KCNA describes U.S. as greatest threat to world peace

    Pyongyang, January 22 (KCNA) -- One third of the Canadian population in an opinion poll conducted by a newspaper of the country singled out the United States as the greatest threat to the world peace, according to VOA. The U.S. formally pulled out of the ABM treaty, a "cornerstone for the world strategic stability," last year, thus sparking a new nuclear arms race. The U.S. still refuses to ratify the 1996 comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty. Moreover it worked out a "strategy of preemptive nuclear strike" in violation of the spirit of the NPT, the strategy which calls for preemptive nuclear strikes at those countries which are considered to be threats to it or disobedient to it.
    The U.S. has become more undisguised in its high-handed and brigandish aggression against various countries of the world under the pretext of "anti-terror war", particularly against those countries advancing along the road of independence against the U.S., with the "September 11 incident" as a momentum.
    The U.S. is escalating its threat of a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula, straining the situation in Northeast Asia.
    Since the end of the Cold War the U.S. has further strengthened its military alliance with Japan. It has encouraged the overseas dispatch of Japan's "self-defence forces" (SDF). Even "Aegis" vessels of the "SDF" are now involved in the U.S. operation in the Indian Ocean under the pretext of the "anti-terrorism war."
    The U.S. totally scrapped the DPRK-U.S. agreed framework after singling out the DPRK as part of "an axis of evil" and a target of its preemptive nuclear attack and it brought up the DPRK's "nuclear issue" again in a bid to internationalize it. This is a serious move to derail the process of peace and reconciliation on the Korean Peninsula and unleash a new Korean war at any cost.
    The U.S. is kicking up a war racket worldwide, ballyhooing about some sort of "threat." It is not aimed at serving the purpose of "preventive strategy" for peace but at achieving its imperialistic ambition for world domination as early as possible without fail by taking advantage of its strategic superiority in the post-cold war period to its best ability.
    That is why deep concern is voiced over the U.S. high-handed and arbitrary practices and war racket and anti-U.S., anti-war demonstrations are frequent even in U.S. allies. It is not accidental that even Canadians who are free to travel the U.S. without visa term the U.S. the greatest threat to the world peace.
