In the three-year-long Fatherland Liberation War, the young Korean People's Army which was founded as a regular army only three years ago under the leadership of President Kim Il Sung shattered the myth of U.S. imperialists' "mightiness" which had been formed for 100-odd years and brought about the beginning of their downhill turn.

The notorious generals of the U.S. who had rendered "distinguished military services" and "ever-victorious" divisions suffered a disastrous defeat in the war.

In the post-war period, too, the Korean army and people defended the dignity of the nation and the sovereignty of the country, thoroughly frustrating the vicious and persistent war maneuvers of the U.S. imperialists at each step.

In January 1968 when the U.S. imperialists brought huge amounts of armed forces in the areas near the DPRK, threatening to make a "reprisal" with the armed spy ship "Pueblo" incident as a pretext, and openly tried to start an armed invasion, the DPRK solemnly declared that it would return retaliation for the "retaliation" of the U.S. and all-out war for all-out war.

The U.S. imperialists who had resorted to every conceivable means for nearly a year bent their knees before the Korean people again.

After then, they had persistently perpetrated such provocations as the large spy plane "EC-121" incident and "Panmunjom incident" only to sustain miserable defeats.

Recently the United States fabricated a "presidential statement" and "resolution on sanctions" of UNSC, taking issue with the launch of a peaceful artificial satellite and the second nuclear test of the DPRK. This time, too, the revolutionary armed force of the DPRK warned that it would mount an unpredictable and unavoidable annihilating blow to the provokers.
