KCNA Commentary Slams Senior Japanese Diplomat's Provocative Remarks

Pyongyang, December 16 (KCNA) -- Japan has gone the lengths of crying out for "attack" on the DPRK. Shortly ago, a senior official of the Foreign Ministry of Japan blustered that Japan "can attack the DPRK," pursuant to the "right to collective self-defense", if the south Korean regime requests and a serious threat is posed on the stability of Japan, a revelation of an undisguised scenario for invading the DPRK. In recent years, Japan has put spurs to its moves for turning itself into a military giant, challenging its legal position as the defeated nation banned from having not only the right to belligerency and the right to participate in a war but also a regular army. Japan has stepped up the SDF's advance into overseas after mapping out a military strategy for overseas attack by taking advantage of the U.S. "anti-terrorism war." Japan is mulling invading Korea and advancing into the continent with it as its stepping-stone just as it did in the last century. The strategic position of the DPRK has dramatically changed as it is a dignified politico-ideological power and a world military power possessed of tremendous nuclear deterrent. The Japanese authorities would be well advised to cogitate about their foolish actions to be entailed by terrible disasters. -0-
