Rodong Sinmun Condemns U.S. Arms Buildup in S. Korea
Rodong Sinmun Monday in a signed commentary says that the DPRK cannot but take a serious view of the step, taken by the United States to increase its airforce combat capabilities in South Korea. The present complicated situation compels the DPRK to increase its military power with heightened vigilance, the commentary says, and goes on:
The situation is very complicated and tense and hard to predict as retaliation operations are going on in Afghanistan. Under this situation the U.S. has newly forward-deployed its air task force and military hardware in South Korea allegedly to "fill up a military vacuum," badly getting on the nerves of the DPRK.
Such reinforcement is not for filling up any "vacuum" but intended to attain the u.s. sinister purpose.
The DPRK repeatedly clarified its principled stand to oppose all forms of terrorism as regards the recent terrorist attacks on the U.S.
However, the U.S. is additionally deploying its combat forces in South Korea under the pretext of "military vacuum" to aggravate the tense situation, not squarely seeing the nature of the situation and the reality. This is an undisguised revelation of its unchanged design to dominate the Korean peninsula and the Asia-Pacific region.
The U.S. imperialists' "military vacuum" theory and arms buildup can never be justified.
The DPRK will cement its revolutionary position in every way to actively cope with any situation and sharply watch the developments in full combat readiness.
