Japan's anti-DPRK smear campaign under fire

KCNA

    Pyongyang, March 25 (KCNA) -- The director general of the Japan Defense Agency and high-ranking officials of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and the government and the military of Japan are claiming that the nuclear issue of North Korea is the greatest factor of threatening the peace and stability in Asia and the Japan-U.S. security pact serves as a deterrent force. Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary says that the "nuclear threat" of the DPRK is a sheer lie fabricated by the U.S. and a leverage to put pressure upon it.
    It continues:
    Lurking behind the Japanese reactionaries' hue and cry over the "nuclear threat" from the DPRK is a sinister intention to realize their ambitions for the conversion of Japan into a military power and overseas expansion under that pretext.
    The Japanese reactionaries are taking the U.S. escalated moves to put pressure upon the DPRK over its nuclear issue as a good opportunity to realize these ambitions. They are going to reinvade Korea following the lead of the U.S. This is clearly evidenced by their outbursts that Japan may fight a war with North Korea and it should mount a preemptive attack on North Korea backed by the U.S. before Japan turns into a sea of fire.
    Needless to say, Japan's tightened military nexus with the U.S. under the pretext of the "nuclear threat" from North Korea would step up Japan's build-up of aggressor forces and increase the danger of its reinvasion of Korea.
    Japan's involvement in the U.S. moves to pressurize the DPRK over its nuclear issue would mean a direct military threat and a move to stage a comeback to Korea.
    It is as clear as noonday what consequences Japan's reckless moves will entail.
    If Japan opts for reinvasion, dancing to the U.S. tune as now, it will never have its security guaranteed but meet
