Pyongyang, August 20 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for
the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK Monday issued the following statement:
Dark clouds of a war are hanging over the
Korean Peninsula in which the north and the south of Korea stand in the most
acute military stand-off in the world.
The U.S. finally kicked off extremely
provocative large-scale joint military exercises, defying the unanimous desire
of the people at home and abroad for peace and stability on the peninsula.
Ulji Freedom Guardian, a military expression of
the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK, is aimed at invading it, to all
intents and purposes. Hurled into the war drills now under way across south
Korea are huge aggression troops enough to fight a war according to the mode of
an actual war to invade and seize the DPRK all of a sudden.
This large-scale saber-rattling kicked off by
the U.S. in the wake of patronizing and instigating hideous hostile acts of the
south Korean puppet regime to hurt the dignity of the supreme leadership of the
DPRK is an undisguised military provocation.
In recent years the U.S. staged big joint
military drills more often and in more intensive manner, pursuant to its new
defense strategy to contain the DPRK and countries around it by force. The core
of the new defense strategy calls for shifting the strategic focus to the
Asia-Pacific region and putting Asia under control through massive arms buildup
and military blackmail.
Its primary target is to bring down the DPRK by
force and use the whole Korean Peninsula as a springboard for realizing the
strategy to dominate Asia.
The prevailing situation requires the DPRK to
bolster up the war deterrent physically and goes to prove that it was entirely
just when it determined to fully reexamine the nuclear issue.
The DPRK's war deterrent serves as a just means
for retaliation as it is capable of mercilessly punishing any aggressors no
matter where they are on this earth.
This is an all-powerful treasured sword for
protecting the sovereignty of the country and a powerful means for deterring
the war on the Korean Peninsula. It also provides a firm guarantee for
concentrating efforts on economic construction and the improvement of people's
living standard.
It is a stark reality on the peninsula that
talking alone cannot prevent a war.
The arms of the country guarantee its peace and
prosperity.
The U.S. would be well advised to face up to
the situation and roll back at once its anachronistic hostile policy toward the
DPRK.
The U.S. persistent pursuance of its invariable
hostile policy would only precipitate its miserable end.
It is the firm will of the army and people of
the DPRK to counter the aggressors' preemptive firing with deadly
counter-actions and achieve the country's reunification through this decisive
war.
