U.S. urged not to misinterpret DPRK's stand

KCNA

    Pyongyang, February 28 (KCNA) -- The United States is painting the DPRK's self-defensive countermeasure to cope with its escalating military threat and pressure on the DPRK as "brinkmanship tactics" in a bid to build up public opinion. This only betrays the political imbeciles' ignorance of the reality.
    Rodong Sinmun Friday says this in a signed commentary.
    The commentary goes on:
    The DPRK Government withdrew from the NPT to defend the supreme interests and sovereignty of the country under the present situation. This was solely for the purpose of self-defense.
    Its toughest measure is neither threat nor blackmail against anyone.
    However, the U.S. is floating misinformation that the DPRK's just measure is aimed at wresting a sort of "concession" and getting "economic benefits." The U.S. even went to the lengths of making ridiculous remarks that the DPRK will not get any "aid" unless it meets the U.S. demand.
    Base and ridiculous is the U.S. trick to defile the DPRK's just toughest measure with unreasonable and distorted assertion and accusations.
    No matter what misinformation the U.S. floats to slander the DPRK it will not withdraw its principled stance. The further the U.S. escalates its military threat and pressure on the DPRK, the tougher countermeasures it will take to cope with them.
    The U.S. should stop misinterpreting the DPRK's principled stance and tough measure and honestly opt for solving the issue with a sound faculty of thinking.
