This suggests that the U.S. moves to establish MD reached a new grave phase.

What should not be overlooked is that the U.S. asserts the MD is targeted against the DPRK and Iran, saying that these countries are pushing ahead with a plan for developing inter-continental missiles capable of reaching even to the U.S. mainland.

It is no more than an excuse for the U.S. to insist that MD is aimed at coping with their missile attacks.

The U.S. moves to build a missile shield are designed to put the world within the range of its missile attack and strike other countries as it pleases.

The U.S. MD makes clearer the structure of pressurizing the Eurasian Continent from both the east and the west.

It seeks to plug into its MD the member states of NATO in Europe, Japan and Australia in Asia-Pacific, Israel in the Mideast, etc.

The keynote of the U.S. strategy for world supremacy since the demise of the Cold War era is to prevent the emergence of the forces that may challenge it.

It is the view of the U.S. that there are powers on the Eurasian Continent likely to challenge it and their potentials are growing stronger more rapidly than expected in recent years.

With this situation in view, the U.S. seeks to steadily expand and round off the MD in a bid to disable other powers' capability of nuclear retaliation and make its military edge unchallenged.

It is also its calculation that this is also good for plugging them into an arms race and making their strength exhausted.

This is evidenced by the facts that the U.S. spent a huge amount of money for MD every year and is contemplating drawing more countries into MD under the pretexts of "joint defense" and "joint research" and is planning to conduct a test for intercepting three medium- and short-range ballistic missiles and two cruise missiles simultaneously.

The U.S. moves for unchallenged MD are fraught with the potential danger of escalating international tensions and sparking off an arms race among countries and thereby starting a new Cold War.

The U.S. is the arch criminal wrecking global peace and stability and sparking off an arms race.
