U.S Military, Technical Superiority Is Not All Powerful: Rodong Sinmun

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

Pyongyang, June 3 (KCNA) -- The death toll of U.S. troops in Afghanistan is on the steady increase due to the ceaseless attacks by Taliban. This indicates that the U.S. imperialists' military and technical superiority in "the anti-terror war" is not always workable, says Rodong Sinmun on Sunday in a bylined article.

A decisive factor of the victory in the war is not weaponry but ideology and consciousness of fighters, the article says, and goes on:

It is human beings who cognize the law of war and actively apply it and it is also them who make and use weapons.

Such role of human beings may increase or get weak depending on their ideology and consciousness.

Therefore, a victory or defeat in a war is not decided by weaponry but by human ideology and consciousness.

One may say the U.S. imperialists' "anti-terror war" is a modern weaponry-oriented war. In other word, they are set to conclude the war by advantages of high-tech arms. However, they are sustaining bitter defeats due to these crucial weak points.

The U.S. imperialists' military and technical superiority is not workable as the anti-imperialist independent countries are rapidly growing in capability for self-defence and military technology.

Many developing nations are directing great efforts to bolstering their power for self-defence.

Leader Kim Jong Il turned the DPRK into a matchless military power, a nuclear weapons state under the uplifted banner of Songun.

The Korean People's Army is equipped with diverse war methods and tactics capable of coping with any battle and surprise war and fully prepared spiritually and physically. It, at the same time, has in place not only all the offensive and defensive means including self-defensive deterrent but also merciless striking forces. These are the military and technological characteristics of the KPA.

Military superiority is no longer a monopoly of the U.S. imperialists. Gone are the days when they could threaten the DPRK with A- bombs. The U.S. imperialist aggressors would be well advised to properly know this and behave themselves.
