U.S. Invariable Ambition for Nuclear War

KCNA

    Pyongyang, January 16 (KCNA) -- The United States has brought high-tech weapons of mass destruction tested in Iraq and Afghanistan to areas south of the Demilitarized Zone in Korea, rendering the situation of the peninsula very acute. The fact goes to prove clearly that the U.S. call for "six-way talks" and a "negotiated solution to the nuclear issue" is nothing but a ploy to veil its bellicose nature and that its ambition for a nuclear war against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has remained unchanged.
    During the Korean war the United States brought a large amount of sophisticated combat equipment and more than 73 million tons of war materials to the peninsula and after the war it has continued introducing military hardware including weapons of massdestruction into south Korea. In the early 1990s it replaced all combat equipment of U.S. troops in south Korea with sophisticated weapons used in the Gulf War, and formed a new helicopter attack brigade there. It also brought more than 10,000 pieces of equipment including latest-type tanksand armoured cars to south Korea and stockpiled some 700,000 tons of ammunition as of 1997.
    The United States already deployed some 1,000 pieces of nuclear weaponry in south Korea, turning a half of the peninsula into the world's largest arsenal and an advanced base for a nuclear war.
    Kim Yong Chun, chief of the General Staff of the Korean People's Army, told KCNA that all the Korean servicemen were keeping a close eye on the U.S. arms buildup in south Korea, while fully preparing themselves to cope with it.
    It is the unswerving position of the Korean army and people to answer the enemy's rifle with gun and meet the enemy's hardline policy with tougher measures, he added.
