Worse still, the number of outdoor mobile training exercises, staged as part of Ulji Freedom Shield, increased from 38 in 2023 to 48 in 2024, and has turned into provocative Special Warfare ventures, the keynote of which are “Occupation of Pyongyang” and “Beheading Operation.”
Notably, the above-mentioned military exercises, including a drill simulating a nuclear confrontation with the DPRK, bring to light clearer the provocative nature of Ulji Freedom Shield as a prelude to a nuclear war.
“Transparency” of the Joint Military Drills touted by the US is no more than trickery to deceive the international community.
Most of the countries, which are to “observe” whether the US-ROK joint military exercises are staged in conformity with the requirements of the Korean Armistice Agreement, are Member States of the “UN Command” or NATO Member States under the control of the US. It is clearly evident that it is utterly impossible to expect any neutrality or impartiality from them.
