Pyongyang, July 14 (KCNA) -- A joint statement published at the end of the talks between the U.S. and South Korean defence ministers is aimed to strengthen the U.S.-South Korea "military alliance." And stronger military deterrent force called for by them means equipping the U.S. forces present in South Korea with ultra-modern arms and training the South Korean armed forces as effective cannon fodder in a war. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed commentary.
It goes on:
The U.S. is keen to keep South Korea as its faithful "military ally" so that the U.S. may use South Korea in a war any time.
This is a sinister aim sought by the U.S. in its strategy for a war of aggression against the DPRK. But the "military alliance" between the U.S. and South Korea is now shaking.
This situation raises it as the most urgent strategic task for the implementation of the U.S. policy of aggression towards the DPRK to tighten the U.S.-South Korea "military alliance" and put South Korea under its permanent military occupation.
By strengthening this "alliance" the U.S. seeks to chill the positive atmosphere of reconciliation, cooperation and reunification prevailing on the Korean peninsula, keep South Korea subject to the master-servant "alliance" and thus drive it to confrontation with the DPRK and use it as a shock brigade in implementing Washington's policy to stifle the DPRK.
However, the U.S. moves to use South Korea as a shock force in carrying out its war of aggression against the DPRK and hamstring the positive development on the Korean peninsula are bound to go bust.
