               The Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK), Juche Idea Study Group of England(JISGE) and UK Korean Friendship Association (UK KFA ) today issued a joint statement in denunciation of  the start of the Foal Eagle and Key Resolve war exercises by the US imperialists and south Korean puppets :

                Today , the 2nd of March, the US imperialists and their south Korean puppets began the Foal Eagle and Key Resolve military exercises which are aimed at invading and occupying the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the homeland of Juche and bastion of true socialism and independence.
These exercises will last for over 6 weeks and are massive in scale . The US imperialists have even involved a number of countries that are subservient to it such as the UK, Canada, Denmark ,Australia and France.  The exercises involve over 11,000 US imperialist aggression troops and over 200,000
south Korean puppets as well as a special coastal combat ship which has been designed to operate
in Korean coastal waters.
                            From the start of the year the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)  made sincere, patient and painstaking efforts for  peace , even offering to suspend holding nuclear tests if the US and south Korea  did not hold "Foal Eagle " and "Key Resolve " but these efforts of the DPRK to defuse tension were casually brushed aside by the US and the US imperialists have steamed ahead with holding the exercises . The US imperialists are hell bent on provoking war so that the giant capitalist arms monopolies can make big profits .

            The exercises are not "defensive " as claimed  The exercises  include landing craft which are a means to wage offensive and invasive warfare. It is a nonsensical sophistry to assert that as they are "routine " so do pose a threat. The analogy can be used of a fire drill in an office building or factory , these are not held for the sake of "routine" but as a practice for the real thing . It is the same with "Foal Eagle " and "Key Resolve. These exercises aim at invading the DPRK and occupying it . They are aimed at destroying the socialist system of the DPRK . They are a grave challenge to the independence and sovereignty of the DPRK . Also Foal Eagle and Key Resolve  are a serious threat to peace in the Asia Pacific region .

    As UK followers of the Juche Idea and Songun Idea and friends of the DPRK we cannot but help taking note of the fact the reactionary Cameron government has sent British forces to participate in these despicable provocations against the DPRK . The UK must not repeat its shameful history of the Korean war when young British men were sent to fight and sacrifice their lives for the greedy
Wall Street monopolists because the UK acted as a satellite state of Yankee imperialism . Any British forces in south Korea should be withdrawn immediately.

             We call for the immediate cancellation of Foal Eagle and Key Resolve and the unconditional withdrawal of US troops from Korea . Moreover a broad labour movement  and peace movement
campaign must be mounted against Foal Eagle and Key Resolve.
