Rodong Sinmun Thursday says this in a bylined article.

The Korean nation, strong in independent spirit and patriotism, was forced to ink a treaty for national ruin and had the whole country lost to the Japanese imperialists more than a hundred years ago as it failed to build up strong arms capable of protecting its sovereignty, the article notes, and goes on:

A moment is enough for ruining the country but it takes a thousand years to rebuild it. The same is the case with the sovereignty. This is a bitter lesson taught by history.

The same can be said of the present situation.

There has never been peace on the Korean Peninsula for over six decades of national division forced by foreign forces.

However, wars have been deterred under such grave situation and provokers failed to realize their attempts for aggression.

This was because the invincible Songun politics of the DPRK has firmly protected the peace on this land.

The matchless military muscle of the DPRK put an end to the history of distress the nation suffered for it was weak and this convinced the Koreans that they can successfully achieve durable peace of the country and national reunification.

Songun politics is matchless strength for resolutely foiling the anti-DPRK war hysteria of the U.S. imperialists and their stooges.

The DPRK has no option but to use diversified precision nuclear strike means of Korean style as the U.S. imperialists are working hard to invade it with nukes.

Eternal is the history of victory of the army and people of the DPRK thanks to the great Songun politics, the article concludes.
