S. Korean Group's Sycophancy towards US Flayed
Pyongyang, August 14 (KCNA) -- Officials in charge of "sanctions against the north" of the U.S. Department of State and the Department of Treasury, during their recent tour of south Korea, pressurized south Korea to join the U.S. in the sanctions against Iran and demanded it freeze the funds at the Seoul branch of Mellate Bank of Iran as a primary target of sanctions.

The decision made by the conservative group to do so in pursuance of the U.S. policy is sparking great furor.

Rodong Sinmun Saturday observes in a signed commentary in this regard:

The collusion and tie-up that took place between the U.S. and the puppet group over the sanctions against Iran were prompted by their master-servant relationship and a product of the despicable deal made because of the bilateral interests.

The ulterior intention of the U.S. is to use south Korea as a shock brigade in applying sanctions against Iran in return for meeting the request made by the puppet group for tightening the "sanctions against the north", while going reckless in its moves to stifle fellow countrymen.

The above-said behavior of the puppet group betrayed once again its true colors as top class lackeys of the U.S. who unhesitatingly meet any demand of their master for stifling fellow countrymen though it is harmful to them.

Those forsaken by the country and the nation are without exception bound to seek a way out in depending on outside forces. But this will bring them nothing but disgrace, damage and insult.

He who digs a pit for others falls into it. For its pursuance of the U.S. policy, the group has been thrown into such a miserable position.

In order to realize its ambition to escalate the confrontation with countrymen the puppet group joined the U.S. in applying sanctions against Iran, even allowing itself to suffer a huge economic loss.

The more tightly the group of traitors clings to the coattails of outside forces, the bitterer hatred and resentment it will touch off among the south Koreans and other fellow countrymen and the further it will precipitate its self-destruction.
