Pyongyang, February 2 (KCNA) -- The U.S., the world's biggest war merchant, is getting more frantic in its arms sale to its vassal states than ever before.

According to the arms transfer and defense trade for fiscal 2024 data recently announced by the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. foreign military sales aimed at arms support to its allies in the last fiscal year reached 117.9 billion U.S. dollars, 45.7 percent increase over the previous fiscal year.

In this regard, the U.S. Department of State loudly claimed that it is the highest record of the annual foreign military sales to the allies.

That is very likely.

Last year the U.S. provided the Zelenskiy clique with a large amount of ultra-modern equipment, including long-range strike means, in order to reverse the military inferiority in the Ukrainian battlefield and expand the war in a sustainable way. It also handed over weapons of mass destruction to Israeli Zionists to instigate them to bloody massacres in the Gaza Strip.

If the weapons sold out by the U.S. to its allies in private, avoiding the eyes of the world people, are put together, the sales will reach an astronomical figure.

In retrospect, the U.S. has earned its geopolitical profit from turning various countries and regions of the world into hotspots and disputes by instigating its followers and worked at arms trade on a large scale under the pretext of "preventing disputes" to fill its money bags. It is the U.S. stereotyped method and selfish calculation method of killing two birds with one stone.

What merits attention is that the U.S. is getting ever more undisguised in its arms sale to the puppet ROK, top-class stooge and the first war servant.

A ceremony of handing over the U.S. latest sea-patrol planes took place in the puppet ROK in July last year. The U.S. approved the sale of latest attack helicopter AH-64E and related goods worth the 3.5 billion U.S. dollars to the puppet ROK in August and the sale of AWACS worth 4.92 billion U.S. dollars in November. All the facts go to prove that the U.S. moves to arm the ROK puppets with its weapons and drive them to confrontation and war with the DPRK are far beyond the danger level.

Such moves are going on in the new year, too. The U.S. officially notified the puppet ROK of two arms sales.

According to them, the arms sale includes the equipment worth a total of 170.6 million U.S. dollars including latest drones to be delivered to the puppet navy and the weapons parts 350 million U.S. dollars.

In this regard, the U.S. has long advertised that the introduction of weapons would make the puppet ROK “bolster up the deterrence and defense capabilities against threats” in the region.

The U.S. is getting more zealous in its huge arms support to the puppet ROK while talking about the so-called "improvement of security" and the "enhancement of military capabilities". Lurking behind this is the U.S. sinister intention to wreck the balance of strength in the region and consolidate its hegemonic position.

The puppet ROK has turned into a thoroughgoing anti-communist advanced base by the U.S., the most reactionary state entity regarding anti-communism as an invariable state policy. This reality clearly tells us which direction we should take, and what and how to do.

Any arms support of the U.S. can not save the puppet ROK from the destiny of the strategic inferiority, and the U.S. shameless and outrageous ambition for killing two birds with one stone which is getting ever more undisguised with each passing day will never be realized by the just strength of the DPRK. -0-
