DPRK to Respond to a Hard-line with the Toughest One: Rodong Sinmun

If the U.S. and its followers respond to the DPRK's recent exercise of its option with new sanctions, blockade and pressure offensives, it will exercise the second and third corresponding options, says Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in a signed article. Saying that no one can estimate what they would be, the article continues:

The DPRK Government's measure to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is a manifestation of its legitimate option.

The DPRK has so far showed the utmost self-control and patience, warning the U.S. against pursuing the hard-line policy to stifle the DPRK.

There is a limit to its patience and self-control . By making the bold political decision to withdraw from the NPT, the DPRK put its option into practice. This showed to the world once again that the DPRK does not play on words but practices what it says.

The DPRK's option is guaranteed by its powerful military capacity.

It is its unshakable revolutionary stand and mode of independent counteraction to respond to a hard-line with the toughest one and to a bullet with a shell.

The U.S. should not unilaterally exercise an option, facing up to the option of the DPRK.
