Pyongyang, November 28 (KCNA) -- Jo Chol Su, director of Press of the
Institution for American Studies of the DPRK Foreign Ministry, issued
the following statement on Tuesday:
Recently, some policy research institutions and media of the U.S. and
other Western countries publicized the so called "merciless nuclear
attack plan" of the DPRK and claimed that the DPRK is planning random
and indiscriminate attacks on the U.S. and Asian countries drawing no
distinction between military and civilian targets.
On the other hand, they are prompting the baseless speculation that the
DPRK seeks a nuclear attack on south Korea during the Pyongchang Winter
Olympic Games and that the DPRK might go for another "ultra high level
provocation" by conducting a ballistic missile test launch on the
occasion of Christmas.
They claim that these projections are based on their study and analysis
of the reports by the DPRK's media, however these are nothing but
slanders to "demonize" the DPRK by twisting the meaning of our tough
stand and absurd paradox worked out by the laymen who lack elementary
understanding of the purpose of the DPRK's nuclear deterrence.
It is none other than the U.S. that is hatching plots to launch
preemptive nuclear strike on sovereign countries after adding them to
the list of targets for its nuclear preemptive strike, and the American
politicians are the very ones who call for the military option and
preemptive strikes against sovereign states time and again without the
slightest hesitation.
The U.S. deployed massive amount of its nuclear assets into the Korean
peninsula and ceaselessly carries out joint military exercises under
various names. Current situation evidently shows that it is only a
matter of time that a nuclear war breaks out on the peninsula due to
Trump's war mania and that the choice made by the DPRK was absolutely
right.
The attempts to defame the dignified image of the DPRK by spreading
baseless allegations against it are further increasing our vigilance as
they are happening at the time when Trump designated the DPRK as a
"state sponsor of terrorism" after vowing to "totally destroy" it and
the moves of the Trump administration to stifle the DPRK are reaching
the extremes.
To make it clear once again, the DPRK's nuclear force which targets none
other than the U.S. is the reliable deterrent to prevent a nuclear war
and firmly defend peace on the Korean peninsula by thoroughly
eradicating the half-a-century long unilateral nuclear blackmail and
threat from the U.S.
We take this opportunity to issue a warning to the pseudo-intellectuals
who are hurling vicious abuse at the DPRK in pursuance of the moves of
the Trump administration and some of the Western media that are
producing false reports based on absurd and groundless speculations.
If you are truly interested in the settlement of the nuclear issue and
peace and security, you should properly understand the root cause of the
nuclear issue based on your own principles and contribute to
international justice by being true to the principle of objectivity and
unbiasedness, the very life and mission of the media. -0-
