Rodong Sinmun Hits at Japan's Moves to Revive Militarism
Pyongyang, May 17 (KCNA) -- The world peace-loving people should be vigilant against the Japanese reactionaries' moves to revive militarism and frustrate them through a resolute struggle. This call is made by Rodong Sinmun Thursday in a bylined article.

The Japanese reactionaries have left no means untried to replace the "Pacifist Constitution" with a war constitution, the article notes, and goes on:

The Japanese "Self-Defense Forces" have accumulated experience in overseas invasion through their involvement in overseas military operations, pursuant to the U.S. scenario of "anti-terror war". At the same time, Japan has frantically pushed forward its moves to emerge a military power under the strong patronage of the U.S., its master.

By giving spurs to the modernization of the SDF Japan has beefed up its military muscle so fast that it may match that of other capitalist countries.

The group visit of high-ranking politicians of Japan to Yasukuni Shrine is a revelation of its ulterior design to make the militarist fever reign in the Japanese society.

What merits a serious attention is that the campaign negating Japan's past history was spearheaded by some media nudged by ultra-right conservative forces in the past but now it is orchestrated by the government.

Such dangerous moves of Japan to emerge a military giant are putting regional peace and stability in peril and spawning complicated issues.

While putting spurs to the above-said moves in collusion with the U.S., the Japanese reactionaries are noisily trumpeting about someone's "threat" in a poor bid to cover up their criminal nature.

The Japanese reactionaries are set to embark upon the road of overseas invasion by launching aggression against the DPRK and realize their ambition for dominating Asia and, furthermore, conquering the rest of the world.
