Russian Website on DPRK's Exercise of Its Right to Self-Defense
Pyongyang, January 16 (KCNA) -- An article titled "No one can take issue with right to self-defense" was posted on the Russian website Ruskaya Pravda on Jan. 12.

The article said that it is utterly groundless for Western countries to censure the DPRK for its successful H-bomb test.

It went on:

They claim that the DPRK's H-bomb test posed threat to its neighboring countries and is rendering the situation in the region and the rest of the world unstable.

However, the DPRK has neither invaded other countries nor assisted terrorists nor exported revolution for the past several decades.

The U.S. has persistently opposed the DPRK's access to nuclear weapons while closing its eyes to its allies' access to them as the latter's nuclear program is mainly aimed at beating back the former.

Under this situation any country with scientific and technological capabilities is mulling having access to nuclear weapons.

Countries cannot behave otherwise in the world where a jungle law prevails.

How can the West take issue with the DPRK's right to defend itself from aggressors, the legitimate right of any sovereign state?
