Japan hit for toeing U.S. line

KCNA

    Pyongyang, June 12 (KCNA) -- Director general of the Japan Defence Agency Ishiba addressing an international meeting recently said that North Korea poses a grave threat to the peace and security in Northeast Asia including Japan and a stronger countermeasure would be needed in case it deteriorates the situation. Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun today queries what does his talk about "stronger countermeasure" mean and what does "understanding" of "all options including military pressure" claimed by the United States imply.
    The news analyst goes on:
    The DPRK is fully ready to counter the U.S. military attack.
    Its retaliation against it will be decisive and merciless. In that case Japan, too, will not be safe.
    Japan's assertion about the "importance of multilateral negotiations" was prompted by its real intention to use the multilateral talks as a leverage for laying an international siege to the DPRK, not to truly settle the nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula.
    Lurking behind Japan's ceaseless ruckus over someone's kidnapping issue is its black-hearted intention to flee from its responsibility to redress its past wrongdoings by internationalizing the kidnapping issue at any cost and misleading public opinion.
    Japan should not dance to the tune of the U.S. but ponder over the grave consequences to be entailed by the worsening DPRK-Japan relations, he urges.
