U.S. shameless threat lambasted

Pyongyang, January 19 (KCNA) -- Recently the U.S. bellicose elements blustered that the "nuclear issue" of the DPRK "should be brought to the UN Security Council" and "concrete countermeasures including economic sanctions against the DPRK would be considered there." In this regard Rodong Sinmun today says in a commentary it fully revealed the shameless nature and wicked intention of the U.S. to internationalize the DPRK's "nuclear issue" in a bid to brand it as a "criminal" and stifle it at any cost.
The nuclear issue and the present situation on the Korean Peninsula are entirely attributable to the U.S. imperialists' hostile policy toward the DPRK, the commentary says, and goes on:
It is none other than the U.S. that compelled the DPRK to withdraw from the NPT.
If somebody wants to remind the united nations of the nuclear issue, he should call into question the U.S. hostile policy to stifle the DPRK, which compelled it to take a self-defence step.
However, the U.S., the assailant, is taking such a high-handed and menacing attitude towards the DPRK, the victim, just like a thief crying "stop the thief", blustering that it would bring the nuclear issue of the DPRK to the UNSC and take sanctions against the DPRK. This is the height of shamelessness.
It is ridiculous of the U.S. to abuse the name of the un for attaining its dirty goal for aggression.
"Sanctions" or military pressure can never work on the DPRK.
If the United States continues to drive the situation to the extremes while branding the DPRK as a "criminal", we will be left with no option but to react to it with the toughest stance. The U.S. will be held wholly responsible for the ensuing consequences.
