Who Disturbs Peace? : KCNA Commentary

Pyongyang, September 24 (KCNA) -- Now the situation of the Korean Peninsula is developing favorably, as recognized by the public at home and abroad.

But only Japan claims it feels "threat" in this stable and peaceful trend of situation.

It recently conducted a ballistic missile interception test in the waters off Hawaii under the pretext of "threat" from someone.

Its defense minister stated in a news conference on September 18 that Japan is capable of intercepting any missile flying toward Guam from north Korea by using the Aegis MD system.

Such language is utterly ridiculous as it was spouted at a time when the trend is going toward dialogue and peace.

Then, what is the ulterior design of Japan going clamorous just like a bolt from the blue?

In actuality, Japan lowered the level of its "Self-Defense Forces'" alertness and vigilance against someone's "ballistic missile launch", withdrew the PAC-3 ground-to-air guided missile units deployed across Japan and terminated the noisy civilian evacuation drill in the wake of the June DPRK-U.S. summit.

It clearly proves that Japan not only senses the trend of peace but also benefits from it, and that it deliberately spreads the story of "threat".

What the Japanese reactionaries are afraid of is not just a "missile" of someone but the obstacle to their strategy like arms buildup, overseas expansion and amendment of the Constitution in the trend of the detente in the region.

Now the militarist wild ambition of Japan has gone beyond the red line, as evidenced by the fact that it cries out for seizing supremacy in "new spheres like outer space and cyber space" and pursues the development of supersonic cruise missile, a weapon of the next generation which will be a substitute for nukes, only to break the balance of security in the region and the world.

This being a hard fact, Japan still works hard to turn the regional situation back to the point of confrontation, talking about "cooperation in scaling up sanctions and pressure" and "intensification of the maritime monitoring." This is just a sly trick to dim the sharp eyes of the international community centered on it.

Who disturbs peace?

The Japanese reactionaries are just the forces endangering and disturbing peace as they seek to spoil the peaceful atmosphere on the Korean Peninsula, cause tensions in the region and thus get something in the troubled waters.

Japan should conduct itself, being aware that its brazen-faced acts will boomerang on it. -0-
