Sycophancy toward U.S. Brings Misfortune

Date: 07/07/2024 | Source: KCNA.kp (En) | Read original version at source

Pyongyang, July 7 (KCNA) -- U.S. troops' crimes are unabated in Japan. The stunning truth behind such crimes is revealed one after another in the island country to cause public anger and uproar.

It has been recently made public that a U.S. air-force man abducted and raped a Japanese girl under 16 in December last year.

The Foreign Ministry of Japan reportedly received a relevant indictment at that time but played it down. When the ministry was inquired about the matter, it could not but inform the local side of the fact on June 25.

It was also opened to the public on June 28 that the local police in Okinawa hushed up the case of a U.S. marine who had sexually assaulted and wounded a local woman in May.

Amid the mounting public anger at the local authorities and the U.S. troops, another piece of shocking news was reported on July 2 that there exist three more sexual assault cases involving U.S. troops in Okinawa that have not yet been indicted but pushed aside since last year.

The reality goes to prove the gravity of the ever-escalating high-profile crimes of the U.S. troops in Japan and the sycophancy of the Japanese authorities seeking to brush the truth under the carpet.

As known, over 70 percent of the U.S. military facilities in Japan are located in Okinawa Prefecture. Citizens are exposed to constant uneasiness and fear resulting from unabated war games and crimes of the U.S. troops, as well as the extreme burden they have to sustain for maintenance of the U.S. military base.

"This cannot but be viewed as an intentional cover-up." "The government should seriously acknowledge that citizens in the prefecture are always exposed to such uneasiness." "Such an incident will occur again as long as the military base exists." "Women and children are afraid of walking outside alone."

These are the voices of angry citizens in the prefecture and other Japanese people.

It's no wonder that the Japanese reactionary rulers turn a deaf ear to the anguished cries of the citizens as they regard it as a state policy to kowtow to the U.S. and offered the U.S. troops in Japan such an extraterritorial privilege that Japanese domestic law cannot be applied to them.

The reactionary authorities will gloss over the recent cases as they have so far done so, saying "U.S. troops play a great role in ensuring peace and stability" and "they are not evils."

It is so natural for the Japanese people to suffer from greater pain and misfortune due to the policy of sycophancy toward the U.S. being pursued by the Japanese authorities to attain their mean purpose with the backing of their American master. -0-
