Foreign Ministry officials in the North made it clear that the hermit kingdom does not want war with the US, but it will not shy away from it either, according to Alexander Vorontsov.
They claim they are convinced the US is set on a course for preventive war and is shaping the battlefield for military operations against the North.
North Korean officials said: “Our soldiers have long been sleeping without removing their boots.”
Foreign and Military Affairs Correspondent Mr Vorontsov spent time in North Korea and claims it was a sobering experience.
Writing in 38North, he said: “During my visit, I heard nothing to suggest that North Korea is prepared, at this time, to be the first to accept the Russian and Chinese proposal for a freeze on its missile and nuclear tests in return for American agreement to freeze its joint military exercises with South Korea.
“The North Koreans insisted their sovereignty be respected and rejected any preconditions.
“Although my North Korean interlocutors acknowledged that the Korean Peninsula was sliding toward war, they reaffirmed the country’s commitment to achieving nuclear parity with the United States.”
He goes on to say that North Koreans see the joint military exercises between the US and South Korea as “anything but routine”.
Mr Vorontsov continued: “To the contrary, there was a sense among them that the Pentagon has launched the contact reconnaissance phase of a military operation it is planning to undertake on the peninsula.
“They noted that the geographical features of the Korean Peninsula provide no opportunity for the gradual, methodical buildup of troops to create a superior strike force—as was the case before the US attacked Iraq—and that North Korea would immediately notice such actions and naturally regard them as a casus belli (an act or event that provokes or is used to justify war).
“In their eyes, the Pentagon is rehearsing elements of a coordinated military operation one step at a time. The three aircraft carrier strike groups that are operating in Korea’s East Sea, as well as many other operations, were not just a show of force.”
