U.S. Sanctions and Pressure Racket Will Be Foiled: KAPPC Spokesman

Pyongyang, December 25 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Korea Asia-Pacific Peace Committee (KAPPC) in a statement Monday denounced the U.S. for committing another state-sponsored terrorism as adoption of anti-DPRK "sanctions resolution" 2397 on Dec. 23 after threatening and appeasing the UNSC member nations for over 20 days, taken aback by the DPRK's success in the test-fire of ICBM Hwasong-15.

The fabrication of another "sanctions resolution" proves once again that the brigandish U.S. imperialists are the sworn enemies of the Korean nation with whom we can no longer live together and principal enemies with whom we have to settle final accounts, the spokesman said, and went on:

Despite barbarous "sanctions resolutions" which the U.S. cooked up on nine occasions with the mobilization of every possible means and method, the DPRK kept to the path of nuclear possession for self-defence and finally realized the historic cause of completing the state nuclear force. It would be a great mistake to think that the 10th "sanctions resolution" would browbeaten the DPRK.

The U.S. should imagine what a catastrophic consequence it will face for whatever it takes against the world-level nuclear power DPRK - whether it is the sanctions resolution or military attack- before going wild.

It is common sense that escalating sanctions and pressure on the Korean peninsula, arsenal in Far East, would heat up the nuclear detonator.

The neighboring countries will be forced to make belated regret, if they harbor the foolish illusion that their support for the sanctions under the coercion of the U.S. would ensure security and pacify the surrounding situation and do not give up the despicable inner calculation of meeting their own selfish interests at the sacrifice of neighbor.

Explicitly speaking, our nuclear weapons are the ones of justice targeting the U.S. which has constantly threatened and blackmailed the DPRK with the tyrannical nuclear weapons, bringing dark clouds of a nuclear war to hang over us. It is never the ones of threatening China, Russia, and countries in Europe and Africa.

Time has come for the whole world to see clearly whose nuclear weapons defend the peace and stability in Korean peninsula and the rest of Asia-Pacific- the nuclear weapons of the brigandish U.S., enemy common to humankind, or the nuclear weapons of Juche Korea, fortress of independence and justice.

No one can ever check the dynamic advance of the army and people of the DPRK toward further bolstering the state nuclear force under the uplifted great banner of simultaneous development of the two fronts, defying the sanctions and pressure racket. -0-
