"Even those countries taking permanent seats at the UNSC sided with the U.S. in adopting the 'resolution', overpowered by its high-handed practices. Their behaviors tell the DPRK that it should counter the U.S. only with strength," Kim Hyon Jin, an officer of the Korean People's Army (KPA), told KCNA.

He further said:

"Any sanctions do not work on the DPRK. The tightened 'sanctions' against the DPRK will only give vent to surging indignation of its people.

The U.S.-led hostile forces should not run amuck, mindful that the KPA is in full readiness to fight a sacred war for justice.

This year will mark the 60th anniversary of the Korean people's victory in the Fatherland Liberation War (July 27, 1953). The KPA will deal a telling blow to the U.S. imperialists so that they dare not provoke the DPRK any longer, and thus adorn the anniversary with another victory in the showdown with them."

Ju Ki Chol, a worker of the Chollima Steel Complex, said:

"We, workers, are thirsting for revenge on the U.S. seeking to disarm the DPRK and overthrow its social system.

We have a proud history of victory in the showdown with the U.S. In the 1950s the young DPRK won an all-out war with the U.S., which was boasting of being 'the strongest' in the world.

Today the DPRK has turned into a power in space science and there is nothing to be afraid of. The military might of Songun Korea should be displayed to them to significantly mark the 60th anniversary of the victory in the war."
