S. Korean War Hawks' Arms Build-up under Fire

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, December 20 (KCNA) -- The south Korean war hawks are accelerating the arms build-up under the signboard of the "cooperative self-reliant national defence." This is intolerable as it is aimed to step up the preparations for a war against the fellow countrymen in the north, zealously toeing the U.S. hostile policy towards the DPRK. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed article. It continues:
    The south Korean trigger-happy elements' loud-mouthed "cooperative self-reliant national defence" is, in essence, aimed to further tighten the alliance with the U.S. and round off the preparations for a war against the north in league with foreign forces.
    It is a dangerous development that the south Korean war hawks have become frantic in their preparations for a war against the fellow countrymen in cooperation with outsiders even in the era after the publication of the June 15 joint declaration when the nation should strive to defend the peace of the country and achieve the independent reunification of the country by the concerted efforts of the Koreans.
    The south Korean war-like forces talk much about "reconciliation" and "cooperation." But they are whetting swords for aggression in support of the U.S. move to ignite a war of aggression against the DPRK, still regarding the fellow countrymen in the north as a "principal enemy." Those forces deserve curse and condemnation by all the fellow countrymen.
    The arms build-up stepped up by the south Korean war hawks against the fellow countrymen in cooperation with the outside aggressor forces, challenging the unanimous desire of the whole Korean nation for peace and reunification, will only precipitate their self-destruction.
    The mad-cap military moves of the south Korean war-like forces should be stopped without delay as they will only escalate the confrontation and military tensions to provoke a new war on the Korean Peninsula.
