Japan urged not to blindly follow U.S.

Pyongyang, January 15 (KCNA) -- The DPRK stands in all-out confrontation with the U.S. imperialists to counter their increasing nuclear blackmail, Rodong Sinmun today says in a signed commentary. Japan's involvement in the U.S. moves to stifle the DPRK only leads to self-destruction, the commentary notes, and continues:
There is a limit to the DPRK's magnanimity and good faith toward Japan.
Last year the DPRK showed great generosity toward Japan, considering the apology expressed by it in the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang declaration as sincere.
But Japan failed to observe etiquette and morality in dealing with the DPRK.
What is more serious is that no sooner had the U.S. cooked up the issue of the DPRK's "nuclear development" and internationalized it than Japan played the role of its shock brigade. And its diplomatic boss, acting as a trumpeter for the U.S., demanded the DPRK scrap its "nuclear program" before dialogue. He worked hard to establish an international "cooperation system" in a bid to stifle the DPRK while talking about "concern" and the "pressure of the international community."
Japan's recent mean behaviour of dancing to the U.S. tune lashes the DPRK into a bitter wrath at Japan, bereft of any independent stand and faith.
The hearts of the army and people of the DPRK are still burning with bitter hatred for Japan. The increased zeal shown by Japan in joining the U.S. in its moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK in contravention of the spirit of the Pyongyang declaration will only touch off their towering hatred against it and harden their will to force it to pay for its past wrongdoings come what may.
Japan should stop toeing the U.S. policy to stifle the DPRK with nukes.
