Truth about Nuclear Crisis in Korea

The world first nuclear war may break out in the Korean Peninsula.

Missiles carrying nuke warheads are mounted on the launching pads, ready to fire any moment at the enemy bases. For the first time in human history two opponent parts both owning nukes are ready to go in for a war.

The world attention focuses on Korean Peninsula.

The focal point of argument on the international political arena is: when a nuclear war may break out, today or tomorrow; how to evaluate this critical situation; and who is guilty of this crisis and who is to be held responsible for it.

Now, experts are divided in their opinions on this serious issue.

Some ascribe the motive and the origin to our Republic. This assertion is something that cannot be overlooked.

Their explanation is this: Having gone against international order, we put up a tough resistance to the U.S. pressure, and this led to an extreme aggravation of tension in the Korean Peninsula. This sort of assertion can only be compared to a sophistry that turns black and white.

Geographically, the Korean Peninsula is located at a strategic key point where the interests of some big powers are interwoven complicatedly and many historically impending issues still await solution.

The present nuclear war crisis in this peninsula is a global issue now because it involves very complex problems. Korean issue is neither inter-Korean relations nor a regional dispute within a country. The Korean issue originates in the U.S. occupation of south Korea, an issue that remains unsettled for over 60 years now, an impending international issue still awaiting solution today. The U.S. is the aggressor and south Korea is a colony under U.S. occupation. Therefore, the Korean issue is in essence a face-to-face controversy between our Republic, the non-aggressor, and the U.S., the aggressor.

The strategic design of the U.S. policy-makers is to invade our Republic, push the MDL up to the Rivers of Amnok and Tuman and build a bridgehead there to squeeze China and Russia and finally grab the Eurasian continent. In the eye of the U.S. strategists, our Republic and south Korea are no more than their advance posts for invading the Eurasian continent.

Our nation's enemy is the U.S. and those of the south Korean authorities are but executors of U.S. colonial policy and cheap cannon fodder.

Today in the Korean Peninsula goes on a do-or-die battle of nuclear confrontation between our Republic representing the justice and the U..S representing the injustice.

The criterion for humanity to distinguish justice from injustice is only one, and that will never change.

There has been no change in the revolutionary stand of our Party and the people to remain true to their international obligations as they go along the road of independence, Songun and socialism. And also nothing has ever changed in the U.S. policy for invasion of our Republic to expand the scope of its domination.

In the period of last Korean War the U.S. attempted to drop an A-bomb on the heads of the Korean people, but failed in their attempt. And in the post-war days, the U.S. began shipping in nuclear weapons to south Korea en masse.

To make the Korean Peninsula a nuke-free zone -- this the government of our Republic regarded as an issue vital for the future of the nation and urgent demand for world peace and security, and made all possible efforts to prevent the U.S. shipment of nuclear weapons into south Korea.

But the U.S. did quite the contrary. Soon south Korea turned into a biggest nuclear arsenal in the Far East and a U.S. advance post for aggression on the Asian continent.

If between two hostile countries one is nuclear power and the other not, danger of nuclear war will certainly grow further.

To foil the U.S. nuclear war machinations and defend Korean and Asian peace we had to take our own choice: to possess nuclear weapons.

Recall the 1960s when there was a big howling among the U.S. ruling circles as the news came about the missile deployment in Cuba.

A reasonable man should not forget his own misfortunes and should also not impose misfortunes on others. The final conclusion we have drawn is nuke for nuke.

Since the U.S. tries to deprive us of our nukes and overthrow our system, our Party had to put forward a new line on parallel growth in the economy and nuclear arms build-up and legalized this line by law.

Some say we use nukes for high-handed attitude in negotiation. No, that is not true. Whoever says so is a liar.

Our all-out confrontation with the U.S. is to put an end to half century long U.S. policy of hostility toward our Republic and its nuclear blackmail and achieve Korea’s national reunification.

The conclusion is clear.

The U.S. is to blame for the nuclear war crisis now sweeping the whole of Korean Peninsula.

Nuke for nuke -- this is our stand, and this stand is just.

The U.S. must cool its head and be sober-minded, and make a bold decision to remove the present nuclear crisis in the Korean Peninsula.

    He underlined the need to strengthen the people's security organ and the internal security forces as units defending the policies of the party, strong guardians of socialism, merciless striking forces and reliable protectors of the lives and properties of the people.
    The enemies are now afraid of our single-minded unity around the party more than anything else and running the whole gamut of desperate and base moves to destabilize and bring down our society, he noted.
    Now that the enemies are working hard to bar our people from trusting and following the party with pure conscience and fixed will and alienate the masses from it, it is important to intensify the struggle to frustrate their moves, he stressed.
    He called for devotedly defending the party, social system and people, decisively foiling the ideological and cultural poisoning and psychological warfare of the enemies and mercilessly wiping out the undesirable and hostile elements who have foolish day dreams.
    He underlined the need for the ministry and the internal security forces to make full combat preparations to annihilate the U.S. imperialists and south Korean puppet group keen to stifle the DPRK and to creditably fulfill their missions and duties in the sacred struggle to provide a firm guarantee by dint of arms and law for the implementation of the party's line on simultaneously pushing forward the economic construction and the building of nuclear force.
    Our Juche-oriented socialist country is invincible as the Korean People's Army and KPISF, the two revolutionary armed forces of the WPK, are firmly defending the security of the country and people, he said.
    He inspected Unit 2219 of KPISF that day.
    He gave the unit a pair of binoculars and an automatic rifle as gifts before having a photo session with its service personnel, expressing belief that they would safeguard the socialist system as firm as an iron wall.
    He went round the lecture room of the O Jung Hup political university, a messroom, soldiers' bed room, education room and wash-cum-bath room.
    He was satisfied to see good conditions in the bed room, praising the unit for keeping the wash-cum-bath room with a sauna attached neat and clean.
    At the education room he underscored the need to train the soldiers to be strong in idea and faith by intensifying politico-ideological education among them.
    Then he guided a drill of soldiers.
    After watching it, he highly appreciated their success in the drill and indicated tasks for bolstering up the combat capabilities of the unit.
    He expressed belief that just as the service personnel of KPISF have always did, the soldiers of the unit would display a do-or-die will and matchless courage and thus become iron shields and fierce tigers devotedly defending the party, social system and people in their struggle to decisively foil the enemies' moves to stifle the DPRK. -0-
