Pyongyang, June 2 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Sunday in an article says that the present situation, in which not only regional powers but also nuclear weapons states are faced with a conflict phase, is so dangerous that it can never be compared with the beginning of the present century when the whole world was in nightmare due to the "anti-terrorism war" that had broke out with the September 11 incident as an occasion. The main reason for ever-worsening situation lies in the moves of the imperialists who are desperately resorting to the expansion of the military blocs for aggression, the article says, and goes on: The U.S. expansion of military blocs is now escalating in a frantic manner, combined with its criminal scheme to hold the edge of strength and maintain its hegemonic position in the showdown with its strategic rivals. New military blocs for aggression emerge in different parts of the world and the existing ones are being expanded. The expansion of NATO is hastily accelerated in Europe. The U.S. is trying to put pressure on Russia's strategic sphere and tighten the siege to it in Europe, steadily pushing the NATO's boundary line to the east. The U.S. expansion of military blocs is intensified in the Asia-Pacific region, in particular. In recent years, U.S.-led military blocs such as QUAD and AUKUS have appeared in the Asia-Pacific region. Some days ago another bloc called SQUAD was formed. These blocs have expanded their scope with the passage of time, more clearly betraying their confrontational nature. Due to the U.S. moves to expand military blocs, arms race has been escalated and the inter-camp confrontation aggravated in all parts of the world. Experts are expressing serious concern over the change in the present international situation reaching the phase of explosion, saying "it may lead to the final war of mankind." The reality shows once again that in order to defend the security of mankind and global peace, it is necessary to resolutely foil the imperialists' expansion of military blocs, a hotbed of aggression and war. |
