JOINT STATEMENT OF THE ASSPUK AND JISGE ON THE 55TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE VICTORY OF THE KOREAN PEOPLE IN THE FATHERLAND LIBERATION WAR AGAINST THE US IMPERIALISTS


The Association For the Study of Songun Politics and the Juche Idea Study Group of England today issued the following joint statement on the occasion of the 55th anniversary of the victory of the Korean people in the great Fatherland Liberation War against the US imperialist aggressors.

This was the first ever defeat suffered by the US imperialists The Korean peoples victory in the Fatherland Liberation War from 25 June 1950 to July 27th 1953 was the first victory in the world struggle against US imperialism. It opened up a new era of anti-US anti-Imperialist struggle and made possible many other victories against US imperialism.

During this war many myths about US imperialism were smashed to smithereens by the heroic Korean Peoples Army commanded by the great leader Marshal Kim Il Sung the gifted military strategist and legendary hero of the anti Japanese armed struggle.

During the three-year long Fatherland Liberation the U.S. imperialists lost over 1,567,000 men, including more than 405,000 of their own armed forces, and an enormous amount of combat equipment and war supplies, including over 12,200 aircraft, more than 560 warships and ships, over 3,200 tanks and armored vehicles of different types, more than 13,350 trucks and 7,690 artillery pieces of various types. This is only part of the bitter setbacks suffered by them in the war.

The U.S. hurled nearly 2 million-strong forces, including three services of its army equipped with modern weapons, armed forces of its 15 satellites, "ROK" army and the Japanese militarist aggression forces, and a huge amount of sophisticated military hardware into the Korean War. The U.S. employed the most brutal and barbarous methods and means in the history of war by using even chemical and germ weapons.The brutality of the US imperialists outdid Hitlers Nazis and destroyed the image of the US as ‘humanitarians’
and ‘apostles of peace’

The myth of the US imperialists 'might' was smashed-General Mark Clark wearily concluded that he was the first US commander to sign an armstice without a victory.It
was a stunning miracle that the 2 year old DPRK defeated the US imperialists, ringleader
of imperialism and chieftain of international reactions

The Fatherland Liberation War was a true peoples war of justice against US imperialism, a just national liberation war and a class struggle against the enemy of the people.It showed
the truth that the only way to defeat imperialism is to destroy by force of arms and that
there must be no illusion about imperialism whatsoever.


Victory in the war was only possible due to the Juche orientated military thought and tactics of the great leader Marshal Kim Il Sung and heroism and self sacrifice of the Korean people.The great leader supreme commander Marshal Kim Il Sung created new tactics
of warfare based on the Juche idea and the anti Japanese armed struggle.New forms
of warfare such as tunnel warfare were created as well as the concept of creating a
second front within a single country.

As Marshal Kim Il Sung said no force can defeat a people rallied around a vanguard party and if a small country achieves Juche it can defeat a powerful enemy.

On this occasion we pay tribute to the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung and to
the heroic Korean people and army
