U.S. Responsible for Nuclear Issue in Korea

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

   Pyongyang, January 29 (KCNA) -- The nuclear issue would not have surfaced on the Korean Peninsula if the U.S. had neither introduced nuclear weapons into south Korea nor threatened the DPRK with them.
    Rodong Sinmun Tuesday observes this in a signed commentary carried 50 years since the U.S. formally announced that it introduced nukes into south Korea.
    Noting that the U.S. introduction of nukes into south Korea was a very serious provocation to the DPRK as it amounted to challenging the just struggle of the Republic and all Koreans for peace and reunification of the country with a nuclear threat and it was a direct product of the U.S. aggressive strategy for world domination and its Korea policy, the commentary goes on:
    It was the calculation of the U.S. to browbeat the DPRK and its neighboring countries with nukes in a bid to secure "upper-hand of strength" and carry out its adventurous policy for aggression with ease.
    The U.S. imperialists have escalated their moves for a nuclear war against the DPRK for the last five decades, going against the desire of the Korean nation for peace. The U.S. has reduced south Korea to a huge powder keg for a nuclear war which may go off any moment and systematically increased the danger of a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula, threatening the life and security of the Koreans and persistently standing in the way of their cause of peace and reunification. This is, indeed, a thrice-cursed crime.
    The history and reality clearly prove that the U.S. is chiefly to blame for having escalated the danger of a nuclear war by spawning the nuclear issue on the peninsula and disturbing peace there.
    If the source of a nuclear war is to be removed from the peninsula, the U.S. should stop posing its nuclear threat to the DPRK and drop its hostile policy towards the latter and pull its forces for aggression out of south Korea, to begin with.
