U.S. urged to drop its criminal design Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) -- Recently the U.S. ruling circles are talking about a "hardline policy" while taking issue with the DPRK for no reason. They do not bother to call for escalating their criminal moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK by force of arms. In this regard rodong sinmun today in a signed commentary denounces these moves as a revelation of their sinister attempt to aggravate the situation on the Korean peninsula, block the way of the independent reunification of the Korean nation opened with much effort and, furthermore, achieve their wild design to invade the whole of Korea at any cost. The commentary goes on: The DPRK will never remain a passive onlooker to the U.S. undisguised military threat to the DPRK and frantic moves to undermine even the socialist system, its life and soul. By indefinitely escalating the moves against the DPRK, the U.S. warmongers seek to stop the situation in Korea from turning favourable to its peace and independent reunification. in other words, the U.S. imperialists are working hard to keep the Korean nation divided forever in a bid to perpetuate their military occupation of South Korea at any cost and, moreover, swallow up the whole of Korea, using it as a springboard. With no moves to isolate and suffocate the DPRK the successive U.S. imperialist warmongers could hurt the dignity and might of the DPRK. The world came to clearly realize how anachronistic the U.S. hostile policy is. However, the U.S. ruling circles, instead of drawing a lesson, are resorting to foolish moves to bring the situation on the Korean peninsula back to that before the adoption of the DPRK-U.S. agreed framework while resuming anti-DPRK racket of confrontation. The U.S. imperialists are mistaken. The DPRK is entitled to take an option. It is its revolutionary determination to counter the use of force with force and return war for war and surely win with a thousand-fold retaliation. The U.S. imperialists are well advised to stop acting rashly, properly judging our will and spirit. The United States should drop its daydream of isolating and stifling the DPRK by force of arms and opt to sincerely implement the agreed framework. This is also beneficial to the U.S.
