U.S. Anti-DPRK Vituperation Assailed

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

    Pyongyang, July 11 (KCNA) -- The U.S. diplomatic boss in a recent radio interview, crying over DPRK's "nuclear threat," threw together the balderdash that north Korea cannot join the international community unless it abandons nuclear weapons. Categorically refuting this trash, a Rodong Sinmun commentary Monday says the United States is putting up an absurd argument, never stopping tongue-lashing over the "nuclear issue" of the DPRK.
    The analyst continues:
    It is nonsensical for the U.S. to take issue with the "nuclear threat" from the DPRK. And linking the DPRK's "renunciation of nuclear weapons" with its "joining the international community" is contradictory to the nature of the matter.
    With the DPRK and the U.S. technically at war, no one can tell when the U.S. scheme to make a preemptive nuclear attack on the DPRK will be carried into action. It was not easy but painstaking for the DPRK to have an access to nuclear weapons while going through manifold difficulties imposed upon it by tightened sanctions and blockade by the enemy. However, the DPRK had no other option but to choose this in order to defend its idea and system, security and sovereignty from the U.S. moves to stifle it with nukes. It was a just defensive step, to all intents and purpose, to defend itself. Herein lies the reason why the DPRK has built its own nuclear deterrent.
    But the United States is turning an unseeing eye to the background and purport of the DPRK's accession to nuclear weapons. Wantonly distorting and exaggerating its nature and truth, the U.S. is trying to mislead public opinion by creating the impression that the DPRK is harboring "nuclear ambition" in a bid to brand it as a "nuclear criminal".
    We do not intend to possess nuclear weapons forever. If the U.S. nuclear threat to the DPRK is removed and its hostile policy to "bring down the system" of the latter is withdrawn, not a single nuclear weapon will be needed to the latter. Since the DPRK has been compelled to possess nuclear weapons by the increasing nuclear threat from the U.S., it is quite logical that the U.S. nuclear threat to the DPRK and its hostile policy toward the latter must be retracted, if the nuclear issue is to be settled. This is the pivotal point and the main key to the settlement of the nuclear issue.
