Rodong Sinmun on DPRK's Bolstered War Deterrent Force

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

   Pyongyang, September 16 (KCNA) -- Sovereignty is the life and soul of the Korean people and it is an exercise of the right to self-defence and a measure for legitimate defence for the DPRK to reinforce the war deterrent to cope with the U.S. moves for a new war.
    Rodong Sinmun Tuesday says this in its by-lined commentary.
    The commentary goes on:
    The United States and the south Korean puppets staged the large-scale Ulji Freedom Guardian joint military exercises in south Korea under the pretext of what they called "security" and "keeping the posture for joint defence" in August. This was a test offensive operation for mounting a preemptive attack on the DPRK, to all intents and purposes.
    The United States is seeking to turn the south Korean puppet army into an independent war force under the pretext of "transferring the right to command wartime operations" and use it as a shock force for starting a war on the Korean Peninsula at any cost, while boosting the maneuverability of the U.S. imperialist aggression forces in south Korea and their offensive capability.
    It is in pursuance of this scenario that the U.S. warmongers are persisting in their dangerous war exercises with the south Korean puppet army, massively reinforcing the armed forces in south Korea these days.
    The U.S. bellicose forces' reckless military rackets patently prove that the U.S. imperialists remain unchanged in their wild ambition to stifle and dominate the DPRK by force of arms. The present reality clearly shows once again how just the DPRK was when it bolstered up its war deterrent to cope with the moves of the U.S. imperialists to stifle the DPRK.
    A war has been averted and peace preserved on the Korean Peninsula so far because the DPRK has bolstered the self-reliant defence capability under the banner of the Songun. Songun guarantees the DPRK's sovereignty and the defence of peace. The DPRK is convinced of this through life experience. The DPRK will further increase its war deterrent as long as the U.S. imperialist warmongers continue pursuing the policy for stifling the DPRK.
