Pyongyang, November 20 (KCNA) -- The U.S. is well advised to properly understand the strong position and will of the DPRK and stand to reason, urges Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article. It goes on:

The Bush bellicose forces let loose a spate of outbursts that it is the uppermost task for U.S. "security" at present to check North Korea's nuclear and missile development and production and that they would use every means and method to this end.

The offensive launched by the U.S. to stifle the DPRK with nuclear weapons after listing it as part of an "axis of evil" is aimed to put the Korean Peninsula under U.S. control and thus create favorable circumstances and conditions for carrying out its strategy to dominate Asia.

The U.S. bellicose forces' talk about the "nuclear and missile threat" from the DPRK is a sheer fabrication which can be dreamed up only by robbers and a war outcry.

The DPRK's policy of self-defence is meant not to threaten or attack somebody but to defend the sovereignty and security of the country.

The U.S. escalated policy to stifle the DPRK by force of arms would only prompt the DPRK to step up its arms buildup to cope with the policy and further increase its army's combat capacity than ever before.

The U.S. increased pressure and intensified moves to stifle the DPRK with nukes will compel Pyongyang to possess more powerful means for military retaliation.

If the U.S makes a reckless attack on the DPRK, bereft of reason, it will sustain the bitterest-ever defeat.

If the U.S. chooses a war, misjudging the DPRK's strength and persistently resorting to military pressure and nuclear threat against it, Pyongyang will be left with no option but to react to Washington with the toughest military measure.
