This is sophism of the Park group to justify its despicable act of depending on foreign forces and its policy of escalating confrontation with the fellow countrymen in the north, and tide over the ever-worsening ruling crisis.

The Park group is the chief culprit disturbing peace on the Korean peninsula as it is bringing the dark cloud of a war to hang over the peninsula while ceaselessly staging large-scale nuclear war exercises against the DPRK in collusion with foreign forces.

After taking office the Park group has launched nuclear war maneuvers against the north in south Korea in league with foreign forces. It has recently sent the puppet army units to the U.S. mainland for war maneuvers for aggression.

It has gone so reckless as to tighten conspiratorial nexus with foreign forces to invade the north under the pretext of the non-existent "nuclear threat from the north".

Shortly ago, military hooligans of south Korea, the U.S. and Japan were closeted with each other in Singapore under the pretext of "coping with the north's nukes" at which they talked about "close cooperation" and "sharing of information about nuclear threat".

No sooner had the high-level tripartite military talks ended than the puppet group invited U.S. military warmongers to south Korea to have a confab to extend again the transfer of the right to command the wartime operation, clamoring about "nuclear and missile threat from the north".

Shelving its own moves for confrontation with fellow countrymen in the north, the Park group is claiming that the prospect for peace on the Korean peninsula is becoming gloomy due to the "nuclear development and provocation of the north". This is a height of shamelessness.

Explicitly speaking, the DPRK's measure of bolstering nuclear deterrence is a very justifiable step for self-defence to protect the sovereignty of the country and nation from the U.S. nuclear war threat and achieve the prosperity of all generations to come.

Now that the U.S. keeps its forces in the south of the Korean peninsula and is posing a nuclear threat to the DPRK, and the south Korean puppet forces, the war servants of the U.S., are pushing the situation to the brink of war, while kowtowing to it, the DPRK will further bolster up its deterrence for self-defence.

No matter what others may say, the DPRK will counter the sword of the enemy with long sword and rifle with gun. This mode of counteraction for self-defence will never change.

The Park group would be well advised not to talk about the DPRK's nuclear development and "threat" but to remove the threat of a nuclear war against the north posed by foreign forces.
