Japan urged to stop acting rashly
KCNA
Pyongyang, March 19 (KCNA) -- Japan is stepping up the joint research into the ballistic missile defense technology with the United States under the pretext of a "missile threat from North Korea", while contemplating the introduction of the interceptor missile system from the U.S. to make up a "vacuum" to be created before its actual deployment.
In this regard Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary says:
The Japanese reactionaries' hue and cry over the "missile threat" from the DPRK only compels the DPRK to heighten its vigilance as it betrays their reckless intention not to redress Japan's past crimes but reinvade the DPRK, still considering the DPRK as an "enemy".
The DPRK's missile program is of purely peaceful nature and does not pose a threat to anyone. It is the DPRK's legitimate exercise of its sovereign right to go ahead with its missile program of peaceful nature. The DPRK's armed forces show no mercy to those provoking it but it does not use force against anyone who does not hurt it.
If Japan is friendly toward the DPRK, it does not need to fear the DPRK's missile program and its efforts to increase its defence capability at all.
Japan is in a great hurry to introduce the U.S. interceptor missile system not because of the "missile threat" from the DPRK.
It is the black-hearted intention of the Japanese reactionaries to realize their wild ambition for reinvasion of Korea by taking advantage of the U.S. policy to isolate and stifle the DPRK.
If they act without discretion, bereft of reason, they will suffer an irrevocable setback. If Japan, unaware where it stands, keeps acting recklessly, toeing the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK, it will have to pay dearly for it. The Japanese reactionaries are well advised to behave with decorum, properly assessing the situation.
