Japan Hit for Hastening Build-up of MD System

    Pyongyang, June 21 (KCNA) -- Japan is now giving spurs to the building of the Missile Defense System by going over to the development stage in the plan of Japan-U.S. joint researches into the MD under the pretext of coping with the "missile threat" from the DPRK. Commenting on this, a Rodong Sinmun analyst today says:
    This indicates that Japan's war-like forces are pushing forward in full scale their preparations to mount preemptive attacks on the DPRK and surrounding countries at any time in military conspiracy with the United States.
    The Japanese reactionaries seek to use the allegation about "missile threat" from the DPRK as an excuse for justifying and openly pushing ahead with their establishment of the MD system.
    They put the veil of "defense" over their projected development and deployment of the MD system for preemptive attacks on other countries. It is nothing but a smokescreen for dulling the vigilance of the surrounding countries and misleading world opinion. There is no doubt that if the Japanese reactionaries, quite emboldened and buoyed with reinvasion fervor with the patronage of the U.S., gain access to the MD system, they may open the fire of preemptive strikes at the DPRK and surrounding countries at any time.
    Their move to build the MD system in cahoots with the U.S. is clear proof that their preparations for overseas aggression are being sped up at the final stage and entering into a practical stage.
    This is a reckless and dangerous act that threatens the sovereignty and security of the surrounding countries and endangers the regional situation.
    The Japanese reactionaries should face up to the reality with a cool head and stop their harebrained military adventure.
