KCNA Blasts U.S. Hostile Policy toward DPRK

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

   Pyongyang, June 18 (KCNA) -- The U.S. military bellicose forces are persisting in their sinister hostile policy toward the DPRK.
    Shortly ago, the U.S. secretary of Defense and other military bellicose forces vociferated about the "necessity" to tighten the "military alliance" with south Korea, groundlessly charging that "north Korea is posing a serious threat to security".
    The newly-appointed commander of the U.S. forces in south Korea, in particular, blustered that they should maintain the "strong capability" to cope with all kinds of potential "threats" through the development and introduction of ultra-modern weapons, joint military exercises and others.
    This cannot be construed otherwise than a very dangerous action to keep the structure of confrontation dating back to the Cold War era on the Korean Peninsula.
    Clear is the aim sought by the U.S. through this.
    It seeks to secure a justification for perpetuating its military presence in south Korea and launch a preemptive strike at the DPRK any moment by boosting the cooperation in the moves to escalate the military pressure upon it.
    Prompted by this design, the U.S. secretary of Defense agreed with his south Korean counterpart to keep the strength of the U.S. forces in south Korea at the present level during his junket to it.
    It is crystal clear that these disturbing developments are bound to adversely affect the favorably advancing process of the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and the DPRK-U.S. relations.
    It is anachronistic, indeed, to insist on the above-said structure of confrontation, swimming against the trend of the times.
    The attitude of the U.S. persistently kicking up the racket of military confrontation to get on the nerves of its dialogue partner, while paying lip-service to "dialogue" and the like, is nothing but an undisguised provocation to the DPRK.
    The DPRK will never remain a passive on-looker to this.
    The U.S. would be well advised to behave itself, bearing in mind that a stand-off will not help settle any matter.
