U.S. Policy of Strength under Fire

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

   Pyongyang, February 12 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun in a signed article Monday brands the policy of strength forced by the United States as an anti-historical and anti-peace action going against the trend of the times.
    The Bush administration, advertising "the building of a powerful U.S.", is pursuing the policy of strength, a leftover of the Cold War era, in its hare-brained military adventures to put the world under its control by force of arms, it notes, and continues:
    The Bush bloc has chosen a preemptive nuclear attack as the main mode of military action for implementing the policy of strength and is rounding off its arms deployment and military operational command system to suit it. On the other hand, it openly commits brigandish wars of aggression and military intervention to seize independent countries and military strategic vantages under the cloak of "anti-terrorism".
    The U.S. imperialists have adopted the strategy of preemptive nuclear attack as the main mode of war and are making haste with the miniaturization of nukes geared to it, considering that it is now possible to use nukes safely and effectively today when there is no more military rival in the international arena unlike in the Cold War era when the East and West stood in an acute military standoff.
    It results from the policy of strength and policy of aggression forced by the United States that the global situation is getting more complicated and many countries are embroiled in wars to suffer huge losses, human and material.
    The U.S. policy of strength, a leftover of the Cold War era, is doomed to go bankrupt. The faster the Bush administration races along the road of war, clinging to the anachronistic policy of strength, the deeper it sinks into a political crisis. The Bush administration would be well advised not to run about madly in aggression and war, regarding strength as the almighty means, but to follow the flow of the times toward peace.
