Rodong Sinmun Blasts Japan's Moves for War State
Pyongyang, September 18 (KCNA) -- Japanese Defense Minister Onodera said in a recent round-table talk that he wants the Japanese to know that the security environment is serious, adding that the security of Japan is getting worse than last year due to the "threat" from the DPRK.

In this regard, Rodong Sinmun comments Tuesday that it is a sinister artifice of the Japanese reactionaries to provide a springboard for achieving the black-hearted militarist ambition by inciting the hostility towards the DPRK in Japan.

The commentary goes on:

No matter how often Japanese politicians talk about the "threat", the international community never believes it.

The world people know that the trend of the situation of the Korean peninsula is turning to the detente thanks to the DPRK's proactive measures. The international community unanimously demands that the hard-won atmosphere of defuse be promoted.

The black-hearted aim of the Japanese authorities is very clear to all.

The ultimate goal of Abe group is to make Japan a war state.

They view this year as an important one for laying a foundation to carry out the retrogressive revision of the constitution.

If so, Japan will have all looks of a war state.

The Abe group would be well advised to be prudent, bearing in mind that the moves for a war state will only make it isolated and ruined.
