Pyongyang, May 25 (KCNA) -- The chief of the Policy Office of the Ministry of National Defence of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Saturday issued the following press statement titled "The security guarantee of the U.S. mainland depends on thoroughly giving up military threats and aggressive attempts against other countries": Recently, the U.S. military is hell-bent on inciting the "threat" from the DPRK to its mainland while attempting to increase the arms buildup on the largest scale. The Defense Intelligence Agency of the U.S. Department of Defense on May 13 issued a report on the "missile threats" from the DPRK and other major nuclear weapons states. It also made public the "2025 Worldwide Threat Assessment" report on May 20 to talk about the improvement of the capabilities of the enemy states to strike the U.S. mainland and the possibility of military cooperation. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the commander of the Northern Command, the commander of the Indo-Pacific Command and other officials concerned of the U.S. military are picking a quarrel with the DPRK's self-defensive measures for bolstering up its nuclear force on several occasions, unhesitatingly making provocative remarks hinting at the possibility of outbreak of a war with the DPRK. The U.S. military's worrying remarks timed to coincide with the U.S. administration's claiming of a military budget of more than one trillion U.S. dollars of astronomical figures and official announcement of the establishment of a new missile defense system are revelation of its extremely hegemony-oriented and adventurous military attempt to create the environment and conditions necessary for the greatest-ever arms buildup lacking in validity and rationality under the pretext of the so-called "threats" from other countries. After making public on establishing a new mainland missile defense system which will bring about the imbalance of global strategic stability, the U.S. administration announced a plan for comprehensively updating the three nuclear strategic strike means in the coming decade. Along with this, it is making redoubled efforts to expand and update the nuclear arsenal in a comprehensive way, including the first invention of new B61-13 nuclear gravity bomb and the rapid development and deployment of the nuclear-armed sea-launched cruise missile and B61-12, a new variant of a series of nuclear bomb B61. In April, the commander of the U.S. forces in the ROK made public the existence of a nuclear war plan with the DPRK. Such arbitrary practices of the U.S. to control the independent sovereign states with a nuclear-based military edge are becoming more undisguised. All the facts offer no room for argument who is the main target of the modernized U.S. nuclear force. What should not be overlooked is the fact that the U.S. Air Force Global Strike Command, this year, conducted the second test-fire of the Minuteman 3 intercontinental ballistic missile and described it as part of regular and periodic activity aimed at deterring the "threat" of the 21st century and setting its allies at ease. This is just like a guilty party filing the suit first. This is a gangster logic that the act itself is not a question, but the question is who the actor is. This is also a vivid manifestation of the illogical way of thinking that the U.S. demonstrative military actions are "defensive" and "deterrent" ones and that the DPRK's bolstering up of its self-defense capacity, legitimate self-defense, is a threat and provocation. The U.S. large-scale moves to bolster up its military capabilities under the pretext of coping with the "threat" from the enemy countries are another danger signal for the aspect of ensuring the peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region, including the Korean peninsula, and in the rest of the world and herald a security environment that will become more unstable. It is none other than the U.S. unreasonable military threat and blackmail and military muscle strengthening that caused and have steadily escalated the "external threat" to the U.S. mainland. The sure way to guarantee the security of the U.S. mainland is not to recklessly expand its military force, but to thoroughly abandon military threats to and aggressive attempts against other countries. We are strictly watching the U.S. nuclear arms buildup, which poses a grave threat to the ensuring of regional and global peace and security, and are making sustained and practical efforts to possess a war deterrent capable of actively coping with any security instability resulting from its nuclear arms buildup. The DPRK armed forces will thoroughly contain and control all sorts of military threats from the enemy countries in the future, too, and faithfully discharge their constitutional duty to reliably defend peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and in the region.
