Dangerous war scenario
Pyongyang, October 15 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today brands the new "guidelines for U.S.-Japan defence cooperation" as a scenario for war of aggression.
The paper says in a signed article:
The main purpose and mission of the new "guidelines" is to execute the U.S.-Japan military strategy of invading Asian countries and establishing domination over Asia, while the former one was aimed at "defence of Japan" and confrontation with the Soviet Union.
It is stipulated in the new "guidelines" that the U.S. and Japan shall intensify joint exercise and training for flexible and effective response in case of emergency. by this, they mean armed intervention and war.
The new "guidelines" says that the posture for quick reaction to a crisis around Japan shall be enhanced. By this, they mean rounding off war preparations and unleashing war of aggression.
In the new "guidelines," Japan is committed to offer facilities of the "self-defence forces," civil harbours and airports for U.S. military operations in case of emergency around Japan. By this, Japan promised to join in war.
The key point of the new "guidelines" is that U.S. troops and the Japan "self-defence forces" shall conduct joint operations in a crisis near Japan.
The new "guidelines" is aimed at allowing and legitimating any joint military actions of the U.S. forces and the "SDF" any time and anywhere.
The first target of the new "guidelines" is the DPRK.
The adoption of the new war scenario shows that U.S.-Japan military aggression on Asia is coming true.
