U.S. Anti-DPRK Smear Campaign under Fire

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, October 27 (KCNA) -- The United States is busy with an anti-DPRK smear campaign, letting loose a string of balderdash such as a "nuclear test", a "missile test-fire", state-sponsored "drug trafficking", "suppression of religion" and the "training of hackers", etc. in a bid to tarnish its image and brand it as an international "rogue state" and a "trouble-maker." Rodong Sinmun Wednesday carries a signed commentary in this regard.
    Lurking behind this anti-DPRK smear campaign is a sinister aim sought by the U.S. to justify before the international community its unreasonable act of scuttling the DPRK-U.S. talks and stepping up its one-sided hard-line policy toward the DPRK and, at the same time, create an atmosphere favorable for pursuing a more hard-line policy of pressure towards the DPRK in case of Bush's reelection, the commentary observes, and goes on:
    A more important aim sought by it through such mean smear campaign is to keep the situation on the Korean Peninsula unstable all the time and create an atmosphere favorable for realizing its strategy to dominate Northeast Asia.
    This strategy is also targeted against China and Russia. The U.S. is going to force the DPRK, the only country in the hostile relationship of confrontation with it, to fall victim to its strategy in a bid to contain and overpower its surrounding countries.
    Had the DPRK not increased its military deterrent force, it would have been swallowed up by the U.S. long ago and forced into slavery and Northeast Asia including the Korean Peninsula would have turned into the second Iraq and the second Mideast. It is thanks to the Songun politics and strong deterrent force of the DPRK that such abnormal incident has not occurred in Northeast Asia and the present status quo is maintained.
    The Bush group had better clearly understand the DPRK's Songun politics and the might of its deterrent force and drop its despicable wild ambition to realize its strategy of domination over East Asia at the sacrifice of the DPRK.
