Rodong Sinmun Monday in a signed commentary observes:

Lurking behind this is the sinister intention of the Japanese reactionaries to cover up the truth of their nuclear issue under the pretext of "nuclear threat" and go nuclear behind the scene at any cost.

The Japanese reactionaries have ceaselessly pushed ahead with nuclear weaponization behind the curtain of the "three non-nuclear principles".

The nuclear weaponization is the invariable ambition of Japan. The Japanese reactionaries regard that Japan sustained a defeat in the Second World War because its military power was weak. So, they seek to realize the wild ambition of militarism after taking revenge for Japan's defeat by going nuclear at any cost. To this end, they have systematically studied and developed nuclear-related technology and facilities and steadily stockpiled plutonium.

Now Japan possesses plutonium enough to make thousands of nukes. Not content with this, it keeps stockpiling nuclear materials. It has laid all material and technical foundations for making and possessing lots of nukes in a moment. The danger of Japan's nuclear weaponization is becoming a reality. It is proven with added clarity by the scope of operation of the Japan "Self-Defense Forces" which is expanding worldwide, going beyond the vicinity of Japan.

Going nuclear will lead Japan to self-destruction. It had better drop its reckless nuclear ambition, well aware of this.
