The U.S. Must Not Forget Disgraceful Defeat of the Past

 

70-odd years have passed since the 1950s when the U.S. brought ravages of war to this land.

The bygone days and today’s reality show that the U.S. imperialism is fated to be a loser in the DPRK-U.S. showdown from the historical point of view and that humankind is the same as before in its ardent aspiration for safeguarding justice and truth.

Today, the international society is raising its voices in denunciation of the reckless behavior of the U.S. which clings to its indiscreet hostile policy towards the DPRK in an attempt to put the situation on the Korean peninsula again into a vicious cycle of tension. They are also raising their voices in support of the righteous stand and measures of the Party and the government of our Republic to safeguard state sovereignty, national dignity and to ensure peace and security of the Korean peninsula and the region.

Prestigious Russian experts on international affairs, including researchers of the Institute of Oriental Studies and the Institute of Far East of the Russian Academy of Sciences branded the U.S. as the mastermind of disturbing stability on the Korean peninsula, which has posed a nuclear threat to the DPRK since the 1950s.

Saying that the U.S. wild ambition for world hegemony has not changed a bit even after long years, they underlined the fact that the U.S. is increasing military tension on the Korean peninsula by continuously bringing in many troops and ultra-modern weapons to south Korea, and that it is making desperate efforts to create Asian version of NATO.

They also asserted that this shows that lasting peace on Earth cannot be ensured as long as the U.S. imperialism exists and that only military build- up is the best way to defend peace and security.

The Korean War Veterans’ Council, the Russia-Korea Friendship Association and other social organizations, through their interviews and statements, took the U.S. to task for its dangerous moves of putting military threats, which is the provoker of the Korean War in the past and the main culprit of increasing tension on the Korean peninsula today.

The Korean War Veterans’ Council of Russia issued the following statement.

The U.S. and south Korean trigger-happy elements are building up tension on the Korean peninsula, oblivious of the historic lesson learnt 72 years ago. Lasting peace and stability can never be ensured as long as imperialism remains on Earth. We condemn the U.S. for its attempt to bring dark clouds of a new war while being engrossed in arms-build up in defiance of peaceful proposals from the DPRK.

Voices ringing out from different circles of Russia are due condemnation of the U.S. which is aggravating the situation on the Korean peninsula while remaining unchanged in its policy of isolating and putting pressure on the DPRK, without drawing on the lessons from its bitter defeat in the last century.

If the U.S. forgets even for a single moment about its disgraceful defeat it had suffered in the past history of DPRK-U.S. showdown, it will only speed up its miserable downfall.
