Rodong Sinmun Japan Blasted over VTOL Transport Plane
Pyongyang, June 22 (KCNA) -- Japan is about to allow the deployment of U.S. vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) transport plane in the Futenma military base, according to Rodong Sinmun Wednesday.

The paper said that the U.S., utterly indifferent to the demand of the people in Okinawa, seeks to boost the military and strategic function of the base and use it for realizing its ambition of military supremacy.

The U.S. says the deployment would help increase the combat capability of the U.S. Marines in Taiwan Strait and on the Korean Peninsula in case of "contingency" and that it is necessary to militarily contain the DPRK and China, the paper said in a commentary, adding:

What matters here is Japan's servile attitude to the U.S.

Far from demanding the closure of the U.S. military bases in Japan, the Japanese authorities are thinking of explaining the location of a substitute facility for the Futenma airfield and its construction method to the inhabitants after they are confirmed at the "Japan-U.S. Security Consultation".

The Japanese people accuse their politicians of bowing to the U.S. pressure.

Japan tries to poke its nose in international affairs, talking about "independent diplomacy" even though it blindly dances to the tune of the U.S.
