US to Blame for Nuclear Threat and Proliferation
Pyongyang, December 13 (KCNA) -- Voices calling for withdrawal of nuclear weapons is now ringing out more loudly than ever before in the Western European countries where lots of U.S. nukes have been deployed, says Minju Joson Sunday in a signed commentary.

Nuclear disarmament is one of the requirements of the times and an international trend, it notes, and goes on:

Nevertheless, the U.S. has made desperate efforts to keep the deployed nuclear weapons at any cost, claiming that the existence of about 200 B61 thermal nuclear bombs deployed by it in such Western European countries as Italy, Belgium, Germany and Netherlands, is important for the security of NATO and they would deter its member nations from developing their own nuclear weapons.

This goes to prove that though the U.S. pays lip-service to "nuclear disarmament", it is nothing but hypocrisy and the U.S. is an arch criminal of nuclear threat and proliferation.

It is the U.S. invariable policy and strategic goal to contain other big powers and threaten, blackmail and put under its control the anti-imperialist independent countries with an unchallenged nuclear edge and thus realize its ambition for world supremacy.

The U.S. is keen on threatening and blackmailing other countries with nukes and many other weapons of mass destruction it deployed in different parts of the world. It is giving spurs to modernization of nuclear weapons while squandering a huge amount of money under the pretext of coping with "nuclear threat" from someone given that it is left with no justification to increase nuclear armed forces after the end of the Cold War.

The world is beset with danger of a new nuclear arms race and nuclear confrontation, its peace and security being exposed to grave threat, owing to the U.S. frantic arms expansion and nuclear war moves.

Peace can never settle in this land as long as the U.S. nuclear weapons are left intact. This is the unanimous assertion of the peaceloving people of the world including those countries in the European region and the demand of the times.

The U.S. would be well advised to stop at once the anachronistic and anti-peace nuclear war moves as required by the international community calling for the nuclear disarmament and the dismantlement of nuclear weapons.
