Recently
the south Korean authorities made public “the 5-year Plan for Governing the
State Affairs” and referred to what it called “DPRK’s abandonment of nuclear
weapons”.
South
Korean authorities included in this so called “Plan” to “make out ‘a roadmap to
build peace mechanism on the Korean peninsula’ by this year with its conceived
target to make the north give up its nuclear weapons by 2020.”
The
so called “roadmap” is all the more preposterous as it was drawn being ignorant
of current position let alone the four cardinal points of the compass; north,
south, east and west.
This
is only a line of confrontation, not tolerable enough, as it seeks to get rid
of DPRK’s self-defensive nuclear deterrence and harbours a pipedream to realize
“unification through absorption of the north”, just toeing the U.S. line.
The
point of the question is that some quarters have yet to know apart the true
colors of the south Korean authorities, minions of the U.S. in its attempts
against DPRK and distinguish a dark design and plot being pursued by it.
The
mark of the Korean peninsula is a showdown between DPRK and U.S. What calls for
in forming an accurate judgment on the situation of the Korean peninsula and
finding a solution to an issue in it is to have a proper understanding about a
root cause which has triggered all such a dangerous situation.
I
want to state explicitly once again. The nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula
has come, from the ground up, out of U.S. hostile policy and its nuclear
blackmail against DPRK.
U.S.,
the biggest world nuclear power and the one and only user of nuclear weapons in
the world, causes an immense threat to a sovereignty of the country and the
rights to existence of the nation by wielding a tyrannical nuclear stick. It is
under such circumstances that the DPRK was compelled to opt for the nuclear
weapons.
The
U.S., being seized with its inveterate hostility against DPRK, made it as a
policy to launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike and remains undisguised in its
attempt to “decapitate the supreme leadership” and seek “a regime change”. DPRK,
in the face of it, commits itself to a strategic line of bolstering its own
nuclear forces. This is all too just and square self-defensive choice, to which
nobody can make any dispute.
We
were left no other choice but to give a greater spur to bolster our own nuclear
forces as the U.S. continues to resort to upgrade its nuclear weapons at the
cost of an astronomical amount of fund and is in a bid to inflict upon us a
nuclear holocaust by deploying the state-of-art nuclear war hardware in our own
neighbourhood.
U.S.,
being awe-stricken before this, brought us to bear upon the hardest-ever,
all-time record sanctions and pressure to countervail our march. But this only
resulted in putting forth the efforts of our people and increasing the nuclear
attack capacity of our Republic.
The
huge blast of H-bomb after a chain detonation of A-bombs went bang in the
earth’s centre. The medium to long-range strategic ballistic rockets were
launched each and everywhere while the submarine launched ballistic missiles were
blasted off from the launching depth of deepest fathom.
DPRK’s
ICBM, which was developed to terminate from its root the nuclear threat blown
away from the American continent across the pacific for a protracted time of
decades, left its spectacular trajectory just traversing the space of thousands
of miles.
Today,
the our Republic rose high in a dignified statue as an invincible nuclear power
and a global rocket power holding in possession A-bomb, H-bomb and even the
ICBM. We displayed our capacity to launch the ICBM on a pre-emptive basis in
any region and at any place and time and gave clear evidence that the U.S.
mainland can be in the firing range of ours.
It
is none other than the U.S. which has compelled us to bolster up our nuclear
forces and develop the ICBM on the part of us. It is also the U.S. which stands
in the way of the resolution of an issue by means of “maximum pressure” and by
claiming that it will not wait to “use military option”.
We
underwent all sorts of hardships and difficulties to have bolstered our nuclear
forces firm as a rock just as our own inevitable choice to face off the U.S.
persistent hostile policy and nuclear blackmail against the DPRK. This is a
sure guarantee for ensuring the sovereignty of the country and the rights to
existence of the nation as well as for the happiness of all the generations to
come and peace and security of the region.
Nothing
will be more foolish than to seek a pipe dream that all the treasured sword of
Juche Korea, the result of the bloody struggle of our people, can be used as a
bargaining chip over something.
We
already affirmed. We will, under no circumstances, put on a negotiating table
the nuclear weapons and ballistic rockets and will not flinch from the road to
bolster up the revolutionary nuclear forces, a choice of ours unless the
nuclear threat of the U.S. and its hostile policy against the DPRK are
uprooted.
The
only way to resolve the nuclear issue of the Korean peninsula lies in the U.S.
reasons itself with the changed strategic position of ours gives up its hostile
policy against the DPRK and puts an end to its nuclear threat and blackmail
against the DPRK.
