Kono Taro

By KCNAJapan still goes foolish.Days ago, Japanese Defense Minister Kono, terming the DPRK's measure for increasing capabilities for self-defense a "ballistic missile launch", solicited for international support. On Dec. 21 he again ranted about "imminent threat from north Korea" aboard the escort warship Izumo re-modeled into an aircraft carrier.This stems from his deep-seated hostility toward the DPRK.Explicitly speaking once again, the military measures taken by the DPRK are the exercise of the legitimate right of a sovereign state to self-defence, and no one is qualified to find fault with it.Moreover, the issue which Japan has become clamorous about is the test-fire of multiple rocket launcher and even a mere child knows that it poses no threat to the island nation.Nonetheless, Japan is instigating the international pressure on the DPRK under the pretext of the unreasonable "threat". This shows that it seeks a sordid intention, not the security of its country and region.As known, until recently it has zealously called for dialogue, taking the stand that the test-fire of the super-large multiple launch rocket system of the DPRK has no influence on the security of Japan.But this is just a petty trick to get rid of the miserable situation of being sidelined in the world political trend which moves with the DPRK in the center.Actually Japan, trumpeting about "dialogue without preconditions" with the DPRK, has doggedly called for sanctions, solicited for increased pressure in the international arena and become more undisguised in its ill military moves.What is astonishing is the stupid daydream of Japan reckoning that it can still deceive the international community and push ahead with its moves for militarist reinvasion with the hackneyed "threat from north Korea".What an ignorant and stupid idea it is.It is useless for Japan to keep raving about "threat" and "provocation".Japan's shameless and narrow-minded behavior turning black into white and acting flippantly will only make its miserable entity as a political dwarf stand out.Japan should not run amuck, well aware of whom its rival is.(KCNA - December 24, 2019)
