Pyongyang, July 25 (KCNA) -- The present authorities of Japan are more openly revealing their ambition for nuclear weapons.
With regard to France's declaration of its plan to increase the number of nuclear warheads and the Finnish parliament's approval of a revised bill on allowing the deployment of nuclear weapons in its territory in contingency, the Japanese minister of Defence on July 17 advocated the need to change Japan's nuclear policy, saying that it is difficult for Japan to comment on the fact, but one thing that deserves comment is nuclear.
The minister of Defence, who is in charge of the security policy of Japan, unreservedly talked about the revision of nuclear policy. This is not just a slip of the tongue to the press or bombast from temerity.
No wonder, the Japanese chief executive told the House of Councilors shortly ago that revision of the "Three Non-Nuclear Principles" would be brought up for discussion alongside the revision of the three security-related documents including the national security strategy.
By making such shameless remarks, the Japanese regime has openly revealed its intention to go straight to adopt it as a major state policy decision to arm itself with nuclear weapons, which it has long dreamed of, instead of merely placing it under debate.
Japan's revision of nuclear policy just means the war criminal state's access to nuclear weapons.
As recognized by the international community, the revision of the "Three Non-Nuclear Principles" should never be Japan's "subject of debate".
Japan is a heinous war criminal state which plunged the Asia-Pacific region into a sea of blood, using warships, planes, cannons and bayonets for realizing the wild ambition to enslave all mankind a century ago. It is, at the same time, an inhuman criminal state which still denies its past crimes, distorts history and doggedly evades the legal and moral responsibility it assumes for the international community.
For the past 80 years since its defeat, the "Self-Defence Forces" of Japan have undergone a transformation from the "mainland defence type" to the "overseas attack type" aimed at launching a preemptive attack on other countries with its official right to the possession of the "capability of attacking the enemy base." The defence expenses are also hitting an all-time high every year under the deceptive veil of "exclusive defence," going far beyond the "minimum necessary limit" of a "pacifist state".
The successive rulers of Japan laid institutional and legal foundations for reinvasion bit by bit by adopting the "law on overseas dispatches", the "law to deal with contingencies in areas surrounding Japan", the "law on special measures for terrorism" and the "security legislation" alongside their persistent effort to revise the constitution.
In particular, the present ruling forces, which carried out the revision of the "Three Principles on Transfer of Defence Equipment and Technology" and its operation guidelines which stipulated the export of lethal weapons at the outset of their office, are now seeking to forcibly revise the "three principles of denuclearization". Such neo-militarist moves clearly prove that Japan, a defeated nation in Asia, is accelerating its transformation into a war state, regarding the current complicated situation as a golden opportunity for getting rid of all sorts of chains shackling its emergence as a military giant.
It is not secret that Japan has advanced nuclear technology and has stockpiled plutonium and enriched uranium that might be used in making many nuclear bombs and is capable of actualizing the mass production of nuclear weapons at any moment.
It is the immutable truth taught by history that nuclear weapons, for their tremendous destructive power, will turn into a means of tyranny against mankind if they are in the hands of injustice, but will be the greatest deterrent to injustice if they are in the hands of justice.
This is why the world people are getting increasing vocal in their demand that war criminal nation's wild ambition for nuclear weapons should be nipped in the bud for high possibility of repeating the offense.
82 local councils in the archipelago submitted a letter of opinion strongly urging the government and the diet to preserve the "three principles of denuclearization" and the public is blaming the authorities for seeking to "restore the politics deceiving the people." Such mounting criticism is a due denunciation and expression of resentment and protest against the dangerous act of the present ruling forces to make a new history of aggression by realizing their wild nuclear ambition.
The whole world should impose stern punishment on the vicious attempt of neo-militarism to bring nuclear holocaust to mankind under the revanchist ambition, carrying the signboard of the "world's only victim of atomic bombs" to gain sympathy.
Japan's pursuance of neo-militarism will inevitably result in digging its own grave, as those who forget the past repeat the past. -0-
