S. Korea's Decision to Deploy THAAD Launching Pads Denounced
Pyongyang, August 10 (KCNA) -- The south Korean authorities' moves for additional deployment of THAAD launching pads are the height of pro-U.S. sycophantic and traitorous act, Rodong Sinmun Thursday says in an article.

The south Korean authorities' decision to deploy THAAD launching pads is the outcome from the wicked intention to realize their ambition for stifling the DPRK, depending on outside forces, the article states, and goes on:

The south Korean authorities claim that the moves to deploy THAAD launching pads are their own "decision" to cope with the "nuclear and missile threat from the north," but it is an ostrich policy.

The decision for additional deployment was made by the U.S. pressure.

This is clearly evidenced by the fact that no sooner had the decision of the south Korean authorities been announced than the U.S. described it as "the best step" and expressed "high appreciation" for it while calling for early deployment.

It is as foolish an act as digging their own grave with their own hands that the south Korean authorities try to deploy THAAD launching pads as faithful running dogs of the U.S.

They should remember that if they persistently resort to the foolish and reckless moves, they would lose an opportunity for improving inter-Korean relations forever and everything would finish at the moment.
