U.S. Urged to Draw Lesson from Its Defeat in Korean War
Pyongyang, June 24 (KCNA) -- The armed provocations perpetrated by the U.S. imperialists in areas along the 38th parallel were premeditated military actions to ignite an all-out war in the light of their scale, persistency and repetition, etc. and a prelude to the Korean war. The U.S. imperialists were the arch criminals who masterminded these provocations and with no rhetoric can they cover up the criminal nature of those actions.

Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says this in a signed article.

It cites facts to prove that the U.S. imperialists which had been greedy for the Korean Peninsula since long time ago occupied south Korea after the second World War, established a system of "military rule" and worked hard to provoke a war in a bid to dominate the whole of Korea.

The article goes on:

The aim sought by the U.S. imperialists in perpetrating ceaseless armed provocations against the northern half of Korea in areas along the 38th parallel was to help the south Korean puppet army build actual combat capability so that it might be used as bullet-shields for them during the war of aggression against the north, weaken the defence by the Korean security forces stationed there and spy on the military forces of the north and their deployment. Through these acts they also sought the aim to aggravate the situation in an effort to create conditions favorable for launching a war and go over to an all-out war when their ceaseless armed provocations prove successful.

The U.S. imperialists started the Korean war while going busy with armed provocations against the DPRK at that time but drank a bitter cup of defeat. Instead of drawing a lesson from it, they are getting frantic with the moves to provoke the second Korean war, obsessed with their ambition for aggression of Korea, the article notes, and warns:

If the U.S. imperialists misjudge the strength and will of the DPRK's army and people and ignite a new war at any cost, they will suffer a more disgraceful defeat than what they did during the Korean war in the 1950s.
