U.S. military threat and pressure upon DPRK lambasted
Pyongyang, February 9 (KCNA) -- The United States has systemically escalated its arms buildup to recover from the disgrace and setbacks it suffered during the Korean War and swallow up the whole of Korea since the conclusion of the Korean Armistice Agreement. In this regard Rodong Sinmun Sunday carries a signed article.It says:
After the Vietnam war was over in the 1970s, the U.S. imperialists singled out the Korean Peninsula as an unstable area, declared they would not rule out a war and have since escalated their military threat and pressure upon the DPRK.
They had staged "Team Spirit" joint military exercises against the DPRK for 16 years since 1976, creating extremely tense situation on the Korean Peninsula.
As they were forced to stop the exercise by the internal and external pressure and changes in the international relations in the 1990s, they made sure that the contents of the former exercise were reflected in the "Ulji Focus Lens" joint military exercise and expanded the scale of the exercise in a bid to escalate the military confrontation and tension on the peninsula.
After working out the "operation plan 5027" aimed at invading the DPRK, they revised the war scenario as the adventurous "operation plan 5027-98" late in the 20th century in a bid to provoke the second Korean war.
Having stockpiled over 1,000 nuclear weapons in South Korea, they are openly calling for the use of nukes. They are desperately working to stifle the DPRK, peddling the fiction about the DPRK "development of nuclear weapons" and instigating the International Atomic Energy Agency to put international pressure on the DPRK.
The U.S. is taking measures to massively bolster its forces in and around South Korea in an undisguised bid to mount a preemptive attack on the DPRK.
It is quite natural for the DPRK to take the toughest measure to protect its supreme interests under this severe situation.
The U.S. imperialists should properly understand the stand of the DPRK and stop at once their reckless military threat and pressure.
