Juha Kieksy, chairman of the Finnish National Committee for the Study of the Juche Idea, said this in an article titled "U.S. is to blame for the tension on the Korean Peninsula" contributed to Tyokansan Sanomat, organ of the Communist Workers' Party of Finland for the Peace and Socialism, on May 31.

The DPRK has taken tougher counteractions against the evermore pronounced moves of the U.S. to make military provocations and stage a racket for pressure this year, the article said, and went on:

The U.S. and its satellite forces are focusing all efforts on their racket to impose sanctions on and stifle the DPRK, an independent country, with an aim at stamping out the latter.

The U.S. has kicked off the smear human rights campaign against the DPRK by instigating the south Korean authorities while resorting to the military threat to the DPRK.

The U.S. military threats and sanctions will never deter the DPRK from advancing along the road of independence.

It is very just that the DPRK has taken a measure of bolstering its military capacity in every way and dynamically pushed forward economic construction to stand firm against all sorts of rackets of the U.S. to stifle it.

The DPRK, which loves peace and aspires after independence, will not yield to the imperialists' pressure nor give up socialism, though it hopes for socialist construction in a peaceful environment.
