‘Tripartite cooperation’ will hasten ‘tripartite ruin’: KCNA commentary

Date: 04/08/2024 | Source: Pyongyang Times | Read original version at source

The US is getting frantic in further strengthening the triangular military alliance under the pretext of the "threat" from the DPRK.

On July 28, the military bosses of the US, Japan and the ROK held a confab in Tokyo to make a memorandum on institutionalizing the framework for tripartite cooperation in security.

In the so-called "standard document", the hostile forces clarified that they would boost cooperation for effective operation of the real-time missile warning data sharing mechanism targeting the DPRK, conduct the tripartite joint military exercises regularly and systematically in the future and, in particular, routinely stage Freedom Edge, the multi-domain joint military exercises between the three parties.

The dangerousness of this confab of war chiefs is being highlighted as it is a cornerstone for realizing the criminal attempt to turn the triangular military alliance into a nuclear alliance in the Asia-Pacific region in the near future.

The US, together with the ROK puppets, announced the Washington Declaration, and even fabricated the US-ROK Guidelines for Nuclear Deterrence and Nuclear Operations on the Korean Peninsula after commencing the operation of the Nuclear Consultative Group. On this basis, it is hell-bent on preparing a nuclear war targeting the DPRK while accelerating the integration of its nuclear armed forces with the conventional armed forces of the ROK.

After the confab, the US, together with the Japanese stooges, held a ministerial conference on "extended deterrence" to "defend" Japan with all military forces including the US nuclear weapons, and committed to "sharing nuclear weapons" with the war criminal state in fact.

It is the invariable sinister intention of the US to bind the two stooges more tightly in its nuclear chain and realize its military domination over the region under the pretext of "providing extended deterrence".

The US, Japan and the puppet ROK staged anti-DPRK joint military exercises from January to April twice as many as those in the same period of last year. It clearly shows the military ties between the master and the stooges getting unprecedentedly stronger.

It is as clear as noonday that if Freedom Edge, the multi-domain joint military exercises between the three parties targeting the independent and sovereign states in the region including the DPRK, is put on a regular footing, the security environment on the Korean peninsula and in the region will be driven into the worst "catastrophe".

The question is why the warmongers, who have so far staged various kinds of confabs and war rehearsals frequently to get hell-bent on military cooperation, are hyping the "institutionalization of tripartite security cooperation" and accelerating the tightening of military nexus at present.

As is known, US President Biden gave up his run for the presidency after caving into the ever-mounting pressure put on him to withdraw his candidacy.

The two servants, too, are in a pitiful position of breathing their last breath at the worst ruling crisis.

"Divorcement from Kishida" has been witnessed in the class supporting the Liberal Democratic Party and the support rate for the Cabinet has dropped continuously since the birth of the Kishida regime. The number of people petitioning for proposing a bill on impeachment of puppet Yoon Suk Yeol has exceeded one million and hundreds of thousands, and the impeachment becomes the main current.

It is the real aim of the confab and the common desperate efforts of those on deathbed to maintain the military edge of the tripartite nuclear alliance in the region by specifying in a document that the "security cooperation" would be further intensified regardless of any regime change in the three countries.

This is well evidenced by the remarks of the defense minister of the puppet ROK that "the US, Japan and the ROK security cooperation continues whether the regime is replaced or the Democratic Party stays in power in the US.

It is the fixed will of the DPRK to thoroughly contain and frustrate the ever-increasing reckless and provocative hostile acts of the US and its servants with overwhelming and powerful self-defence capability, no matter what attempt and choice the enemies make, in order to defend peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and in the region.

Historically, the more desperately the US and its vassal forces escalate their moves to stifle the DPRK, the surer the military strength of the DPRK has become. It is none other than the provocateurs who are faced with the miserable fate to really worry about their security.

The "new era of tripartite cooperation" that the US, Japan and the ROK trumpet will only bring earlier the "tripartite ruin".
