US Anti-North Korea Propaganda

by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org - Home - Stephen Lendman)

US hostility toward North Korea is all about its freedom from imperial control.

It's unrelated to alleged threats from its ruling authorities that don't exist.

Since the Korean peninsula was divided post-WW II, the DPRK never attacked another nation.

It threatens none now — except in self-defense against aggression, its legitimate UN Charter right.

North Korea is an invented US enemy, not a real one.

Its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile capabilities are solely for defense.

They're deterrents against possible US aggression.  

DPRK ruling authorities know that what happened in the early 1950s can repeat because of US imperial rage to dominate other countries, including by brute force.

On Thursday, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said Pyongyang launched two ballistic missiles that landed outside Japan's exclusive economic zone.

Claiming the test launches threaten regional security defy reality.

Yet the Kyodo news agency reported that Japan is holding an emergency National Security Council meeting in response to the tests.

They were the first North Korean ballistic missiles launched since March 2020.

An unnamed Biden regime official confirmed the launch, saying the Pentagon and US intelligence are analyzing the tests.

It's unclear if short, intermediate or long-range missiles were launched.

According to South Korea's Yonhap news agency, the country's military confirmed "at least one unidentified projectile" launched by North Korea.

In response to provocative US/South Korean military exercises near its territory, Pyongyang condemned them and launched several short-range missiles last weekend.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's sister Kim Yo-jong slammed ongoing US/South Korean military drills, saying:

If Seoul "resort(s) to more provocative acts, we may take a special measure of resolutely abrogating even the north-south military agreement," adding:

"Perhaps they are expecting 'flexible judgment' and 'understanding' from us but it is, indeed, ridiculous, impudent and stupid."

"War drills and hostility can never go with dialogue and cooperation."

Weeks earlier in a joint Biden regime/South Korea press release, their foreign ministers agreed on pushing for denuclearization of North Korea, calling it a matter of urgency.

Ignored was nuclear armed and dangerous USA and its key imperial partners.

They pose an unprecedented threat to world peace — in sharp contrast to North Korea threatening no one.

Its KCNA news agency earlier slammed Biden, calling him a "rabid dog (in) the final stage of dementia."

As part of its propaganda drumbeat against nations free from US control, the NYT called North Korea's missile tests "a show of force, raising tensions to gain leverage as the Biden (regime) finalizes its review of Washington's North Korea policy," adding: 

"It was a warning to Washington that North Korea will follow up with more provocative tests (sic), involving longer-range missiles, depending on whether Biden decides to adopt more sanctions, engage in dialogue or a mix of both in dealing with the country's growing nuclear and missile threats (sic)."

Weeks earlier, North Korea's leadership announced plans to upgrade its nuclear capabilities.

It's developing miniaturized nuclear warheads, tactical nuclear weapons, multiple independently-targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs), solid-fuel ballistic missiles of varying ranges, nuclear propulsion systems for submarines, and hypersonic weapons.

Kim Jong-un stressed the importance of strengthening the country's ability to deter aggressors from launching attacks.

If the above capabilities are developed, they'll be powerful deterrents against possible US aggression.
