Outcome of Mendicant Diplomacy of S. Korea Ridiculed

  Pyongyang, January 13 (KCNA) -- Senior researcher of the Disarmament and Peace Institute of the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK Ju Wang Hwan made public a commentary titled "Miserable Outcome of Mendicant Diplomacy" Friday.
    The commentary said:
    The south Korean puppet forces now thrown into the worst political chaos as a result of the "Park Geun Hye, Choe Sun Sil scandal" have been driven into a tight corner by big neighboring countries even in the field of diplomacy.
    Yielding to the U.S. which pressed for realizing its Asia-Pacific domination strategy while keeping its presence in south Korea, traitor Park Geun Hye decided to deploy THAAD in south Korea in July last year which the present puppet authorities are pushing forward in real earnest.
    This turned south Korea into a U.S. nuclear outpost and nuclear observation post and, at the same time, made it the first target of strike by regional countries.
    The south Korean puppet forces struck a deal on glossing over the crimes related to the sexual slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army toward the end of 2015 on the basis of payment of a petty amount of money out of their intent to tighten military cooperation with Japan.
    Enraged by the mendicant diplomacy of Park, south Koreans erected a girl statue before the Japanese Consulate General in Pusan and Japan has put unprecedented pressure on the puppet authorities under that pretext.
    The south Korean puppet forces have now become like a shrimp with its back broken in a fight between whales, being sandwiched among big powers aimed at strategic hegemony in the Asia-Pacific region.
    Media of south Korea, commenting on the unprecedented shame suffered by its diplomacy, said that its diplomacy has now become a target incurring the anger of other countries from the outset of the year. It is kicked by China this way and by Japan that way and snubbed by the U.S., they added. They also noted China regards south Korea as its maritime territory and south Korea is not in the mind of Trump and even though it is, it never comes on top. They deplored that south Korea is like a drum beaten at will by such big powers as China, Japan, the U.S. and Russia to meet their own interests.
    The situation prevailing in south Korea today reminds one of the miserable fate of the Feudal Joson Dynasty toward the end of the 19th century when the country was played into the hands of big powers and its sovereignty was usurped by the Japanese imperialists as a result of sycophancy and incompetence.
    The current deplorable plight of south Korea hit hard from all sides is an inevitable outcome of the mendicant diplomacy of traitor Park Geun Hye who has resorted to dependence on outsiders and confrontation with the fellow countrymen while acting as a stooge of the U.S.
    The grim situation in and around south Korea makes the DPRK feel increasingly proud of having kept to its path of independence, Songun and socialism no matter how the situation changed and no matter how the relations among neighboring countries may altered.
    The geo-political fate has already become a thing of the past on this land and the DPRK has towered imposingly as a nuclear power and a military power in the East which no formidable enemy dares provoke.
    The army and people of the DPRK will in the future, too, firmly maintain its independent stand to cope with the pressure of the imperialists and the hegemonic forces and certainly defend the peace and security of the country by their own efforts and make a positive contribution to safeguarding world peace and stability. -
