No U.S. sanctions and blockade will work on DPRK

    Pyongyang, February 6 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article accuses the U.S. of trying to enforce "economic sanctions" and "blockade" against the DPRK over its government's crucial decision to withdraw from the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. U.S. senator John Mccain and others of the U.S. ruling quarters asserted the need to impose sanctions against the DPRK over its withdrawal from the NPT and it is now placed for debate at congress. These are, however, nothing but a base and ridiculous challenge to the DPRK.
    The U.S. has applied sanctions against the DPRK for the past more than 50 years in a bid to strangle it. But those only proved to be blank firing and abortive as it did not work on the DPRK.
    The DPRK does what it wants, standing unfazed in face of U.S. sanctions and blockade and it has grown stronger than ever before. It does not care whether the U.S. puts sanctions upon it or not.
    The DPRK has its own way of living. It can develop its own economy, science and technology as fast as it can to build an economically powerful nation.
    The U.S. is well advised to review with cool head the failures and setbacks it suffered in pursuing the policy of sanctions against the DPRK over the past 50 years and reconsider it. It will do the U.S. good, too.
