KCNA Blasts U.S. Nuclear War Scenario

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

    Pyongyang, May 21 (KCNA) -- The U.S. has become all the more outspoken recently in its call for preempting a nuclear attack on the DPRK. The NBC said recently that last year Pentagon worked out a plan for preemptive air raids aimed to destroy the nuclear facilities in the DPRK.
    The plan for intercepting missiles to be launched by the DPRK before getting the president's approval was reported to have been in the pipeline. Timed to coincide with this, outbursts that the three services of the U.S. forces have been braced for a preemptive nuclear attack operation are heard from among Pentagon brasshats.
    All this indicates that the U.S. preparations for a preemptive nuclear attack have already gone beyond the danger line.
    The U.S. has long pushed forward preemptive nuclear attack operation plans since they were drawn up on the sly.
    As early as in 1974 the U.S. came up with "OPLAN 5027" calling for hurling aggression troops on its mainland into south Korea to join other American troops there and south Korean forces to preempt an attack on the DPRK in case of emergency. The plan has since undergone a biannual modification and supplement.
    In 1991 the U.S. conducted mock A-bomb dropping exercises inside a U.S. military base. From Jan. to Jun. 1998 it had carried out mock nuclear warhead dropping exercises simulating an air delivery of 30 nuclear weapons from an air base in North Carolina to the sky above the DPRK.
    In 2002 the U.S. reinforced the "OPLAN 5027" with a clause calling for preempting an attack on key military facilities in the DPRK without a consent of south Korea. Last March it staged madcap war exercises against the DPRK after introducing an aircraft carrier and an assault nuclear submarine. The preparations for a preemptive nuclear attack against the DPRK stepped up by Washington in the wake of its drafting of a series of nuclear war scenarios have pushed the situation on the Korean Peninsula close to a war.
    The reality proves once again it is none other than the U.S. that has harassed peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and it is the arch nuclear criminal that may bring a nuclear disaster to the region.
    Even at this moment it is talking about a "peaceful solution" to the nuclear issue on the peninsula and the resumption of the six-party talks.
    Yet, it has stepped up the preparations for a nuclear war to stifle the DPRK by force behind the scene.
    The lip-service paid by the U.S. to the "diplomatic settlement of the nuclear issue" while contemplating mounting a preemptive attack on the DPRK any moment under the pretext of a "missile threat" and so on is nothing but a mockery and insult to the international community.
    Should the U.S. truly stand for peace on the Korean Peninsula and peaceful solution to the nuclear issue, it should renounce its hostile policy toward the DPRK and cancel its nuclear war scenarios targeting the DPRK.
