U.S. Strategy to Dominate Asia-Pacific under Fire
Pyongyang, March 19 (KCNA) -- The U.S. is working hard to act ruler of Asia-Pacific in this century.

Taking advantage of the changing world political structure and balance of forces, the U.S. is openly seeking to dominate the world in this strategic area while styling itself the "only superpower".

Obama, during his trips to various Asian countries in April last year, was busy carrying out the Asia-Pacific strategy aimed at putting the region under the U.S. control.

In Japan he formally declared that the issue of the island disputed between China and Japan came within the sphere of application of the U.S.-Japan security pact, confirming that it was quite natural for the U.S. forces to intervene in case of military conflict between China and Japan and backing Japan's willingness to exercise the "right to collective self-defense."

The U.S. didn't conceal its scenario to put its allies under its control and encircle and contain its rivals in Eurasia by indefinitely extending the transfer of the wartime operation control.

Entering this year, the U.S. regional strategy has entered the phase of full-fledged implementation.

Early in February the Obama administration announced a new "national security strategy" to be carried out in the two years to come, the remaining tenure of its office.

The keynote of the strategy calling for "redoubled efforts for carrying out rebalancing policy" toward Asia-Pacific is to carry out the regional policy with its further bolstered military muscle to meet the main interests of the U.S.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry at a hearing of the International Relations Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives for examining the budget plan for fiscal 2016 held on Feb. 25 said that a budget amounting to 1.4 billion dollars was shaped pursuant to the pivot to Asia policy of the present U.S. administration.

The U.S. Department of Defense clarified that it would carry out a construction plan in the region, the biggest-ever since the end of World War II, as part of the enforcement of the pivot to Asia-Pacific policy.

According to it, projects for expanding the large-scale U.S. military bases will be carried out on Guam and in Phyongthaek of south Korea and Iwakuni and Okinawa of Japan.

The U.S. keeps 60 percent of its naval force in the region on a permanent basis and deployed more than 300 warships in Pacific or 60 percent of its warships.

The U.S. Department of Defense decided to spend 8.1 billion dollars for missile defense in 2016.

Such evermore undisguised arms buildup of the U.S. is part of the strategic steps being taken by the Obama administration to gain success in its hegemonic strategy at any cost before the end of its office as it set its pivot to Asia policy as a primary goal of its foreign policy.

The U.S. seeks a way for carrying out its aggressive Asia-Pacific strategy on the Korean peninsula.

The U.S. scenario to escalate the tension on the peninsula is part of its strategy to maintain and increase its military edge in Asia-Pacific and, furthermore, dominate the world.

The U.S. often cites "nuclear threat" from the DPRK and "its provocation" as a trite pretext for covering up the nature of its strategy for dominating Asia-Pacific and justifying it.

Vincent Stewart, director of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, pinpointed the DPRK and China as the countries "posing biggest threat" in Asia-Pacific and groundlessly asserted that the nukes and missiles of the DPRK, in particular, pose serious "threat" to the U.S. and its allies.

The U.S. in its "quadrennial defense strategy review report" regarded the DPRK as the "worst foe" and declared its plan to "achieve a decisive victory" over the latter by force of arms. It openly revealed its brigandish wild ambition not to tolerate the ideology and social system of the DPRK, crying out for carrying out the "strategy for positively ratcheting up pressure on it," "executing a limited war and mapping out a plan for it" and the like.

At the beginning of the year, Obama declared "additional sanctions" against the DPRK as a "presidential executive order" and cried out for "toppling" the DPRK as early as possible.

The U.S. administration made it a policy to carry out the strategy seeking "collapse" of the DPRK, which is aimed to stamp out the ideology, system and sovereignty of the latter by using all levers such as "nukes," "human rights campaign," "cyber attack" and "freedom of expression."

Heavyweights of the U.S. political camp and its military bosses are getting desperate in the moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK, ballyhooing about re-listing the DPRK as "a sponsor of terrorism" and slapping "toughest additional sanctions" against it.

The U.S. and south Korea are staging Foal Eagle war games throughout south Korea in the wake of Key Resolve aimed at "occupying Pyongyang."

All north-targeted war scenarios worked out by the U.S. and the south Korean puppet warmongers such as the plan for jointly coping with local war and tailored deterrence strategy have been applied to the war drills.

What the U.S. seeks in its war exercises for invading the DPRK is to put the whole of the Korean peninsula, a strategically important region, under its control and thus dominate the world, no matter what codename and pretext it uses for staging them.

The U.S. aggressive strategy for dominating Asia-Pacific can never work on the DPRK.

The national power and military muscle of the DPRK, a guardian of the Korean nation and peace on the Korean peninsula, can never be compared with those in the 1950s.

The DPRK will never pardon the desperate war moves of the U.S. seeking to turn the peninsula into a theater for power scramble and a theatre of war which will cause the extermination of the Korean nation but will fight a final decisive battle in the showdown with the U.S. in the 21st century, not on the peninsula but in the U.S. mainland.

If any form of war, whether it is a local war or total war or a nuclear war, breaks out due to the arrogant and misjudged scenario of the White House to ignite a new world war on the Korean peninsula, the DPRK will never miss the chance and lead it to a great war for national reunification to put an end to the U.S. history of aggression.
