A political commentator believes the United States has launched massive military exercises on the Korean Peninsula “in retaliation” for North Korea’s latest missile test, adding that these actions will only further provoke Pyongyang.

“It is the DPRK that is in the subordinate position. It is not the global hegemonic power. It is the one developing a means by which to defend itself from the imperialist power of the United States and simply standing there and threatening them each time they demonstrate some kind of an ability to stand up for themselves really only displays what kind of a bully the United States really is,” Jason Unruhe told PressTV in an interview on Monday.
