Rodong Sinmun on U.S. Goal to Step up Arms Sale to south Korea

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

   Pyongyang, May 13 (KCNA) -- A "bill on improved military cooperation" between the U.S. and south Korea, a bill calling for raising the status of south Korea in buying American weapons, was brought up for discussion at U.S. Congress in February. In its wake the House Foreign Relations Committee recently passed a "bill" on raising the above-said status of south Korea to that of NATO.
    The U.S. move to step up the sale of its weapons to south Korea in real earnest is a revelation of its invariable hostile policy towards the DPRK and a dangerous military move to mount a surprise preemptive attack on the DPRK. Rodong Sinmun Tuesday says this in a signed commentary.
    It is the scenario of the U.S. to neutralize the military operation capability of the DPRK through a surprise preemptive attack on it in contingency and conclude through blitz tactics the second Korean war with the involvement of U.S. reinforcements including task force from Japan, the Pacific including Guam and Hawaii and the U.S. mainland and the troops in south Korea and south Korean armed forces, the commentary notes, and goes on:
    The U.S. proposed massive sale of its weapons to south Korea is aimed at tightening the "strategic alliance" with south Korea.
    The U.S. and south Korea are linked with each other by the "mutual defense treaty."
    If this "mutual defense treaty" is reinforced by a new "strategic alliance," it will help further tighten the "military alliance" targeted against the DPRK.
    The tightened "strategic alliance" with south Korea much touted by the U.S. is a dangerous military nexus aimed at "strangling" the DPRK by force through reviving the already bankrupt "cooperation system."
    The U.S. intends to intensify military activities after amassing latest military hardware in south Korea and lay a foundation for a new military bloc by drawing south Korean warmongers into it.
    South Korea is now turning into a source of a new war, nuclear war and the situation on the Korean Peninsula is getting extremely tense due to the U.S. moves for bolstering combat forces.
