U.S. Chiefly to Blame for Nuclear Proliferation

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

   Pyongyang, June 15 (KCNA) -- The former head of the UN team for the inspection of weapons in Iraq, the general director of the IAEA and others expressed serious apprehension as to the potential danger of a new global nuclear arms race due to the U.S. wrong attitude. Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun Thursday says:
    This assessment made by experts on the disarmament issue clearly proves that the U.S. is chiefly responsible for harassing global peace and stability and posing a nuclear threat and a kingpin of nuclear proliferation.
    Accusing the U.S. war-like forces of putting spurs to the development and production of smaller nukes and the militarization of space in a bid to use nuclear weapons as conventional weapons, seized by nuclear hysteria, the news analyst goes on:
    The U.S. is chiefly to blame for the proliferation of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction.
    It has transferred nuclear substance to its allies or actively helped them produce nuclear weapons in contravention of international convention. It transferred nuclear weapons-grade enriched uranium to south Korea and Israel and encouraged Japan to stockpile plutonium, shutting eyes to it. The U.S. blamed other countries which posed no problem, while sidestepping those issues that should be called into question. It applied sanctions and put pressure upon them and even referred them to the UN under the absurd charge of being "nuclear criminals" for the mere reason that they incurred its displeasure. These are unpardonable crimes.
    The U.S., the world's biggest nuclear weapons state, has applied unjust double standards over the nuclear issue, hindering the implementation of the NPT, fostering nuclear arms race and compelling non-nuclear states to bolster nuclear deterrent.
    The U.S. ever-more undisguised nuclear war moves serve as a catalyst accelerating the global nuclear arms race and creating the danger of a thermo-nuclear war.
    The U.S. has neither justification nor face to talk about other's "nuclear issue" as it is the most ferocious nuclear criminal and the arch criminal gravely threatening human existence and civilization.
    It should lend an ear to the unbiased international voices and stop its reckless moves to start a nuclear war and foster the nuclear arms race before talking about the non-existent "nuclear threats" from other countries.
