Pyongyang, March 18 (KCNA) -- The U.S. air force strategic commander recently called for developing new type nuclear weapons. This brings to light the U.S. imperialists" criminal scenario to realize their ambition for domination by securing an unchallenged edge in nuclear weaponry, observes Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in a signed commentary.
Accusing the U.S. warlike forces of having stepped up nuclear development in real earnest, considering preemptive nuclear attack as the main objective of their military strategy in the 21st century, the commentary notes that such development convinces other countries of the fact that it is possible to increase their ability for surviving in the stand-off with the U.S. only when they have powerful military deterrents.
The U.S. moves to develop new type nuclear weapons are arousing the vigilance of the Korean people, in particular, it says, and goes on:
The U.S. is busy with preparations for a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula after making its provocation a fait accompli. The moves escalated by it for the development of new type nuclear weapons against this backdrop assume graver and more dangerous nature. The above-said moves are, to all intents and purposes, prompted by its scheme to mount a surprise attack on the DPRK by taking advantage of its nuclear upper-hand.
The U.S. imperialists" moves for the development of those weapons only compel the Korean people to heighten their revolutionary vigilance and the DPRK to build up more powerful deterrent to cope with those moves.
