Rodong Sinmun Calls for All-out Action to Protect Its Sovereignty
Pyongyang, January 28 (KCNA) -- The all-out action declared by the DPRK is a just patriotic struggle to defend the sovereignty and dignity of the nation, Rodong Sinmun Monday says in a bylined article.

Forcing the DPRK to give up the right to satellite launch is little short of pressurizing it to abandon its sovereignty, the article says, and goes on:

The U.S. and the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors are seriously mistaken if they think they can frighten the army and people of the DPRK with "sanctions" and pressure. It is the steadfast will of all service personnel and people of the DPRK that it is better to live even a day, their chests thrown out, in defence of their independent dignity rather than living many years of servile life under other's pressure. The DPRK will as ever dynamically push forward the building of a thriving socialist nation, mercilessly meeting the blatant challenges of the enemies, thanks to the strong foundation of the self-supporting national economy, single-minded unity and might of the Songun politics.

Invariable is the stand of the DPRK to react to provocations with prompt counter blows and to a war of aggression with a just war for national reunification. The DPRK regards the "sanctions" as a war and declaration of war against it. If the south Korean group of traitors finally embarks upon implementing the "resolution on sanctions" in collusion with aggressor outside forces, defying the DPRK's warnings, it will never miss the golden chance.

Whoever hurts the sovereignty and dignity of the DPRK even a bit will never be safe wherever he is. It is the mettle of the powerful revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu to find out those who hurt the sovereignty and dignity of the nation and mercilessly punish them.
