U.S. Termed Enemy Common to Humankind

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, June 30 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists are a wicked enemy common to humankind. The United States is neither an apostle of peace nor a guardian of democracy nor a protector of human rights. Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says this in a signed article. The article cites facts to disclose the true colors of the United States as the arch criminal that infringed upon independence and sovereignty and blocked social progress, a chieftain of aggression and a kingpin of state-sponsored terrorism and a harasser of peace.
    The article continues:
    The U.S. has engineered at least 100 military coups worldwide to wipe out the movement for national liberation and stifle those countries aspiring after independence against imperialism for over 40 years since the end of the Second World War. Its mean schemes to topple legitimate governments aspiring after independence against imperialism are going on even today.
    The U.S. criminal true nature finds its vivid expression in its frantic moves to destroy socialism, a progressive society and hope and ideal of humankind in which man's independence is fully realized. The U.S. imperialists' offensive to isolate and stifle the DPRK proves that their moves have reached their height.
    The U.S. true colors as a harasser of peace finds its vivid manifestation in the fact that it committed 114 wars and at least 8,900 cases of military intervention up to early in the 20th century since it launched the bloody war of aggression on the American continent and perpetrated 185 military invasions against developing countries up to early 1991 since the end of the Second World War.
    The U.S. imperialists' brigandish and bellicose nature has become all the more undisguised in the new century. Their Iraqi war was most hideous state-sponsored terrorism, typical act of aggression and a crude violation of sovereignty and peace in the 21st century.
    The U.S. is the only nuclear war criminal in the world as it developed and used nuclear weapons for the first time in human history and the world's worst nuclear fanatic as it poses constant nuclear threat and the danger of a nuclear war to the world.
    The U.S. is the world's worst exploiter, plunderer and human rights abuser.
    Multi-national companies were a main form of international monopoly that appeared after the end of the Second World War and they served the U.S. as a major means for exploitation and plunder. The multi-national companies belonging to the U.S. made their way to developing countries facing economic difficulties under the pretext of "aid" to rake up profits per dollar 4-5 times or even 10 times what it had invested.
    Economic chaos and crises including the financial crisis in Asia that occurred worldwide by the end of the 20th century were directly or indirectly related to the U.S. which seized this opportunity to meet its unlimited selfish interests.
    In another development, the U.S. is dumping its surplus commodities into the developing countries while putting pressure upon them to open markets.
    "Aid" and "loan" on the lips of the U.S. are a leverage for international exploitation and plunder and lead to economic and political subjugation because it takes away a hundred things after giving one.
    The criminal human rights abuses committed by the U.S. imperialists are clearly proved by their acts of killing or wounding civilians in the 1991 Persian Gulf War and the 1999 Balkan War and the recent disclosure of the U.S. occupation forces' inhuman torture and maltreatment of Iraqi prisoners.
    The U.S. is now employing all sorts of fig-leaves to cover up its crimes committed in the past and its criminal nature. But the U.S. imperialists' aggressive and brigandish nature can never change, the article says, urging everybody not to pin any hope on the U.S.
    What is most important in the anti-U.S. struggle in the present times is that one must build up one's own military force and if all those countries aspiring after independence increase their own military force they can certainly stop the U.S. from running wild, the article says.
