U.S. Pressure and High-handed Practice under Fire

KCNA

    Pyongyang, January 23 (KCNA) -- The United States recently forced south Korea to cover all the expenses for the transfer of the U.S. military base in Ryongsan in Seoul. A signed commentary of Rodong Sinmun today dismisses this as a despicable pressure and high-handed practice of the aggression forces. At the 6th meeting of the council for shaping the future policy for cooperation between south Korea and the U.S. the latter forced the former to accept its demand. They decided to transfer the whole base, except 25,000 phyong of land and some offices, to Phyongthaek, an area south of the River Han by the end of 2006. South Korea was pressurized to cover all the expenses for the transfer, the commentary notes.
    The paper terms this an unjustifiable agreement, a product of the master-servant relationship between the U.S. and south Korea and a tragic event proving the deplorable position of the present south Korean authorities still subject to the U.S.
    It goes on:
    The U.S. is now staging this farce in a foolish bid to deliver the U.S. troops present in south Korea from the striking range of the north in case the U.S. provokes the second Korean war on the Korean peninsula according to its military strategy toward Korea.
    The Bush administration's stepped-up transfer of its base in south Korea proves that it is going to ignite a war on the Korean peninsula sooner or later.
    The transfer of the base is part of its preparations for a war against the north. This means that the expenses for this transfer will be covered with the taxes collected from south Koreans to bring the disaster of a nuclear war to them. This goes to clearly prove that the U.S. is a shameless and brigandish aggressor keen to impose a nuclear war upon the Korean nation at the sacrifice of the south Koreans.
    The south Korean authorities should bear in mind that they will suffer bitterer shame and meet a catastrophic fate in future for their disgraceful behaviour yielding to the U.S. pressure.
