Rodong Sinmun Calls for Frustrating U.S. Carrot and Stick Policy

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, April 1 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists have become more sinister and crafty in their carrot and stick policy towards the DPRK and other countries. The U.S. could not behave as it pleased when the former Soviet Union stood firm against it. But when renegades of socialism came to power and made one concession after another, the U.S. took a tough attitude towards it and buckled down to bringing it to a collapse. Its carrot tactics succeeded in doing so.
    After the Gulfs War, the U.S. put pressure upon Iraq in various aspects.
    When Iraq yielded to its pressure by making concessions in various fields, the U.S. set the no-fly zone in the air above the country as it pleased, sent a U.N. weapons inspection team there to scour all the targets including presidential palaces and succeeded in invading and occupying Iraq by force of arms with ease. Its stick tactics worked there.
    Rodong Sinmun Thursday in a signed article called for maintaining the utmost vigilance against the U.S. carrot tactics and building up forces strong enough to cope with its stick tactics.
    Aggression and plunder represent the invariable nature of the U.S. imperialists, the article observed, and went on: The U.S. imperialists have used the carrot tactics in order to appease and deceive their rival, weaken and calm down his anti-U.S. sentiment and create illusion about them.
    The U.S. has employed a variety of the carrot tactics such as "peace," "aid" and "cooperation" to cover up nooses and thorn hidden in them.
    The U.S. imperialists become coward before the strong but get ferocious before the weak. They dare not wield a stick before the countries strong in political and ideological capability and enormous in military muscle.
    For the last several decades they have left no means untried to stifle the DPRK. The basic method employed by them is to stifle it by force of arms.
    Their nukes, carrier flotillas, strategic bombers and various types of missiles are involved in this stick tactics.
    The U.S. says that it has "no intention to invade north Korea." But this only betrays its ambition to dominate the whole of Korea at any cost by applying the carrot and the stick to the DPRK.
    The article called upon the world progressive countries and peoples to clearly see through the U.S. imperialists' tactics for aggression and check and frustrate their crafty and vicious moves for aggression.
