Political Researcher on Essence of DPRK-U.S. Confrontation

Pyongyang, December 15 (KCNA) -- O Ryong Chol, a researcher of the World Politics Study Center of the DPRK Institute for International Studies, released a commentary titled "Essence of DPRK-U.S. Confrontation Should Be Looked Squarely" on Thursday. The essence of the present situation on the Korean peninsula and the DPRK-U.S. confrontation has been seriously distorted due to the U.S. false propaganda against the DPRK and its followers' rhetoric about cooperation, the commentary noted. The DPRK-U.S. confrontation is the one between the U.S. resorting to the extreme hostile policy and nuclear threat and blackmail for more than half a century and the DPRK striving hard to defend the sovereignty and rights to existence and development, it said, and went on: Pro-American allies staking their fate on pursuance of the U.S., big countries seeking to promote their national interests and maintain the order-led by them through cooperation with the U.S., and some countries who mistake the pursuance of the U.S. as a global trend have irresponsibly chimed in with it. This has created a false feeling that the confrontation between the DPRK and the U.S. is the one between the DPRK and the international community. Those allies of the U.S. would be well advised to seriously ponder over what they can get and what they can lose from their pursuance of the U.S. If they poke their nose in the DPRK-U.S. confrontation while touting "obligation as allies" even though they are not properly reading the essence of the situation on the Korean peninsula, they can never evade the same fate as that was met by Mussolini and Tojo who pursued fascist dictatorial lunatic Hitler in the past century. They should clearly remember this, though belatedly. Time has come for those countries taking advantage of the U.S. line without principle to come to their senses. Things, called for by the "superpower" and supported by its followers, do not always become trend and any "resolution" of the UN Security Council adopted under the pressure of the "superpower" does never represent the "will of the international community". The DPRK-U.S. confrontation can never come to an end unless the U.S. hostile policy and nuclear threat to the DPRK, its source, is terminated. Therefore, any country, if it truly wants global peace and security, should clearly discern the present situation on the Korean peninsula and the trend of the times and exercise its influence and pressure on the U.S. so that it gives up the hostile policy toward the DPRK and nuclear threat and blackmail against it, before it becomes too late. -0-
