THAAD Deployment Will Bring Catastrophic Disaster to S. Korea: Spokesman for NPCK
Pyongyang, March 9 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the National Peace Committee of Korea (NPCK) released a statement on Thursday in denunciation of the south Korean puppet group of traitors for persistently enforcing the early deployment of THAAD despite the strong opposition and protest at home and abroad.

The statement said that the puppet group is pressing for the deployment of THAAD, yielding to the gangster-like demand of its U.S. master, adding it is an unpardonable act of reducing south Korea into an permanent nuclear war advanced base for the U.S. in realizing its strategy for dominating Asia-Pacific, war theatre of big powers and a base to kill the fellow countrymen and endangering the peace and security on the Korean peninsula and in the region.

It went on:

The puppet forces claim that THAAD deployment is a "security measure to cope with the north's missile threat" even though they are clearly aware that not only THAAD but any other interception system will be useless in the face of the might of the ultra-modern ballistic rockets of the DPRK. Their rhetoric is just sheer sophism to deceive the public at home and abroad.

The U.S. persistent moves to deploy THAAD in south Korea is a product of planned scenario to inveigle the south Korean puppet forces into the global missile defense system targeting big powers around Korea.

The puppet forces' reckless THAAD deployment farce in utter disregard of the destiny of the nation renders the situation on the Korean peninsula and in the region all the more grave and makes the crisis of a nuclear war a reality with each passing day.

It is quite natural that countries around Korea are expressing deep concern about THAAD deployment and are taking all-round countermeasures in strong protest against it.

The puppet forces will be made to face stern punishment and to pay a dear price as they threaten the security and interests of the DPRK and neighboring countries in active pursuance of the U.S. ambition for aggression, in defiance of the repeated warnings at home and abroad.

The puppet forces of traitors will face stronger protest and retaliatory measures at home and abroad for their frantic moves for THAAD deployment as war servants of the U.S., and chaos and damage to be entailed by it will all be imposed upon the south Korean people.
