KCNA Commentary on NATO's Frantic War Preparations

 Pyongyang, August 1 (KCNA) -- The world community is watching keenly NATO's frantic war preparations.
Shortly ago, NATO approved the reorganization of the military fuel transport system dating back to the Cold War period.
According to the so-called NATO Fuel Supply Chain Capability Programme Plan, the existing NATO fuel supply chain in western Europe, which has a total length of about 10 000 km, will be connected to its new member states in eastern and northern Europe. And huge projects, ranging from the construction and modernization of new fuel pipelines to the construction of energy storage facilities, will reportedly be launched.
Originally, there were disagreements among the member states because of huge cost, but they were finally settled. This shows that NATO is clinging to the provision of strategic reserves for war while regarding it as a vital matter.
Moreover, an assertion that NATO will get stronger with the establishment of fuel pipelines is being made among NATO member states. This is a clear proof that NATO is developing into a more aggressive military bloc.
What merits attention is that foreign news are commenting that NATO worked out such an ambitious plan to cope with a potential war with Russia. But the issue is more serious. 
In recent years, NATO, which has talked about the inseparability of the security in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, is more frequently introducing strategic assets of its member states into the Asia-Pacific region, demonstrating its military existence, and frequently staging adventurous muscle flexing in the vicinity of the Korean peninsula in collusion with the countries hostile towards the DPRK.
NATO member states including Germany and Italy, the defeated nations in Europe in the past, actively participated in RIMPAC, the largest-ever joint naval drill in the world, which was conducted in the large area of sea around Hawaii and the Pacific Ocean. This clearly proves that NATO always regards the Asia-Pacific region as the theatre of war.
The grave reality, in which NATO is pushing ahead with the provision of strategic reserves as well as massive arms buildup, hints at many things.
In a word, it is the evil intention of NATO to stockpile enough fuel and other war supplies and thus kindle the flames of war any time in any part of the world.
Several decades have passed since NATO was founded as a military bloc but it is unprecedented that it prepares for war so openly as now.
The grave nature of NATO as a war bloc is becoming more obvious.
The fair international community aspiring after justice and peace will never tolerate the dangerous and challenging act of NATO dashing toward war but make a resolute counterattack to them.
NATO's hastened efforts for igniting a war will bring earlier its ruin. -0-
