A bylined commentary of the DPRK major paper Rodong Sinmun on Monday dismisses it as sophism aimed at justifying the criminal intentions to build missile shields and cover up their aggressive nature and danger.

The U.S. that rounded up the establishment of a missile shield in Europe is set about building missile shields in Northeast Asia and Mideast, the commentary says, and goes on:

This proves that the operation of building missile shields is going global.

In view of the U.S. missile defense system that is aimed to lay a siege to the powers in the Asia-Pacific region from the east and the west, it is no doubt a system for offensive to contain regional powers and hold military hegemony over them.

The U.S. tries to tire out its "potential rivals" of the region in arms race and hold a military hegemony over them.

It is an invariable strategic scenario of the U.S. to seize military superiority through the global MD establishment and uni-polarize the world. Herein lies the aggressive nature of its MD moves.

The U.S. moves clearly show once again who is the arch criminal disturbing the world peace and stability and stirring arms race.

It is preposterous for the U.S. to seek sinister intentions in charging the DPRK and Iran with posing threats.

The U.S. should see who its rival is and stop the foolish acts.
