Describing this as a highly disturbing development, Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary says that the strengthened Japan-U.S. alliance called for by the U.S. and Japan means tightening the military nexus between the two countries. Saying that by strengthening the military tie-up with the U.S. Japan seeks to emerge as a military power with the backing of the U.S. and openly embark upon overseas aggression, the commentary continues: Japan is employing a crafty trick to increase the combat capability of its "self-defense forces" and lay a legal "groundwork" for overseas aggression, while talking about strengthened alliance and "defence cooperation" with the U.S. these can not be construed otherwise than very dangerous military moves. The Japanese reactionaries are taking great pains to realise their ambition to become a military power backed by the U.S. and realise their old dream of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere." It is the U.S. intention to realise its aggressive strategy toward Asia with Japan as a war servant. The military nexus between Japan and the U.S. is primarily targeted against the DPRK. It is their sinister intention to invade other Asian countries with the Korean peninsula as a springboard. The nexus is very detrimental to peace, security and prosperity of the Asia-Pacific region. The Asian people should be vigilant against the U.S.-Japan military nexus aimed at aggression and war and make efforts to curb it so as to prevent horrible disasters. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ______________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
