U.S. Accused of Seeking Monopoly of Space
Pyongyang, October 16 (KCNA) -- It was reported that the two military satellites launched by the United States recently would provide its missile shield with the capability for tracking ballistic missiles worldwide and information transmitted by the sensors of the satellites would be used by the U.S forces for intercepting missiles.

Minju Joson Friday observes in a signed commentary in this regard:

This goes to prove that the U.S. strategic scenario to get a monopoly of space in a bid to establish military hegemony and put the world under its domination by force of arms has entered the phase of its implementation.

To this end the U.S. is making much fuss about "missile threat" from someone in an effort to use this as a pretext for deploying a missile shield in space.

It is the calculation of the U.S. that by unilaterally rounding off and expanding the missile defence system without let-up it will be able to neutralize other powers' retaliatory capabilities and other means and reinforce its military hegemony.

The U.S. is, at the same time, openly deploying a missile shield in space under its military scenario and stepping up the development of satellites equipped with interceptor missiles in real earnest.

The arms race sparked by the U.S. through its launch of the military satellites at a time when the world is making positive efforts to create a peaceful environment cannot be interpreted otherwise than a blatant challenge to humankind's desire for peace and a criminal act of seriously threatening and wrecking the global peace and security.

The U.S. is seeking not global peace and security but aggression, war and showdown of strength.

With nothing can the U.S. justify its policy of arms race and moves for a war of aggression.
