DPRK's Decision Was Entirely Just: KCNA Commentary

Pyongyang, June 17 (KCNA) -- The U.S. military moves against Syria are getting more outrageous on a daily basis. The U.S. startled the world by launching a missile strike on an air-force base of the Syrian government army in April last. It again launched an air strike at the country's military position on June 6 under the pretext that it intruded into the "de-confliction" zone. This was a brutal state-sponsored terrorism aimed at toppling the anti-U.S. government in Syria. The U.S. has long maneuvered to topple down the current anti-U.S. Syrian government and install a pro-U.S. regime. It left no stone unturned in its attempts to incite its internal dissention to topple the Syrian state as part of its strategy to dominate the Middle East. The U.S. unilaterally set the "de-confliction" zone in Syrian territory and launched an air strike against the just anti-terror acts of the government forces as "intrusions," considering its territory as its own without its approval. This clearly shows that the U.S. ambition to topple the government has gone to extreme phase. The U.S. is busy striking the Syrian government forces under the name of routing terrorists by applying "anti-terror operation" and keen on backing up "Islamic State," talking about support for anti-terror forces. The U.S. imperialists are a wrecker of global peace and security and a kingpin of international terrorism. As long as they remain on the earth, their state-sponsored terrorism to bring down other countries and nations will continue without letup. The DPRK's army and people will further beef up its nuclear deterrent for self-defense both in quality and quantity to counter the U.S. ever-more undisguised war moves. -0-
