Seoul, August 1 (IANS): North Korea on Saturday condemned the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) recently approved fuel network overhaul plan, casting it as an "unprecedented" effort to prepare for war and evidence that the alliance is becoming "a more aggressive military bloc." This shows that NATO is clinging to the provision of strategic reserves for war while regarding it as a vital matter," the commentary said. Pyongyang further alleged that the initiative reflected NATO's intention to stockpile military supplies for future conflicts, reports Yonhap news agency. "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 commentary said, warning that “to hasten war is to hasten NATO's ruin.”
