Rodong Sinmun Slashes at Japanese Authorities' Policy Subservient to US
Pyongyang, August 8 (KCNA) -- The Japanese government finally introduced "MV-22 Osprey", new-type VTOL transport of the U.S. forces, despite the strong protest and opposition of various circles at home. Shortly ago, the shipped transports were deployed at the Iwaguni U.S. base in Yamaguchi Prefecture.

Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a bylined commentary observes in this regard:

This is a product of Japan's attitude of yielding to the U.S. pressure.

"MV-22 Osprey" is being censured and rejected not only in the U.S. but in other countries for its frequent crashes.

Japanese people are trembling with fear that Ospreys may crash over their heads while flying.

The Japanese government is busy forming experts groups and the like under the plea of "confirming safety of the plane."

This is nothing but a foolish and ridiculous artifice to calm down the public anger even a bit.

The present Japanese authorities finally allowed the introduction of such plane after being driven to such political cliff. This is little short of digging their own graves.

Poor and pitiful is Japan's plight as it has to read its American master's face, subservient to him.

It is the intention of Japan to realize its ambition for turning itself into a military giant by pleasing the U.S. through the purchase of such transports.

It is, however, nothing but a pipedream for Japan to realize its scenarios for turning it into a military giant and realizing overseas expansion by pursuing such policy servile to the U.S.

The Japanese authorities would be well advised to behave themselves, cogitating what contempt and shame their policy would bring to their country and what consequences would be entailed by it.
