Pyongyang, March 8 (KCNA) -- The National Peace Committee of Korea
released a memorandum Friday explaining how the nuclear issue spawned on
the Korean Peninsula, who is the arch criminal of the nuclear threat
and why the DPRK became to access the nuclear deterrence.
According to the memorandum, the nuclear issue on the Korean
Peninsula is attributable to the nuclear threat directly posed to the
DPRK by the U.S. which resorted to the war of aggression and hostile
policy toward the DPRK.
The document goes on:
The U.S. imperialists, which provoked the war for aggression of
Korea in June 1950, shipped nuclear weapons to south Korea in August
that year and at the end of the year openly disclosed its plan to drop
30-50 A-bombs in Korea-China border areas.
Eisenhower, U.S. president-elect at that time, blustered on May 13,
1953 that it will be more beneficial to use an atomic bomb rather than
conventional weapons in Korea when taking into account the financial
aspect.
After it sustained a shameful defeat in the Korean war, the U.S. has
viciously resorted to nuclear threats to the DPRK, pursuant to its
moves for a new war.
The U.S. set out for nuclear weaponization of its forces present in
south Korea. It reorganized its forces' division into Pentomic A-bomb
Division equipped with tactical nuclear weapons and introduced Honest
John nuclear missile battalion and 280 mm atomic artillery pieces
battalion.
In 1958 the U.S. brought 588 tactical guided missile battalion of
the U.S. air force and set up the 4th guided missile command of the U.S.
forces.
Entering the 1960s, the U.S. renamed Pentomic A-bomb Division ROAD
Division and introduced to south Korea atomic and guided weapons with
various missions.
After the Vietnamese war in the mid-1970s, the U.S. declared south
Korea as an area for defending front and pressed for the policy for
turning south Korea into a nuclear base.
Member of the U.S. House of Representatives Ronald, speaking at a
parliament, confessed that the U.S. shipped more than 1 000 nuclear
weapons to south Korea and deployed 54 airplanes for carrying nuclear
bombs.
In the 1980s the U.S. spurred the modernization of the nuclear hardware of its forces in south Korea.
Early in the 1980s the U.S. deployed 31 155mm nuclear shells, 133
nuclear bombs for air use, 63 nuclear shells for 8 inch howitzers and 21
nuclear land mines before any other base of its forces overseas.
South Korea turned into the world's biggest nuclear outpost with the
stockpile of nuclear weapons such as bombs, shells, warheads, land
mines and carrier means as well as nuclear bases and arsenals.
The U.S. nuclear threats were vividly manifested in its open declaration to use nuclear weapons in Korea.
In January 1968 when the U.S. imperialists' armed spyship "Pueblo"
was captured, the U.S. reviewed the nuclear attack plan. When the spy
plane EC-121 was brought down from the sky above Korea in April 1969,
the U.S. put tactical bombers mounted with nuclear weapons on standby
and the then U.S President Nixon said that he approved the use of A-bomb
in case Korea makes counterattack.
When the Korean Peninsula was almost in the state of "emergency" in
2002, the U.S. made the preemptive nuclear attack on the DPRK a fait
accompli by granting the U.S. forces' first use of nuclear weapons. It
even asserted that it will develop smaller nuclear weapons for
destroying underground facilities.
The present Obama administration has steadily increased nuclear
threats, putting the DPRK in the list of preemptive nuclear attack
targets.
The U.S. at the 41st annual security consultative meeting in 2009
with the south Korean puppet forces made public a joint press release in
which it promised the offer to south Korea of the nuclear umbrella,
capacity for striking with conventional weapons, a missile shield and
other extended deterrence.
The U.S. forces and the south Korean forces worked out a number of
scenarios for invading the DPRK and pushed forward the moves to put big
and annual joint military drills including Key Resolve, Foal Eagle and
Ulji Freedom Guardian into an actual war every year.
The memorandum disclosed the south Korean puppet forces as a
chieftain that increased the danger of a nuclear war on the Korean
Peninsula and hampered the solution to the nuclear issue in league with
the U.S.
The successive puppet regimes of south Korea connived at and
encouraged the U.S. shipment of nuclear weapons to south Korea and
actively joined the U.S. in its moves for a nuclear war against the
DPRK.
In the 1980s, traitor Chun Doo Hwan in alignment with the U.S.
brought to south Korea a neutron bomb called the "weapon of evil in the
20th century".
The puppet forces fully entrusted the U.S. with the right to use the nuclear weapons deployed in south Korea.
They formed the extended deterrence policy committee with the U.S.
and agreed to hold exercises for using the extended deterrence means.
Since 2011 they have put them into practice.
They have pushed forward the development of nuclear weapons in
secrecy while taking an active part in the U.S. moves for a nuclear war.
The Park Chung Hee military dictatorial regime, in particular, laid
out a nuclear weapons development plan and mulled processing nuclear
fuel in 1969. It formed a nuclear and missile development team in 1974
and arranged nuclear fuel development area in 1976.
In September 1978, it test-fired ground to ground missile Paekgom
capable of mounting nuclear warheads developed by the defense scientific
research institute.
In November 1985, it completed the construction of a facility for
extracting plutonium and put it into full operation from 1987.
South Korea directed efforts into the development of nuclear weapons
delivery means as evidenced by the development of 256km range ground to
ground missile Hyonmu capable of carrying out nuclear warheads and
their deployment for an actual war in 1987.
It is openly calling for "nuclear weaponization" now.
It has viciously obstructed the negotiations for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
Traitor Kim Young Sam resorted to the whole gamut of machinations to
break down the DPRK-U.S. negotiations by currying favor with the U.S.
The cursed traitor Lee Myung Bak group threw hurdles in the way of
the DPRK-U.S. talks, claiming that the "nuclear issue of the north" is
destroying the peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and
obstructing the efforts for the development of the south-north
relations.
The Lee Myung Bak group called the DPRK's peaceful satellite launch
"a long-range missile launch" till the last moments of its office and
worked with bloodshot eyes to materialize international "sanctions"
citing the launch as a pretext.
The memorandum said that the DPRK's access to nuclear deterrence for
self-defence was entirely attributable to the U.S. and its stooge south
Korean puppet forces.
The DPRK has constantly called for the withdrawal of the U.S.
nuclear weapons since their shipment to south Korea and always
maintained that the Korean Peninsula be denuclearized while working hard
for the solution to the nuclear issue.
Far from responding to the DPRK's sincere efforts, the U.S. prodded
some circles of the International Atomic Energy Agency to create sort of
"discrepancy" of nuclear materials and forced the DPRK to receive
special inspection. It also resumed Team Spirit joint military exercises
and openly increased the danger of a nuclear war.
The DPRK has made sincere efforts for the settlement of the nuclear
issue on the peninsula through direct talk with the U.S. directly
responsible for the issue.
The DPRK's efforts for the peaceful settlement of the nuclear issue
through dialogue have faced a serious challenge as junior Bush
administration took power in the U.S.
The U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK has remained unchanged under the present Obama government.
The Obama administration kicked up anti-DPRK nuclear racket, calling
the DPRK's peaceful satellite launch that was recognized by
international law "a long-range missile launch". This made the nuclear
issue on the Korean Peninsula more serious one.
The situation eloquently proves that the DPRK was just when it
decided to access nuclear deterrence for self-defence to cope with the
U.S. nuclear threats.
The memorandum warned that the U.S. and the south Korean puppet
forces should know that they will get nothing but destruction and
disaster for their provocative anti-DPRK nuclear racket. -0-
