The Yoon Suk Yeol-led puppet regime goes to extremes in its confrontation hysteria from the outset of the new year.

Traitor Yoon, who started his job for the new year by talking about "completion of the reinforced south Korea-U.S. extended deterrent system within the first half of this year" and "strong establishment of ROK-style three-axis defence system," sent a "message of encouragement" to the puppet army, calling for maintaining firm security posture in the new year, too.

The puppet defense minister, the puppet chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and other military gangsters inspected units of the puppet army on the first day of the new year to let out such confrontational language as "immediately, strongly and to the end." Saying that someone’s "provocation" would just be a prelude to destruction, the gangsters urged its inferiors to completely frustrate someone’s will and capability to commit additional "provocation".

Such belligerent bombast of the Yoon-led clique of traitors encouraged actual military provocations.

The puppet ground force launched new year’s first firing and maneuvering drill involving more than ten units including the puppet capital mechanized infantry division, the second quick response division and the second armored brigade. Meanwhile, the puppet navy kicked off the maritime firing and tactical maneuvering exercises in the east, west and south seas.

The joint combat firing drill, staged by the "lightning" brigade of the puppet capital mechanized infantry division together with the U.S. second infantry division and the "striker" brigade of the U.S.-puppet south Korea combined division in Pochon of Kyonggi Province for a week from December 29 last year, involved more than 110 pieces of military equipment including armed cars and fighter jets.

The puppet military gangsters, terming the responsive action of the DPRK army against the frantic north-targeted war drills along the border a "provocation", cried out for resuming firing drills in the relevant zone, saying no-hostility zones do not exist any longer on the ground and in the east and west seas.

Such behavior of the traitor Yoon-led clique, which is stirring up the atmosphere of confrontation with the DPRK through bluffing and gunfire from the outset of this year, clearly proves whom the arch criminal deteriorating the situation of the Korean peninsula is.

Frequent wind brings rain. Any tiny spark may trigger an enormous physical clash between the two hostile countries.

The reckless moves of the traitor Yoon-led clique are no more than bluffing of those stunned by the DPRK’s tremendous military muscle and toughest stand of struggle against the enemy, and a last-ditch effort to tide over its ever-worsening ruling crisis by causing an extreme military conflict.

Misjudgment of the reality, miscalculation of "strength" and wild ambition for escalating the confrontation between social systems push the puppet scoundrels of the Republic of Korea to plunge the ever-worsening security environment of the Korean peninsula into an irretrievable war crisis. Such moves further aggravate their security uneasiness only.

The public in the region of south Korean puppets get increasingly vocal in their criticism of the puppet Yoon regime, deploring "Yoon regime’s tough policy aggravates the danger of military conflict" and "the extreme confrontation may escalate into a nuclear war any time".

They say "the current situation strikes war phobia into their hearts and reminds them of the nightmare of the Yonphyong Island 10 years ago."

The more the gangsters of the Yoon-led regime spout bombastic rubbish to incite confrontation, the sooner it will meet the miserable self-destruction.
