Rodong Sinmun Raps Japan's Frantic Arms Buildup

Pyongyang, September 2 (KCNA) -- Of late, the Japanese government decided to allot the largest-ever 51.6 billion U.S. dollars to the national defence budget for fiscal 2017. Most of this fabulous budget will go to upgrading PAC-3, developing SM-3 Block 2A and purchasing F-35s. Rodong Sinmun Friday in a commentary says: The Japanese reactionaries justify their arms buildup under the pretext of coping up with the ballistic rocket "threat" of the DPRK, but it is sheer sophism. Japan's ulterior aim is to become a military giant under the pretext of the DPRK's "threat" and launch overseas invasion any moment with forces equipped with modern weapons. What should not be overlooked is the fact that Japan singled out the DPRK as the first target of its aggression. The Japanese reactionaries are mulling invading Korea and advancing into the continent with it as a springboard just as they did in the last century. Korea is no longer what it used to be in the past when its people were subject to colonial slavery for the lack of even matchlocks to speak of. The DPRK has emerged as a military power with tremendous military muscle. This is what it would like to warn the Japanese reactionaries of. For Japan to stage a comeback to Korea would lead it to destruction. |
