KCNA Commentary Slams S. Korean Authorities' Double-Dealing Attitude

  Pyongyang, February 14 (KCNA) -- It is so queer to see the south Korean authorities getting vocal about the improvement of the north-south relations whenever an opportunity presents itself.
    The south Korean chief executive has constantly blustered that it is the "preconditions of dialogue" to "have firm security and perfect capability for counteraction" while crying out for "change" of someone.
    On Feb. 4 and 5 the south Korean authorities let loose a string of coarse invectives that the DPRK keeps slandering and threatening the south, not responding to their proposals for dialogue and exchanges.
    At the 48th central integrated defense meeting they made such venomous outpourings that despite their lots of efforts for the improvement of the north-south ties, the north keeps developing nuclear weapons and long-range ballistic missiles pursuant to the line on simultaneously developing the two fronts. They called for getting "firm military posture for counteraction" and "deterring the north's provocation".
    This is a revelation of the double-dealing attitude of the south Korean chief executive who has often trumpeted about "creating conditions for unification and resumption of dialogue".
    Like master, like man. The puppet authorities chime in with her words by crying out for "achieving unification under liberal democracy at the risk of their lives in 2015" and "making appropriate counteraction in line with the U.S. 'additional sanctions against the north'".
    The military warmongers challenged the DPRK's demand for halting the war exercises, by asserting that "the exercises have nothing to do with the atmosphere of dialogue" and "the joint military exercises will go on as long as the south has an alliance with the U.S."
    The puppet Ministry of Unification openly encourages anti-DPRK leaflet scattering operations of diehard conservative organizations, claiming that "leaflet scattering operations pertain to basic right and no coercion should be involved even though they may be a stumbling block in the way of improving the south-north relations." Shortly ago, the puppet Human Rights Committee openly adopted a resolution which said that anti-DPRK leaflet-scattering operations "should not be checked as it can be restriction on the freedom of expression".
    All facts prove that "dialogue" and "unification" touted by the south Korean authorities are nothing but a smokescreen to cover up their confrontational nature and that they whet the sword for achieving "unification of social systems" behind the scene.
    The north-south relations can never improve as long as confrontation is pursued behind the call for dialogue.
    The history of confrontation between the fellow countrymen still persists and Korea has not yet been reunified though 70 years have passed since the division of the nation. This is attributable to the south Korean authorities' despicable attitude of acting quite contrary to their words.
    Now the puppet forces' moves for confrontation with the DPRK are becoming a fuse that can fuel mistrust and hostility between the fellow countrymen and cause an uncontrollable situation in the relations between the north and the south all of a sudden.
    The south Korean authorities should not misjudge the sincere desire of the DPRK to write a new history of the improvement of the north-south relations this year.
    Only a total ruin will await traitors going against the desire and interests of the nation. -0-
