Powerful military capabilities provide a sure guarantee for resolutely foiling the imperialists' aggression moves, protecting the sovereignty of the country and dignity of the nation and triumphantly advancing the revolution and construction, the article notes, and goes on:

This is the truth proved by the stern trials of history. It is thanks to the strong might for self-defence and war deterrence that the DPRK is protecting the country's sovereignty and peace and fully displaying the dignity of the nation, standing firm against the U.S. This helped the DPRK smash all the aggression moves of enemies and defend the country's sovereignty and dignity and peace.

Physical strength, powerful war deterrence only can guarantee durable peace. Peace can never be protected by words as long as one party is carrying a dagger in its belt to invade the other party.

It is the firm determination of the Workers' Party and government of the DPRK to firmly defend the sovereignty and peace of the country and dignity of the nation by dint of powerful strength for self-defence under the situation where the dark clouds of a nuclear war against the DPRK are persistently hanging over the Korean Peninsula.

The Korean people will always advance along the road of Songun no matter what others may say and how the situation may change.
