The Korean Central News Agency issued a commentary on US increase in defence budget.
The commentary said.
Shortly ago, the United States adopted the "national defense authorization act for fiscal 2025" envisaging the largest-ever defence budget, an increase of 8.9 billion U.S. dollars over last year's.
No one in the world believes the US poor explanation that it is for the “defence of its territory” and for “countering the hostile forces the world over”.
The US military spending accounts for 40 percent of the total world military expenditure and is larger than the military spending of ten countries in the next rankings all put together.
Its amount will be beyond imagination, if unannounced funds, which are spent in military affairs under various pretexts, are calculated in addition to the defence expenses publicly announced by the government.
The United States is spending military funds lavishly on inciting and carrying out war, conflicts, confusion and slaughter in different parts of the world, not on defending itself, as it did in the past.
The chaotic world and worldwide upheaval are the aftermath of the US persistent arms buildup.
It is as clear as noonday that such increased military spending for this year will be directed to further escalating the danger of military conflict in the Korean peninsula and the region when the fact that the United States is the most reactionary state entity regarding anti-communism as an invariable state policy is taken into account.
To cope with the outrageous moves of the United States challenging the desire of mankind for peace and bringing instability to the world, the DPRK will further step up the bolstering of the powerful military capability for self-defence, a basic guarantee for defending the people and sovereignty, and continue to achieve great successes this year, too.
