U.S. Talk about Any Change in DPRK Dismissed as Ridiculous

KCNA

    Pyongyang, January 19 (KCNA) --It is ridiculous of the United States to expect a certain change from the DPRK and it is an expression of its ignorance of the DPRK, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary. The U.S. had better drop its day-dream and have a realistic sound way of thinking, it urges.
    This is reaction to the recent unreasonable remarks made by officials of the U.S. administration that the DPRK violated its commitments over the nuclear issue and speculative reports spread by the U.S. in a bid to link the recent developments in some Mideast countries to the DPRK.
    The commentary goes on: It is quite ridiculous of the U.S. to talk about the DPRK's violation of commitments despite the DPRK's constructive stand to solve the nuclear issue. The commentary cites facts to prove how the U.S. backpedalled its commitment toprovide light water reactors to the DPRK, a basic issue of the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework.
    It goes on:
    The DPRK has advanced a series of constructive proposals to settle the nuclear issue. But the U.S. has thrown obstacles in the way of finding a peaceful solution to the nuclear issue by persistently insisting that the DPRK scraps its nuclear program first.
    Underlying the U.S. hue and cry over violation of commitments is a sinister aim to disarm the DPRK with ease.
    The same aim is pursued by the U.S. in seeking to orchestrate the same developments in the DPRK as what happened in some Mideast countries while shelving the solution to the nuclear issue between the DPRK and U.S. on the basis of its brigandish logic. What happened in those countries has nothing in common with the DPRK. The DPRK never does such a foolish thing without any principle as unfolding an umbrella looking up to blue sky simply because other countries do so.
    The United States and some of its allies assert the U.S. may give "written security assurances" to the DPRK after it is disarmed.
    Their assertion is little short of forcing the DPRK to drop arms and enjoy peace as slaves. The army and people of the DPRK will as ever firmly maintain its principle of national independence under the banner of Songun and get fully ready to cope with any situation and development.
