U.S. Bellicose Forces' Accusation against DPRK Refuted

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

   Pyongyang, August 12 (KCNA) -- The U.S. Department of Defense in a recent "defense strategic report" once again openly slandered the DPRK as a rogue state threatening the international order.
    Rodong Sinmun today observes in a signed commentary in this regard:
    It is foolish and ridiculous of the U.S. bellicose forces to try to do harm to the DPRK by attaching a very insulting and provocative label to it over its measures to increase its war deterrent.
    The hostile moves of the U.S. to stifle the DPRK remain unchanged and they have gone beyond the tolerance limit, the commentary notes, and goes on:
    The U.S. bellicose forces cooked up shocking incidents whenever there was a climate of peace on the Korean Peninsula, pushing the situation to the brink of a war.
    Multi-faceted contacts and dialogues are now under way to settle the nuclear issue on the peninsula and improve the DPRK-U.S. relations and they have made a series of advances.
    The U.S. talked about the "improvement" of the bilateral relations including the settlement of the nuclear issue on the peninsula before negotiators of the DPRK but is regarding it as "an enemy" and the target to be eliminated behind the scene.
    The U.S. aggressive strategy towards the DPRK remains unchanged. It is only the methods of carrying it out that have undergone changes. The U.S. is talking about "dialogue" at the negotiating table but sharpening its sword to stifle the DPRK militarily as soon as its negotiators went back. This double-dealing attitude of the U.S. is compelling the DPRK to bolster its war deterrent to the maximum with a high degree of vigilance.
    It is the DPRK's independent mode of counter-action to respond to good will with good will and react to a hard-line policy with the toughest measure.
    The rights to option and decision are not the monopoly of the U.S.
    If the U.S. persistently pursues its hostile policy to stifle the DPRK, talking about "dialogue" with the DPRK with an ulterior motive, the latter will exercise its right to decision and go ahead as it is determined. The U.S. should be held fully accountable for all the ensuing consequences, concludes the commentary.
