Redeployment of U.S. Armed Forces Denounced

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, June 22 (KCNA) -- The redeployment of the U.S. troops stationed overseas is aimed to turn them into task forces for a preemptive attack to realize its "preventive strategy" in conformity with the changed circumstances of the 21st century, says Minju Joson in a signed commentary today. Herein lies the reason why the U.S. has stepped up the reduction of its armed forces and the transfer of its military base in south Korea, the news analyst says, and continues:
    It is the U.S. real attempt to reduce the U.S. troops stationed in south Korea and turn them into one with high mobility for a war of aggression and capacity for a preemptive attack.
    The U.S. is intending to round off its preparations for a preemptive attack on the DPRK and establish it military supremacy in Northeast Asia.
    For this criminal purpose the U.S. is planning to ship into south Korea modern military hardware with high mobility and striking power for 4 years to come in a bid to further increase the combat power of the U.S. troops.
    Meanwhile, the U.S. is going to deploy high-performance fighters and long-range bombers at every strategic strong point in Asia-Pacific region including Guam, aiming at the Korean peninsula.
    The extensive "arms buildup" of the U.S. troops in south Korea, is rendering a serious economic and military imbalance between the DPRK and the U.S.
    It is obvious that if such imbalance continues, the possibility of the U.S. preemptive attack upon the DPRK would become a more realistic danger.
    The danger of a war is increasing in the Korean peninsula and the security and right to existence of the Korean nation are exposed to a grave threat.
    This situation compels the DPRK to take a decisive self-defensive measure.
    It is the U.S. that is plunging the Korean peninsula and its surrounding areas into an arms race. The U.S. can never evade the blame for it.
    The U.S. should give up its foolish daydream to increase combat power behind the smokescreen of its deceptive move for the reduction of armed forces and attack the DPRK.
