S. Korean Authorities' Sycophancy to U.S. and Japan under Fire: Rodong Sinmun

Pyongyang, September 3 (KCNA) -- Days ago, the south Korean chief executive discussed "cooperation and counteraction" over "the north's nuke and missile provocation" through telephone talks with Japanese Prime Minister Abe and, on the other hand, he showed a disposition to cooperate with the U.S., saying that he "thanked" the U.S. for its "tough sanctions and pressure" against the north, at a confab with a delegation of members of the U.S. House of Representatives on a visit to south Korea. The first puppet vice-minister of Foreign Affairs of south Korea also flew to the U.S. and asked his master to boost cooperation and "alliance" over the "north's nuclear issue".

Rodong Sinmun in a commentary Sunday terms these facts unforgivable pro-U.S. and pro-Japanese acts. It goes on:

Today the DPRK's strategic position has undergone a radical change and so do the international relations of power. Therefore, the south Korean authorities should properly understand that their actions of depending on outsiders will only precipitate their ruin.

Whoever provokes us and tries to block our advance will not be spared severe punishment.

It is a lesson drawn again by our army and people that they have to treat with action, not with words, the hostile forces hell-bent on confrontation, being engrossed in a pipedream despite our repeated warnings.

The south Korean authorities had better not act rashly, bearing in mind that they might get a by-blow for a series of their involvements in confabs with the U.S. and Japanese masters to do harm to the DPRK.
