KCNA commentary warns against deployment of B-1Bs
  According to the US Indo-Pacific Command on April 20, several B-1B strategic bombers of the US Air Force were forward-deployed from the US mainland to the Misawa Air Force base of the US forces in Japan.
  Its military significance is in the fact that it is the long-term presence and permanent settlement of the US strategic assets in the depth of the Asia-Pacific region, far from being the temporary deployment for the US-Japan joint drill or for muscle-flexing against regional countries.
 The enemies are vociferously calling it "death swan". The deployment of B-1Bs in Japan shows that the military basis of the United States which had resorted to the use of force in the Asia-Pacific region with Guam mainly as its launching base and starting position is changing into a more vicious one. This is clearly a very serious development harmful to regional security.
  The United States is claiming that it is "the first deployment of 'Bomber Task Force' of the US Air Force into Japan that can make sudden sortie anywhere in the world" and that "the deployment contributes to the strengthening of the interoperability between the United States and Japan and regional stability" and that it will "show devotion to the free and open Indo-Pacific security." However, it is as clear as noonday how the "death swan" would "dedicate" to security.
  The "death swan" nested in Japan will not "contribute" to regional security but only serve the US political and military hegemony in the Asia-Pacific region and the formation of the US-led exclusive military bloc.
  The US moves to destroy peace and stability by escalating military threats to the Asia-Pacific region will be subject to due counterattack by the regional people.
