U.S. Double Standards Blasted

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

   Pyongyang, February 8 (KCNA) -- The U.S. unjustifiable policy of double standards must never be allowed, says Rodong Sinmun Thursday in a signed article. Noting that the U.S. applies unwarrantable double standards to the nuclear issue, openly pursuing a policy of nuclear blackmail in disregard of the requirements of the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty and its commitments under the international law, the article goes on:
    The U.S. is the chief violator of the NPT. It has neither justification to demand other countries to scrap their nuclear programs nor the qualification to "judge" others.
    Japan, with the patronage and connivance of the U.S., has stockpiled plutonium enough to manufacture thousands of nuclear weapons.
    Israel has also produced and stockpiled many nuclear weapons by stepping up its nuclear armament in secrecy with the patronage, connivance and cooperation of the U.S.
    The U.S. should have taken issue with Israel's access to nukes. However, it has not put any pressure on it.
    The U.S. undisguised application of the double standards is evidenced by the fact that it has promised cooperation in nuclear technology to countries remaining outside the NPT and is revealing its intention to conditionally allow peaceful nuclear activities of some countries.
    While shutting eyes to and supporting the development and possession of nuclear weapons by pro-U.S. forces and its allies from the stand of unilateralism and prejudice, it styles itself a "nuclear judge", kicking up a row of pressure on those countries incurring its displeasure by pulling them up over their "nuclear issues". This is really the height of sarcasm.
    The U.S. attitude over the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula clearly shows how far the U.S. has gone in its application of the double standards.
