The U.S. propaganda claims that the aircraft can secretly deliver a surprise pre-emptive nuclear strike anywhere in the world, and Washington has already announced plans to build and operate 100 such strategic bombers, the Rodong Sinmun newspaper said in an editorial.

The daily said that Washington used nuclear weapons to threaten, blackmail and intervene in the internal affairs of disobedient countries.

Due to the U.S. reckless moves to modernize and increase nuclear weapons for global hegemony, the world is in danger of losing its balance in terms of the nuclear power of nations.

The planet is returning to the Cold War era because of the United States, a fact that cannot be justified in any way, the text concludes.
