Japan's Nuclear Weaponization Assailed
Pyongyang, April 8 (KCNA) -- Japan, the world's only nuclear victim, is stepping up nuclear weaponization and making desperate efforts to launch overseas aggression, oblivious of the bitter lesson drawn in the past. This is as foolish an act as inviting destruction, warns Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a signed commentary.

More facts are now being disclosed to prove Japan's criminal scenario to go nuclear for overseas aggression, the commentary observes, and goes on: The Japanese reactionaries' moves to massively stockpile plutonium can never be overlooked.

It is by no means fortuitous that Japan stepped up the development and test of large-scale carrier rockets in recent years.

Japan's massive stockpiling of plutonium is aimed at manufacturing nuclear weapons in real earnest any time it deems necessary.

Japan's nuclear weaponization is aimed to launch military overseas expansion.

Japan placed itself under a complete war system after eliminating almost all the institutional and legal mechanisms lying in the way of overseas military operations. This increases the gravity of Japan's nuclear weaponization. What is more dangerous is that the Japanese reactionaries are openly pushing forward their nuclear weaponization while putting spurs to their moves for emerging a military giant and overseas expansion under the pretext of "support to the U.S. anti-terrorist war."

The danger of Japan's moves for nuclear weaponization is becoming a reality. The Japanese militarists seek to attain their criminal purpose of reinvasion at any cost by wielding a nuclear stick, obsessed with extremely revanchist ambition to revenge the defeat they sustained in the past and desire for overseas expansion.

These moves are mainly targeted against the DPRK. To this end, the Japanese reactionaries keep trumpeting about "threat" from the DPRK in a bid to ignite a war.

Japan would be well advised to drop its dangerous nuclear scenario for its own sake.
