Rodong Sinmun Thursday says this in a bylined article.

The anti-imperialist struggle is the essential requirement for accomplishing the cause of global independence and the advance and victory of popular masses' cause of independence hinge on the successes of the anti-imperialist struggle, the article says, and goes on:

The popular masses' cause of independence is the noble revolutionary cause of terminating aggression and war, domination and subjugation and realizing independence of the popular masses.

The people aspiring after independence and peace should clearly see through the reactionary nature and wickedness of imperialism and hold high the banner of the anti-imperialist struggle.

It is a prerequisite to the anti-imperialist struggle and a primary requirement for global independence to discard illusion and horror about imperialism.

If the people are well aware of the position and weakness of imperialism finding itself in a more bottomless predicament, they will not harbor any illusion and fear of it.

The victory in the cause of global independence depends on the unity of the anti-imperialist independent countries. Now that the imperialists perpetrate aggression and war as allied forces, it is an essential task of the times for ensuring the victory in the cause of global independence for all the anti-imperialist independent forces to get united in their struggle.

Boosting the capability for self-defence provides a sure guarantee for encouraging the people to turn out in the anti-imperialist struggle with confidence and successfully accelerate the cause of global independence.

The military strength constitutes the most important of the national power. If they emerge victorious on the military front, they can win on all fronts.

The DPRK is doing everything as it is determined and pushing forward every affair, guided by its grit, not bound to anything, proceeding from its steadfast independent stand in politics. This is because it has powerful military muscle and ever-victorious strategy and tactics.
