This is nothing but a cunning plot to divert to the DPRK the international criticism of the U.S., the biggest nuclear possessor and proliferater, says Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in an article.

The article goes on:

Claiming that in order to guarantee global peace and security it is necessary to prevent nuclear threat and nuclear proliferation, the U.S. is talking volumes as if it were concerned about it. However, the U.S. cannot cover up its real intention.

The U.S. tries to maintain the NPT. It is by no means because it hopes for the world without nuclear weapons.

It feels uneasy about the fact that its nuclear upper-hand would come to an end no matter how many nuclear weapons it has stockpiled if the NPT is scrapped.

Due to the U.S. deceptive and unfair nuclear policy and ceaseless nuclear blackmails those afflicted countries intend to destroy the nuclear upper-hand on which the U.S. depends and cancel NPT.

And the U.S. moves for updating nuclear weapons make other nuclear weapons states put spurs to updating their nuclear weapons.

The U.S. is, indeed, the root cause of nuclear disaster on the globe.

The DPRK will further bolster up war deterrence no matter how deceptively the U.S. is talking about the "world without nuclear weapons".
