"Yoon Suk-yeol had aroused shock with such preposterous remarks as 'preemptive strike' and 'main enemy,' and stirred up confrontational madness trumpeting a 'stronger South Korea-U.S. alliance,'" it said.It was referring to comments by Yoon that he would allow a pre-emptive strike on North Korea if signs of attack were imminent, and his description of the neighbouring nation as a "main enemy".
The propaganda site criticised Yoon and his picks for ministers of defence, foreign affairs and the unification portfolio as "pro-U.S. toadies" who had sought confrontation while serving in previous conservative governments.
