Juche v Soviet revisionism or a tale of two different crisis

                                                        

A few days ago it was 58 years since the US imperialists manufactured the so-called "Cuban missile crisis creating a very tense situation internationally by the use of threat and blackmail. It is deeply relevant to compare and contrast the 1962 Cuban missile crisis with the DPRK nuclear issue and the DPRK's confrontation with US imperialism.

            On the 22nd of October 1962 the US imperialists announced that their spy satellites had detected long -range missiles being transported into the Republic of Cuba by the Soviet Union. The US imperialist chieftain Kennedy blustered and threatened the Soviet Union and Cuba. The US announced a blockade of Cuba There was talk of both the invasion of Cuba by the US and a nuclear strike against the USSR. It should be mentioned in passing here that the DPRK under the leadership of the great leader President KIM IL IL SUNG provided internationalist support for Cuba during its hour of need, gave political and military assistance, while sending food and tractors as well as a group of authoritative technicians. The DPRK also publicly supported the 5 -point demands of Premier Fidel Castro which included the US withdrawal from Guantanamo.

 It did not take very long for the modern revisionist Khruschov leadership of the CPSU and USSR  to give into the nuclear blackmail of US imperialism.  On the 28th of October 1962 only 6 days later  Khrushchev announced "the Soviet government, in addition to previously issued instructions on the cessation of further work at the building sites for the weapons, has issued a new order on the dismantling of the weapons which you describe as 'offensive' and their crating and return to the Soviet Union."

Contrast this to People's Korea guided by Juche . The DPRK tested its first nuclear weapon in October 2006 14 years ago  . Since then there have been countless sanctions by the UN and US as well as military pressure but the DPRK has not yielded .

When the first DPRK-US summit was held on the 12th of June 2018 some predicted that the DPRK would disarm unilaterally ( and not only disarm but open a McDonald's in Pyongyang and join the IMF ) . However 2 years later the not a single  DPRK ICBM or nuke has been dismantled and on the 10th of October People's Korea proudly displayed a new ICBM , bigger than the previous ones .

How could People's Korea a country much smaller in size than the old USSR manage to resist pressure from US and world imperialism when the USSR could not ? Well the secret is a simple one , it is called the Juche idea  ! .It is the Juche idea that makes the DPRK strong and able to resist pressure from imperialism . Juche and anti-imperialist independence are embodied in People's Korea !
