Heightened Vigilance against Imperialist Method of Aggression Urged

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

   Pyongyang, June 10 (KCNA) -- The carrot-and-stick strategy is a hackneyed method of aggression employed by the imperialists, and the world people should sharpen vigilance against the imperialists' cunning and vicious moves for domination, Rodong Sinmun today says in a signed article.
    The imperialists use the stick as an effective means in realizing their wild ambition for domination, the article notes, and goes on:
    The U.S. ruling quarters are overpowering other countries and wantonly violating their sovereignty by military strength in disregard of the accepted international norms and regulations and international laws in a bid to submit the world to their own will. This is an intensive expression of bellicosity, shamelessness and ferocity of the U.S. imperialism, the kingpin of aggression and war seeking to dominate the world with the military whip.
    The imperialists also use the carrot strategy in other countries. This does not mean change in their nature of aggression, and it is intended to attain their aims of domination by beating those countries with appeasement policy.
    In recent years the U.S. has intensified the offensive of "export of democracy" in different regions and countries of the world including the Middle East region. It is an extension of the carrot strategy.
    The imperialists regard the bourgeois ideological and cultural poisoning as an essence of the strategy of "spread of democracy" and attach great efforts to this. The U.S. is intensifying the psychological and strategic broadcasting towards different countries including the DPRK, Cuba and Iran while spreading through various channels and means the reactionary bourgeois idea and the rotten Yankee way of life and culture among the peoples in an attempt to bring about change in their idea and mentality. It is the calculation of the imperialists that they may easily achieve by carrot what they fail to do by whip.
    The imperialists would offer "aid", "cooperation" and "loan" to other countries as if they show generosity. But, such offering does not come from their honest mind for sincere help to those countries and it is by no means for their prosperity. It is a means for securing their economic interests and realizing political and economic subordination and domination.
    It is the bitter lesson taught by the present international situation that if any country cherishes illusion about the imperialists and implicitly follows them without heightened vigilance against such tactics, it cannot defend its own idea and principle in the revolution and construction and even it will be deprived of its sovereignty.
