Japan's Alarming Military Spending under Fire
Pyongyang, September 14 (KCNA) -- The Defense Ministry of Japan will increase the defense budget for next year 3 percent over this year's, according to recent foreign press reports, This will be the biggest in 22 years.

Rodong Sinmun Saturday observes in a commentary in this regard:

This fact goes to prove that the Japanese reactionaries are working with blood-shot eyes to turn Japan into a military giant and launch reinvasion.

The Japanese warlike forces' plan to spend exorbitant amount of funds for defense are a part of the moves to make Japan veer to the Right and realize militarization.

The Japanese reactionaries have so far spent a huge amount of funds as military expenditure to equip the "Self-Defense Forces" with modern military hardware and latest war technology. As a result, the SDF emerged dangerous aggression forces capable of conducting military operations in any part of the world.

These days the Japanese reactionaries spend a stupendous amount of funds for the introduction of Global Hawk drones, F-35s and other fighters.

Some time ago, Japan launched an escort ship Izumo carrying copters to beef up the Maritime Self-Defense Force.

The reactionaries do not hide their plan to introduce new transport plane Osprey into the SDF in 2015. It will spend about 100 million yen for its research only.

All these moves for arms buildup are not of defensive nature but for aggression from A to Z. Herein lie the gravity and danger of the moves.

They would be well advised to behave themselves, mindful that reinvasion is bound to lead to doom.
