US-Japan Dangerous Military Nexus Assailed
Pyongyang, December 18 (KCNA) -- Half a century since the "U.S.-Japan security pact" was revised witnessed the U.S. and Japanese reactionaries' moves for aggression and war and their military provocations against the DPRK and interference in its internal affairs, observes Rodong Sinmun Saturday in a signed article.

Citing facts to prove this, the article goes on:

This year, too, the U.S. and Japan reexamined and newly amended the "U.S.-Japan Defense Cooperation Guidelines" adopted in 1997 and the U.S.-Japan joint operation plan 5055 in "contingency" on the Korean Peninsula announced in 2004 as part of the moves to put the "U.S.-Japan security system" on a new stage.

The aim sought by the Japanese reactionaries through the revision of the "U.S.-Japan Defense Cooperation Guidelines" is to mobilize all troops of the "Self-Defense Forces" in "contingency" on the peninsula as requested by the U.S. imperialists and hurl them into an offensive against the DPRK.

The same aim was sought by the U.S. and Japanese reactionaries through their move to rewrite the U.S.-Japan joint operation plan 5055 which specifies operation plans to be carried out under the simulated conditions of "contingency" on the Korean Peninsula and operation means and methods to start a war and striking methods, etc. Their objective was to review various military operation plans worked out to ignite a new war in Korea and round off their scenario for the second Korean war on its basis.

What merits attention in tightening the U.S.-Japan military nexus is that they accelerated the joint development of the missile defense system and its deployment.

The U.S.-Japan joint military exercises were staged for the purpose of mounting a preemptive attack on the DPRK from A to Z. In other words, they were conducted under the simulated conditions of an actual war within the framework of the triangular military alliance grouping the U.S., Japan and south Korea.

The U.S. imperialists staged DPRK-targeted war exercises one after another in the air and on the land and in the seas of south Korea and Japan with huge armed forces of their followers and mobile strike force of aircraft carrier involved under such tense situation where a war may break out any moment. This saber-rattling was staged according to the U.S. "Gunboat Diplomacy", horror strategy and scenario for the second Korean war.

The U.S. and Japanese reactionaries had better behave themselves, bearing in mind that their moves to tighten the military nexus for aggression would get them nowhere.
