Japanese Reactionaries' Ambition to Stage Comeback to Korea
Pyongyang, July 20 (KCNA) -- Disclosed recently was a diplomatic document in which the Japanese government described the U.S. military bases in Okinawa as "deterrent" to cope with the "contingency on the Korean Peninsula" as early as from the 1960s. Fumihiko Togo, director for U.S. Affairs of the Foreign Ministry of Japan, in 1968 specified in the keynote of the speech for the Japan-U.S. high-level working consultation that as regards the role of the U.S. forces present in Okinawa "it was necessary to acquire potentiality to rapidly react to the situation on the Korean Peninsula." Rodong Sinmun Tuesday observes in a signed commentary in this regard:

This indicates that the Japanese reactionaries have long offered their territory as a logistic base for the U.S. in its aggression and war.

The sordid confab held between the U.S. and Japan over the role of the U.S military bases in Okinawa was nothing but a revelation of the black-hearted intentions of the U.S. to realize its ambition to dominate the world through the domination over the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese reactionaries to stage a comeback to Korea and realize their scenario for overseas aggression.

The Japanese reactionaries' offer of Okinawa to the U.S. as its logistic base is little short of joining in the U.S. imperialists' plan for military attack upon the DPRK.

When looking back on history, it has been a crafty method for Japan to invade other countries, depending on big powers. By this method Japan invaded Asian countries in the first half of the last century.

The U.S. military bases in Okinawa are operating as main springboards for realizing the U.S. imperialists' scenario for military aggression against the DPRK from A to Z.

The army and people of the DPRK will surely force Japan to pay a thousand-fold price for the crimes it committed against the Koreans century after century with the merciless retaliatory blows if it dares start military actions against the DPRK in collusion with the U.S. imperialists.
