic, will it be normal for Japan to stir tension on the peninsula?

More reasonable thinking will be beneficial to Japan itself.
