Rodong Sinmun Tuesday says in a signed commentary in this regard:

The sub-critical nuclear test glaringly disclosed the falsity and hypocrisy of the plan for realizing a "world without nuclear weapons" much touted by the Obama Administration.

The Obama Administration which made its emergence early last year put forward the plan for realizing a "world without nuclear weapons" a few months after taking office, but this was nothing but a smokescreen to conceal the U.S. ambition to dominate the world by relying on nuclear weapons and deceive the world people.

The responsibility for the nuclear threat and the danger of the nuclear war growing worldwide entirely rests with the U.S.

The U.S. has overtly and covertly egged forces following it and its allies on to develop nuclear weapons while shutting eyes to them. And it has conducted the sub-critical nuclear tests one after another and manufactured new nuclear weapons. It is, therefore, ludicrous for it to talk about "nuclear disarmament" and "nuclear non-proliferation."

The "threat" from someone oft-repeated by the U.S. while openly conducting sub-critical nuclear tests and getting desperate in developing new-type nuclear weapons is nothing but sheer sophism.

What is evident is that the U.S. is the real poser of nuclear threat and the DPRK and other anti-imperialist independent countries are its victims.

The U.S. asserts that it is not a crime for aggression states like it to possess nuclear weapons and nuclear test conducted by them are not problematic while terming even the peaceful nuclear activities of the anti-imperialist independent countries unpardonable "crimes". This is a brigandish logic. Such absurd logic can never work in the world today.

The U.S. would be well advised to stop deceiving the world and drop the criminal nuclear ambition.
