Minju Joson Urges Abe Group Not to Go Reckless

Pyongyang, April 20 (KCNA) -- The Japanese reactionaries are busy setting up the "general ground force command" in the Ground "Self-Defense Force" for uniform control over the military operations, and organizing "amphibious task force" called "Japan version of marines" and holding the drill of seizing remote islands. They are also stepping up the final assembly of F-35A after introducing parts for 42 fighters from the U.S. munitions company under the plan for deploying 10 F-35A fighters within this year. They put ultra-modern attack submarine Seiryu and mine-sweeper Hirado into commission one after another.

A commentary of Minju Joson Friday brands the Japanese reactionaries' spurred moves for realization of overseas militarist expansion as a desperate struggling to attain without fail their dirty political purposes.

Now the Japanese political camp is like a hornet's nest due to the Abe family's scandal, the commentary says, and goes on:

The means sought by Abe as a way out of the unfavorable political situation is to intensify the militarist revival. Through the military whirlwind, Abe seeks to overcome the political situation unfavorable for him, distract social censure pointed at him and realize long-term stay in power and the militarist ambition for reinvasion.

The Japanese reactionaries are whetting hard the sword for reinvasion, fearing that their militarist ambition for turning Japan into a military giant may end up in failure due to the situation on the Korean peninsula developing toward detente.

The Abe group should not run amuck, clearly understanding that their frantic militarist revival and reinvasion moves going against the trend of the times are as foolish an act as plunging the lonely island country in the Pacific into the abyss of isolation and destruction.
