U.S. Urged to Halt Moves for MD
Pyongyang, October 5 (KCNA) -- The United States is advertising its missile defence system (MD) as a "shield" for warding off "attack" not as a spear for hurting others in a bid to justify its frantic moves to establish the MD. This is, however, sheer sophism. Rodong Sinmun Sunday observes this in a signed article.

It goes on:

The moves stepped up by the U.S. to build missile shields are aimed to dominate the world by dint of military edge.

It is the invariable strategic goal and wild ambition of the U.S. to put the world under its control and domination.

The U.S. adopted a new strategy for preemptive strike as a national policy and is keen to use the MD for carrying it out.

The U.S. MD is linked with its scenario for world supremacy. This is proved by the fact that it unilaterally pulled out of the ABM Treaty.

Accordingly, the U.S. is pushing forward the moves for the MD in real earnest, not bound to international law.

The U.S. talk about "military threat" from other countries is nothing but rhetoric intended to play down the criminal nature of its MD and justify it.

The U.S. imperialists are so vociferously calling for building missile shields in a bid to contain independent countries and big powers and hold world hegemony by dint of nuclear superiority.

The U.S. seeks to further expand its military bloc for aggression through the MD.

It is their intention to build missile shields under the pretext of "threat" from the DPRK and other anti-U.S. and independent countries.

By stepping up the moves to establish the MD under the pretence of "threat" from the DPRK the U.S. seeks to pose increased military threat to it and mount a preemptive missile attack on it any moment and thus stifle it.

It is working hard to plug various countries into an arms race under the motto of building missile shields. This is intended to contain the "potential enemies" with ease by wearing down their strength.

The above-said moves for MD are sparking off a new Cold War and straining the international situation.

It is an anachronistic daydream for the U.S. to try to realize its wild ambition for world domination by building a global network of missile shields.
