U.S. Administration's Tough Policy towards DPRK Is Foiled (1)

Nearly four years have passed since the appearance of the Obama administration. During the years it has pursued unprecedented tough policy against the DPRK.

In the early days after Obama came into power, he advertised that to build a "nuclear-free world" is the core of his foreign policy and posed as "disarmament president". Talking about "change" and "multi-cooperative diplomacy", the present U.S. administration even said that dialogue and diplomacy should be given priority for the settlement of the nuclear issue of the DPRK.

However, its tough Korea policy remains unchanged and is bound to meet failure.

In connection with our launch of peaceful satellite, Obama croaked about "deserved punishment", branding it as a "challenge" and "provocation". The state secretary repeated such clumsy words as "tyrannical government" and "delinquent government" as the former administration did against us.

Our launch of peaceful satellite is from A to Z an exercise of legal sovereignty.

Nevertheless, the United States and its followers did their best in an attempt to prevent our peaceful satellite launch, in disregard of the international laws.

The United States brought the issue of our peaceful satellite launch to the UN Security Council and passed the sanction against us through it to physically destroy our national defence industry.

What is matter is that the UN Security Council, inveigled into the anti-DPRK plots of the hostile forces, issued a brigandish "presidential statement" denouncing our satellite launch and then resorted to the sanction against the DPRK.

It was made clear that the UN Security Council moves at the hands of the United States and thus the principle of equal sovereignty and impartiality of the UN Charter are violated and only the logic of strength works in the international relations. This compelled the DPRK to take additional self-defensive counter measures including nuclear test as already declared.

The Korea policy of the Obama administration in the first year following its coming into power showed that its policy was the same with that of the Bush administration which had been engaged in the moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK. It became clear to us how it should stand against the opposite pursuing hostile policy for removing our ideology and system by dint of strength.

The stand of our army and people to answer the rifle of the enemy with gun, "sanction" with merciless retaliation and "confrontation" with overall confrontation has become still firmer.
