KCNA Commentary Urges U.S. to Come out with New Way of Thinking and New Strategy

Pyongyang, April 5 (KCNA) -- The U.S. House of Representatives is mulling passing a "bill on escalating sanctions with respect to transactions relating to North Korea". The bill the keynote of which is to seek the sinister intention of totally excluding the DPRK from the international financial system is nothing new as it is part of a series of the U.S. persistent moves for stifling it through sanctions. However, the U.S. is making much fuss, advertising it as if it were of significance. This is nothing but a ridiculous farce staged by those who are frightened by the daily increasing political and military might of the DPRK. The U.S. modified and supplemented the "North Korea Sanctions and Policy Enhancement Act of 2016" of the Obama administration which admitted a total failure in its DPRK policy. This fact reveals that the U.S. is resorting to the last expedient. No matter how hard the U.S. may beat the worn-out drum for sanctions, it cannot sound properly. The U.S. "doctrine of sanctions being all-powerful" has already gone totally bust in this land and the "doctrine of useless sanctions" against the DPRK is heard even among the hostile forces. Sanctions will never work on the DPRK. The U.S. does not need any "new bill" but a new way of thinking and a new strategy. -0-
