Japan Defence Agency chief's anti-DPRK outbursts assailed
KCNA
Pyongyang, May 30 (KCNA) -- Director general of the Japan Defence Agency Ishiba at a recent meeting of the "special committee for the institution of law on emergency" of the house of councillors blustered that if North Korea starts feeding fuel to missiles, Japan will consider it as a start of armed attack. He was so preposterous as to assert that Japan would contain the DPRK by a preemptive attack.
Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary says that his war outcries testify to the fact that the Japanese militarist forces have stepped up the militarization, taking advantage of the U.S. hostile policy towards the DPRK to launch overseas aggression, the reinvasion of Korea in particular. It continues:
There is no need for Japan to dramatize the DPRK's efforts to increase its self-reliant defence power. The DPRK's missile program is of purely peaceful nature. its armed forces would never use its force against those who do not provoke it but be merciless towards those who dare attack it.
If Japan does not have any wild ambition to hurt the DPRK, it needs not to be worried nor concerned about the DPRK's moves to increase its self-reliant defence power.
It is by no means fortuitous that the Japanese reactionaries are becoming undisguised in their attempt at a preemptive attack on the DPRK, kicking up a "missile racket" They seek to launch reinvasion of Korea in line with the U.S. policy to stifle the DPRK.
That's why they are siding with the U.S. imperialists who are clamoring for "sea blockade" and "sanctions" over the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.
If Japan keeps going reckless, pursuing the U.S. hostile policy to stifle the DPRK, not aware of its position, it will have to pay a very high price for that.
The Japanese reactionaries are well advised to stop running amuck, bearing in mind that a preemptive attack would only lead to its self-destruction.
