The indefinite extension of the transfer of the right to OPECON is an act of treachery as it fully revealed the intention of the present south Korean authorities to allow the U.S. to keep its forces in south Korea indefinitely, strengthen its colonial rule over south Korea and more frantically pursue confrontation with fellow countrymen and war moves against the north, utterly indifferent to the national dignity and self-esteem.

Military sovereignty is one of the most important criteria in exercising the sovereignty of the nation and if a country is increasingly dependent on other country in military affairs, it is bound to be accompanied by political subjugation.

The prerogative of the supreme command over the army in south Korea has been exercised by the U.S., pursuant to brigandish military treaties forced on it by Washington since the puppet army came into being as a colonial mercenary army.

South Korean people have struggled for the transfer of the prerogative for a long period. It was expected to take it over till 2012. But it was extended till 2015 due to the treacherous act of traitor Lee Myung Bak, and the present puppet regime did not hesitate to extend it beyond 2020.

After leaving the right to OPECON, the core of the military sovereignty, to the tender mercy of foreign forces, the puppet forces are claiming that they would push forward the transfer while talking about "nuclear and missile threat of the north", a mockery of the south Koreans.

The U.S. forces in south Korea have established various systems and procedures to exercise the right to OPECON. The U.S. made it a system to hold annual security consultative meeting and military committee meeting and interfere in military policies of south Korea as administrative means to shape military policies and strategies and settle various other practical issues related to the Korean Peninsula.

It is meeting its military demands through annual security consultative meeting and, at the same time, putting the south Korean army under its total control through the "Combined Forces Command" and hurling the puppet army into U.S. military operations overseas.

The puppet forces are depending on the U.S. forces in south Korea for all military strategy information and 70 percent of tactical information and the U.S. is providing most of weapons to south Korea.

The puppet forces have to purchase U.S.-made weapons worth an astronomic amount of dollars in return for extending the transfer of the right to OPECON indefinitely while the south Korean people have to cover a fabulous amount of defense expenditure every year, bound to the right to OPECON.

The indefinite extension of the transfer of the right to OPECON convince once again all Koreans that the present south Korean authorities have no iota of independent idea and they are no more than colonial stooges staking their fate on foreign forces.

They should cancel at once the extension of the transfer.
