Rodong Sinmun Tuesday observes in a bylined commentary in this regard:

It is a stereotyped method of Japan to trumpet about "ensuring peace and security" whenever an opportunity presents itself.

"Peace" touted by the Japanese reactionaries is a version of a war scenario, the commentary notes, and goes on:

An ulterior purpose is sought by Japan's noisy trumpeting about its participation in "UN peace-keeping activities" as it has long abused the signboard of "peace".

As a matter of fact, Japan has restored its right to belligerency and right to participate in a war though it had been deprived of them as a defeated state. However, a wartime system has been established there and almost all legal and institutional machines, once impediments to arms race and overseas military operations, were removed.

Japan has converted its SDF into full-fledged armed forces of offensive nature. It has become, therefore, an essential requirement for launching reinvasion to ensure the right to overseas military operation.

Japan is becoming so zealously in taking part in "UN peace-keeping activities" neither at the request of someone nor for contributing to peace-keeping activities.

It is prompted by its wild ambition for overseas expansion from A to Z. It is the ulterior design of the Japanese reactionaries to let the SDF accumulate experience in actual battles and lay a springboard for reinvasion through persistent overseas troops dispatch in a bid to spark off a war for reinvasion with ease.

It is natural for the world community to be vigilant against Japan's zealously involvement in "UN peace-keeping activities" under the signboard of "peace" after being revived and rearmed with the U.S. backing.

Only self-destruction awaits the Japanese reactionaries now aboard a militarist chariot just as the Japanese imperialists suffered a defeat while going frantic with aggression and war under the signboard of "peace".
