Ridiculous

Date: 23/07/2018 | Source: Pyongyang Times | Read original version at source

Japan is misbehaving itself while clamouring for the “forcible inspection” of the DPRK’s nuclear facilities.

Now the Abe group is making much ado every day, saying that “As north Korea has not yet started to abandon nukes and missiles, a forcible and surprise nuclear inspection is needed”, “If no strict conditions are set, north Korea will not move” and “Compromise will leave secret facilities intact”.

Keeping step with it, Mainichi Shimbun and other conservative media are circulating a rumour that the Abe regime has entered a preliminary tuning with the US side to introduce the forcible inspection system against the suspicious nuclear facilities of north Korea.

Meanwhile, Japan is examining a plan for developing a next generation of radar for Aegis-class destroyers with the US in order to intensify surveillance of the DPRK as it schemes to take part in the US-led trans-Pacific joint military exercises and increase next year’s defence spending to the record high level.

It is very ridiculous and intrusive for Japan to talk about the “forcible inspection”, though it is unqualified to meddle in the Korean peninsula nuclear issue.

Despite the war criminal state and defeated nation to be forcibly inspected, Japan is making a headlong rush towards a military power while investing astronomical sums of money and keeping in secrecy a great deal of plutonium capable of making thousands of nuclear weapons.

A base calculation of the political dwarf underlies its inspection claim. It intends to curry favour with its master that insists on “report, verification and inspection”, get out of its wretched plight as the one that has been sidelined from the trend of the Korean peninsula situation and earn honour.

Explicitly speaking, the so-called forcible inspection can never work on the DPRK since it is a gangster-like logic which was put up in the 1990s by hostile forces to end in failure.

Japan had better remember that if it persists in anti-DPRK confrontation rackets while running counter to the trend of the times, it will be pushed outside of the times.
