US nuclear stick can never work in Asia-Pacific region: KCNA commentary

The US, which recently received hundreds of millions of US dollars from Australia according to the AUKUS nuclear submarine agreement, showed its moves to provide Virginia-class nuclear submarines to Australia.

This is not just a simple money deal but a full-scale operation of another nuclear alliance with the US as the principal axis. It is a dangerous attempt to further deteriorate the unstable political and military environment in the Asia-Pacific region.

As everybody knows, the US, obsessed with the ambition for establishing hegemony, set it as its main goal to contain and encircle nuclear states in the Asia-Pacific region and has been keen on the moves to organize the nuclear alliance for its attainment.

It organized a confrontational entity AUKUS, the Anglo-Saxon nuclear submarine alliance, under the pretext of the so-called "tripartite security cooperation" while bringing down the international nuclear non-proliferation system. This is a link in the whole chain of such moves.

The fact that the special security agreement was signed between the three parties to share the latest military technologies including nuclear submarine technology after the birth of AUKUS clearly proves the dangerous nature of the military bloc.

Against this backdrop, the present US administration is actively pushing ahead with the provision of nuclear submarines to Australia.

Such moves of the US gravely threatening regional peace and stability are becoming a matter of serious concern.

The US already cooked up the "nuclear operation guidelines" with the puppet ROK and promised that nuclear weapons are included in the "offer of extended deterrence" to Japan. Like this, it has turned the US-Japan-ROK tripartite military cooperation system into a thorough nuclear alliance.

Now, there is a threatening entity called the US-Japan-ROK tripartite nuclear alliance. Under such situation, if another nuclear alliance has its own structure perfectly, the US will get a multilayer nuclear encirclement ring against its "enemies" in the Asia-Pacific region.

It is quite clear at which the US, regarding the DPRK and other nuclear states in the region as a "stumbling block" to the establishment of its hegemony and taking great pains to remove it, would take the aim of those aggressive military blocs' simultaneous attack.

The US should ponder over the consequences to be entailed by such military adventurist act aimed at bringing nuclear clouds to the Asia-Pacific region at any cost.

The US nuclear stick can never work in the Asia-Pacific region.

Can nuclear states in the region remain a passive onlooker to the US’ reckless moves?
