Japan Urged to Drop Its Scenario for Preemptive Attack on DPRK
Pyongyang, October 30 (KCNA) -- To mount a preemptive attack on the DPRK at present only precipitates Japan's self-destruction and national ruin. The Japanese militarists should bear this in mind and refrain from rash acts, warns Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article.

The Japanese militarist forces are frantically pushing ahead with the militarist moves, persistently raising a hue and cry over the "nuclear and missile threat" from the DPRK, the article notes, and goes on:

The Japanese reactionaries are asserting that Japan should do its utmost to "defend" itself because the DPRK is "threatening Japan's security". This sheer sophism can never help them cover up their true colors as they consider a preemptive attack as a trite method of aggression.

It cites facts to prove that the Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, Japan's invasion of Manchuria of China, "the July 7 incident" and attack on Pearl Harbor were triggered off by preemptive attacks of the Japanese imperialists.

The Japanese imperialists perished in the flames kindled by themselves for making preemptive attacks.

Japan earned the ill fame of being a defeated state after the Second World War. However, it has rushed headlong into the revival of militarism and rearming with a wild ambition for revenge, far from drawing a bitter lesson from its defeat. It has emerged a dangerous war force equipped with modern armed forces for aggression.

The Japanese militarist forces, obsessed with their ambition for reinvasion, are waiting for an opportunity to mount a sudden preemptive attack on the DPRK. However, the Japanese reactionaries are making a serious miscalculation. If they dare attack the DPRK, failing to properly understand its mental power and military might, they will not escape a bitter defeat and disgrace.
