Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in an article says in this regard:

Not only surrounding countries but its close allies are expressing deep concern over these acts of Japan. Such behavior of Japan is an inevitable product in the course of veering to the right of the Japanese political circles where descendants of the war criminals are going rampant.

Their way of thinking extremely swaying to the right is to revive Japan in the era of imperialism stained with aggression and war.

Shortly ago, Japan's minister of Defense openly called for increasing combined capabilities to cope with "missile attack" from the DPRK, making it an established fact. The "Self-Defense Forces" have been strengthened both in quantity and quality as the means for realizing the militarist ambition under the fictitious pretext of "threat" touted by the Japanese reactionaries.

What should be specially pointed out is that the SDF has turned into forces for offensive warfare and aggression.

Japan has defined overseas military operations as the one of basic tasks of SDF by craftily abusing the change of the international situation. Now "defense" put up by SDF in its early years became a deceptive one.

The militarized economy of Japan helps realize the ambition of the militarists for reinvasion.

The Japanese reactionaries have thrown away without hesitation even the "three principles of arms export" they put up as a disguise of "pacifist state" to meet their greed for reinvasion.

Japan's reinvasion is a matter of time as it is running headlong into militarization through nexus of political circles, the military and munitions enterprises.
