DPRK's Measures for Bolstering Nuclear Force Are Inevitable: KCNA Commentary

Pyongyang, November 24 (KCNA) -- A military twitter of the U.S. recently opened to public that the U.S. has a secret underground nuclear warhead depot and B-1 bombers can drop nuclear warheads. The U.S. is now taking follow-up measures to put the situation under control by letting the media and experts claim that it was "wrong story" and "false assertion". A story carried by the U.S. website VOX on Nov. 16 said that the command in charge of nuclear warehouse in the U.S. on its twitter wrote on Nov. 15 that the U.S. has a secret underground nuclear warhead depot and B-1 bombers can drop nuclear warheads. What matters is that the U.S. media and experts immediately refuted the story, asserting that the U.S. has no secret garage like that and the assertion that B-1 bombers can drop nuclear warheads is false. The true nature of the U.S. as the biggest nuclear maniac can never be concealed just as a gimlet inside a plastic bag is bound to protrude. An expert on security in Asia commented that the U.S. twitter story proved the north Korean claim that B-1 bomber can drop nuclear weapon, adding this means that in case the U.S. forces fly B-1 bomber to the sky above the Korean peninsula for a drill next time, north Korea can take it as having been loaded with a nuclear weapon. It is not secret that B-1B and other nuclear strategic bombers are key force of the U.S. for containing big countries around the Korean peninsula like Russia and China in contingency. The NBC reported that the U.S. air force has set up a plan to let B-1B deployed on Guam attack the strategic targets of more than 20 medium and long-range ballistic missile bases, adding the plan can be put into practice by order of Trump. Now the U.S. is keeping the posture of mounting sudden attack through the frequent formation flights of B-1B and B-2 to the sky above south Korea while reviving the system of the round-the-clock flight sortie of strategic bomber B-52 equipped with nuclear weapons just as in the period of the Cold War. Even in October last the U.S. staged nocturnal flight drills with fighters of the Japan Air "Self-Defense Force" and the south Korean puppet air force after introducing two B-1Bs nuclear-capable strategic bombers into the sky above the East Sea of Korea. Through such reckless military provocations as the introduction of B-1B, nuclear submarine and nuclear carriers into the waters off the Korean peninsula, the U.S. dares try to provoke the DPRK and such military acts compel the DPRK to take military counteraction. The present situation clearly proves the inevitability of the DPRK's measures for bolstering the nuclear force to cope with the reckless nuclear war provocation of the U.S. and its followers. The greater nuclear threat the U.S. poses, the bolder steps the DPRK will take for nuclear deterrence for self-defense. -0-
