US Accused of Escalating Arms Race
Pyongyang, January 28 (KCNA) -- A new arms race now under way in the international arena is entirely attributable to the U.S. policy of military hegemony and strength, observes Rodong Sinmun Thursday in a signed commentary.

The U.S. is frantically stepping up the development, production and deployment of new type modern weapons in a sinister bid to realize its wild ambition for world domination, counting on its upperhand of strength, the commentary says, and goes on:

By rounding off the establishment of the missile defense (MD) system the U.S. seeks to put the world within the range of its missile attack and mount a preemptive attack on any country any time.

The U.S. claims that the MD is aimed at "protecting" the Mideast and Europe from "a missile threat" from some countries. This is nothing but sheer sophism to cover up its aggressive and criminal nature.

It is now busy increasing military pressure upon the DPRK and a number of countries in the Mideast and Latin America and laying a military siege to the Eurasian Continent through the expansion of the NATO towards the east. This is escalating the international tension to an extreme phase and driving the world to an uncontrollable arms race and another Cold War.

The U.S. madcap arms expansion is designed to step up its policy of aggression and military supremacy.

It is describing its intensified moves for aggression and military intervention including arms buildup and the establishment of the MD as moves for its "security" and the "protection" of its allies. This is nothing but a charade intended to misrepresent injustice as justice.

With no rhetoric can the U.S. cover up its true colors as the arch criminal escalating the arms race and international tension and disturbing the world peace and security.
