Japan's Moves for Overseas Aggression Blasted

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, September 26 (KCNA) -- Japan is letting out a stream of words that it should relax the "restraint of arms buildup and three principles of arms export" and re-prescribe the overseas activity of its "Self-Defense Forces" as its main duty, not offbeat one at present. In this regard, the advisory body of the Japanese prime minister totally revised the present "plan for fundamental defense capability" based on the "exclusive defense" policy and decided to present to the prime minister an inclusive "report on defense", which deals with such issues of introducing long-range large transport planes necessary for overseas dispatch of the SDF and providing legal conditions for possible production of the missile defense system under Japan-U.S. joint research.
    This fully proves that Japan is trying to change the concept of "defense", which it has superficially maintained in the course of realizing its ambition to become a military giant, into an offensive one and openly convert the SDF into armed forces for overseas invasion. Minju Joson Sunday says this in a signed commentary.
    Referring to the fact that Japan is now readjusting the main structure of the Ground SDF allegedly to cope with attacks and surprise strikes and thus prevent "terrorism" and "infiltration of commandoes", the commentary goes on:
    Japan's desperate military moves under the pretext of coping with "terrorism" are none other than a serious challenge to the aspiration of the international community after the peace and stability of Northeast Asia as they are a manifestation of its ambition for militaristic overseas invasion.
    It is the basic objective of Japan to paint itself as a war state at an early date by realizing its long-cherished ambition for militaristic overseas expansion and conversion into a military power, availing itself of the global trend of "anti-terrorism".
    It is not difficult to guess what holocaust Asia and the rest of the world would suffer if Japan, which is fervent with revenging itself on its defeat in the Second World War, provokes a war of overseas invasion after having complete offensive capability.
    It is as clear as noon day that the Korean peninsula would be the first target of Japan's attack for overseas invasion. Accordingly, the DPRK is watching the recent military moves of Japan with high vigilance and cannot but get fully ready to cope with them.
    Japan should immediately stop its political rashness hastening its self-destruction.
