DPRK's Self-defensive Deterrent Is Treasure Common to Nation: Rodong Sinmun
Pyongyang, June 21 (KCNA) -- The DPRK's self-defensive deterrent is the iron-shield for firmly protecting peace and security of the country from aggression of the enemies and reliably defending the destiny of the entire nation, Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says in an article.

It is sure guarantee for the independent reunification of the country and a symbol of the dignity and prosperity of the nation, the article states, and goes on:

It is the bitter lesson taught by history and reality that strong army guarantees peace of the country and security of the nation.

The Korean nation could not but be forced to suffer the colonial slavery by the outside forces as it had no strong army. The distress-torn history of the Korean nation was not the thing of bygone days.

Now those countries and nations, who gave up defending themselves, being obedient to the U.S. brigandish demand for disarming, are facing very miserable fate.

However, the DPRK resolutely took the toughest counteraction against the U.S. arbitrary military threats to clearly prove that the American style bravado cajoling weak countries without nukes only can never work on this land.

The destiny of the nation can be protected only by strong weapons and the wide avenue to national reunification will be opened by the might of the Songun politics. The Korean nation has fully experienced this principle through reality.

The DPRK's self-defensive deterrent displaying the dignity and spirit of the nation and ensuring the prospect for peace and reunification is, indeed, a precious wealth common to the nation that should be handed down through generations.
