Rodong Sinmun Slams U.S. Deceptive Theory of "Threat from North Korea"

Pyongyang, January 12 (KCNA) -- Shortly ago, Radio Sputnik of Russia raised a question why the U.S. is set to bolster its armed forces deployed in south Korea. It reported that a Russian expert commented that the U.S. is not expanding its military bases owing to the ever-growing threat from north Korea, the U.S. plans to turn south Korea into its overseas military base in a bid to contain geopolitical rival nations, and that the U.S. theory of "threat from north Korea" is no more than a pretext to justify its arms buildup".

Rodong Sinmun Tuesday says in a commentary in this regard:

The U.S. is attempting to meet its interests under the pretext of the "threat" from the DPRK.

It is a strategy of the U.S. successive ruling quarters to put the Asia-Pacific region under its control and make the world its unipolar world.

The U.S. regards that if it fails to put the Korean Peninsula under its control, it is impossible to meet its absolute interests in Northeast Asia, maintain the old international order worldwide and hold a leading position and play the role. Therefore, the U.S. works hard to turn south Korea into an important base for deploying military forces overseas in a bid to deter Russia and China and dominate Northeast Asia.

The U.S. is vociferating about the DPRK's nuclear and missile threat to cover up and justify such purpose.

The story of "threat" from the DPRK much-touted by the U.S. will bring to light its true colors as the chief culprit who has pushed the situation in the Asia-Pacific region centering on the Korean Peninsula to the brink of war.
