DPRK's Nuclear Deterrent for Self-Defense Rodong Sinmun
Pyongyang, March 13 (KCNA) -- The DPRK's nuclear deterrent for self-defense is the best means of Kim Il Sung's nation and Kim Jong Il's Korea, says Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a bylined article.

It goes on:

The DPRK's access to nuclear deterrent put a definite end to the distress-torn history of the nation in which flunkeyism was regarded as a "lever for preserving the nation," the history of stateless nation in which it was deprived of sovereign right as it had no matchlock and it was unable to protect even the name of the country.

The U.S.-led imperialist reactionaries can no longer provoke the DPRK.

Its access to nuclear deterrent for self-defense enabled the Korean nation to live under clear and blue sky and hand a peaceful land to posterity.

The DPRK's emergence as nuclear weapons state made a breakthrough in the age-old world political structure centered on nuclear powers and made it possible for it to stand firm against the U.S. styling itself the "world's only superpower".

The DPRK emerged a strong power exerting great influence on the world politics and building an independent world order. It has also made it possible to wage a dynamic struggle against imperialism and the U.S.

The DPRK's nuclear deterrent serves as a means common to the nation for defending the territory of the whole of Korea, not just the DPRK, and protecting and glorifying all the Koreans in the north and the south.

All the service personnel and the people of the great Paektusan nation will never allow the nation's sovereignty and dignity to be infringed upon and the supreme interests of the country to be threatened.

Songun Korea is sure to emerge victorious as it is possessed of powerful nuclear deterrent, the article concludes.
