Dialogue and Military Pressure Can Never Go Together

KCNA

    Pyongyang, November 11 (KCNA) -- The United States continues threatening and blackmailing the DPRK even after its official announcement that it would seek a negotiated settlement of the standoff between the two countries, vitiating the atmosphere of dialogue, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary. It goes on:
    The U.S. is inciting a war climate in areas around the Korean peninsula while examining the deployment of an expeditionary unit of the U.S. marines in south Korea under the pretext of rapid counteraction in case of emergency in Northeast Asia.
    Dialogue and military pressure can never go together.
    A scrutiny of the U.S. acts gives rise to skeptism as to whether it is truly interested in solving the nuclear issue through dialogue and it has willingness to improve relations with the DPRK.
    If we relax and weaken our army, taken in by the dialogue professed by the U.S., we may fall a victim to aggression any moment.
    It is an invariable principled stand of the DPRK to seek a peaceful negotiated solution to the nuclear issue between the two countries and normalize the bilateral relations. However, we can not be left defenceless although a way of dialogue is chosen. Historical lessons and present situation teach the army and the people of the DPRK to be prepared for both dialogue and war.
