Rodong Sinmun Denounces U.S. as Chief Culprit Threatening Peace on Korean Peninsula
Pyongyang, November 6 (KCNA) -- The U.S. is entirely to blame for the dangerous situation on the Korean Peninsula in which the peace is threatened and a nuclear war is possible, says Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in an article.

It goes on:

The spokesman for the U.S. State Department recently claimed the U.S. remains unchanged in its stand that north Korea should take the denuclearization measure beforehand in order to have the talks resumed, adding the U.S. will keep putting pressure upon the DPRK to live up to the international commitments. The U.S. secretary of State earlier said that the U.S. has the intent to conclude a non-aggression treaty with the DPRK if the U.S. preconditions are resolved while speaking loudly of ensuring peace on the peninsula.

The U.S. is the chief culprit threatening the DPRK with the use of military force and escalating the tensions on the peninsula with war drills.

The war drills waged by the hostile forces fell short of developing into a real war the credit of which entirely goes to the persevering efforts made by the DPRK exercising every possible restraint in order to protect peace and stability in the region.

The true intention of hostile forces is to raise unacceptable issues as preconditions for dialogue, render the situation on the peninsula tense at any cost and ignite a war under the pretext of the DPRK's counteraction against it.

Clear is the U.S. aim in calling on the DPRK to take "advanced step" and "fulfill international commitment" while raising the non-aggression issue against its will.

Its demand is the DPRK abandonment of "nuclear program" first.

To urge the DPRK to scrap "nuclear program" first is to urge it lay down arms.

It is the consistent stand of the DPRK to realize the peace on the peninsula through dialogue and negotiations, but the DPRK will never beg for this.

It is foolish for the U.S. to hope for the DPRK's scrapping of "nuclear program" first.

As long as the U.S. nuclear blackmail is continued, the DPRK's war deterrence will be increased in every way.
