DPRK's Measures for Bolstering up Nuclear Deterrence Is Legitimate: Rodong Sinmun
Pyongyang, November 1 (KCNA) -- U.S. major media and experts on the Korean affairs are strongly asserting that the military threat by Trump's administration is making the DPRK confident of the validity of its accession to nuclear weapons.

Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says that it goes to prove that the U.S. is, indeed, the offender, arch criminal escalating tension on the Korean Peninsula and harasser of peace and it is just that the DPRK has rapidly developed the nuclear force under the line of simultaneously developing the two fronts.

The commentary says that the reality proved that the line of simultaneously pushing forward the economic construction and the building of nuclear force advanced by the Workers' Party of Korea is the most just one and the DPRK's option for rapidly bolstering up the nuclear force was entirely right.

It goes on:

If the DPRK had failed in having access to the war deterrent and capability of retaliatory strike like some countries and had not bolstered up them in quality and quantity, the country's sovereignty and national dignity would have been mercilessly violated as the target of the U.S. aggression.

Now the Trump's group are driving the situation on the Korean peninsula to the brink of a war while making such muscle-flexing as deploying nuclear strategic assets including nuclear carrier Ronald Reagan in south Korea and its vicinity but they will get nothing but international denunciation, shame and ruin.

It has become clearer who is a harasser of peace and an assailant of threat. Owing to the U.S., there is constant danger of a nuclear war on the Korean peninsula and peace and security is always at peril.

As long as the U.S. moves for stifling the DPRK continue, the latter will hold fast to the line of simultaneously developing the two fronts and proudly exercise its right to self-defense granted by international law no matter what others may say.
