The vicious cycle of tension has persisted on the Korean peninsula for the last several decades due to the U.S. and the south Korean authorities, the article notes, and goes on:

The joint saber-rattling being staged by the south Korean warmongers together with outside forces as an annual event is a stumbling block lying in the way of improving the inter-Korean relations and achieving peace on the peninsula.

The above-mentioned war drills should be stopped in south Korea, first of all, in order to create an atmosphere for repairing the inter-Korean relations and provide a peaceful environment on the peninsula.

With no pretext can they justify the joint military drills with outside forces, the main factor of stoking distrust and confrontation and escalating the danger of a nuclear war.

The mending of the inter-Korean relations would be unthinkable as long as the above-said saber-rattling against compatriots is going on in south Korea.

The south Korean authorities should draw a lesson from the catastrophic consequences entailed by their reckless saber-rattling.

The prospect of the inter-Korean relations entirely hinges on the attitude of the south Korean authorities.
