DPRK Slams US for Wrecking Peace by Launching MDS
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) accused on Sunday the United States of wrecking world peace by establishing a controversial Missile Defense System (MDS).
The DPRK's official newspaper Rodong Sinmun said in an editorial that Washington's decision to establish MDS has revealed "its true colors as a nuclear maniac and wrecker of peace. "
The paper said the U.S. decision aimed to contain independent countries, especially big powers through military means, and stick to its hegemonic position in the world.
The United States brands as "dangerous or rogue states"those countries which are opposed to its intervention and highhanded practices by adhering to their independent stand, the paper said.
While Washington argued that MDS is needed to check "threat" from these countries, in fact, "the most dangerous and the biggest rogue state" is the U.S.itself who attempts to "stifle other legitimate sovereign states by force," the editorial said.
The paper also refuted Washington's allegation that the Anti- Ballistic Missile Treaty should be scrapped for the establishment of MDS, describing it as an expression of the "strong-arm and hegemonic policy pursued by the warlike U.S.policy makers."
The DPRK will take strong countermeasures if the US deploys MDS under the pretext of "threat" from the DPRK, warned the paper.
The DPRK urged the U.S. to cool down its "missile hysteria," and see squarely the gravity of the development, the paper said.
