  The Association For the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK),the Juche Idea Study Group of England(JISGE),the UK Korean Friendship Association(UK KFA) and the UK Preparatory Committee For the 2017 Gathering to Praise the Great Persons Born of Mt Paektu issued a statement today in support of the Memorandum issued by the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK)  titled "Bolstering of Nuclear Force Is to Cope with U.S. Extreme Moves to Stifle DPRK"
  This excellent Memorandum produced by the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK explains why the DPRK has taken the path of bolstering its nuclear deterrent. The DPRK has developed the nuclear deterrent not for the the sake of having nuclear weapons but to cope with the extreme threat posed by US imperialism to the DPRK.
    The Memorandum gives a cogent and extremely lucid analysis of the extreme threats to the DPRK's existence after the past five years. Ever since the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL passed away the US imperialists have systematically tried to demolish the socialist system of the DPRK and its proud achievements. As the memorandum points out "   Since the year 2012, soon after the passing away of the great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il, the U.S. began to openly pursue the objective to politically stifle the DPRK and overthrow its system by all means...

    Blatant remarks denying the DPRK's government, system and policy were made by high-level officials of the U.S. and even Obama himself has constantly heaped malicious slander and criticism on the DPRK in his public appearances.
    This fully reveals the true nature of the policy of "strategic patience" pursued by the Obama administration, which is none other than an aggressive and heinous "strategic suffocation" policy against the DPRK.
    By this time, the "human rights" racket which the U.S. has long made against the DPRK has grown so reckless as to attempt to put their wild ambition of overthrowing the DPRK's system into practice."

The US imperialists threat to the DPRK's existence has been threefold; firstly, the US has tried to deny the socialist system of the DPRK and go to all kinds of lengths to undermine and stifle the DPRK including allocated huge amounts of funds to anti-DPRK broadcasters and organisations ,secondly the US has carried out all sorts of military exercises against the DPRK such as "Key Resolve/Foal Eagle",  "Max Thunder" ,"Ulji Freedom Guardian " ,  RIMPAC and many others. The US has overflown the Korean peninsula with nuclear bombers, thirdly the US has piled on sanctions after sanctions on the DPRK aimed at strangling the economy and impeding the improvement of living standards. Thus the DPRK was compelled to take the option of developing its nuclear forces.

  We support the Memorandum of the DPRK Foreign Ministry believing that it is only correct and just that the DPRK is bolstering the nuclear force . The line of developing the economy and nuclear force in parallel is one that defends the supreme interests of the DPRK and fully reflects the interests and aspirations of its people.

  The US must finally recognise the reality that the DPRK is a nuclear power and must end its hostile policy towards the DPRK.
