Japan-U.S. Military Cooperation Assailed

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, April 20 (KCNA) -- The Japanese reactionaries recently decided to share the information gathered by a new type "future warning and control radar" with the U.S. under the pretext of a "missile threat" from the DPRK, meeting the U.S. demand. A signed commentary of Rodong Sinmun today says the measure taken by the Japanese reactionaries clearly proves that they seek to mount a preemptive attack on the DPRK in collusion with the U.S.
    The commentary goes on:
    An institute under the Japan Defense Agency in its recent annual report titled "2004 review of East Asian strategy" reiterated the need to put pressure upon the DPRK with the six-way talks as a momentum and to mount a preemptive attack on its missile-launching base and use guided missiles and other arms to attack it. In March the Japanese government confirmed its plan to set the norms to be observed by units of the "Self-Defence Forces" when sharing information with the U.S. forces and intercepting missiles as part of the preparations for introducing the Missile Defense System whose aim is to intercept ballistic missiles of the DPRK.
    These measures eloquently prove that Japan is working hard to realize its wild ambition for reinvasion while actively pursuing the U.S. Korea strategy.
    The Japanese chief executive fully supported the U.S. when it took the measure to dispatch the latest type destroyer Aegis to the East Sea of Korea and the SDF forces staged madcap joint military exercises with the U.S. forces under the simulated conditions of intercepting and capturing the DPRK's planes and ships. All this indicates that the Japanese reactionaries' attempt to mount a preemptive attack on the DPRK in collusion with the U.S. imperialists has entered the phase of its implementation.
    The Japanese reactionaries are getting evermore undisguised in their adventurous military moves against the DPRK, more closely cooperating with the U.S. under the pretext of the non-existent "nuclear and missile threats" from it. This clearly tells that they have no intention to respect and sincerely implement the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration.
    The Japanese reactionaries are sadly mistaken if they calculate they can realize their ambition for reinvasion by mounting a preemptive attack on the DPRK in collusion with the U.S. imperialists. Japan is within the firing range of the armed forces of the DPRK. Japan should not misjudge the strength and will of the DPRK but stop adventurous military moves which may entail catastrophic consequences.
