Increase in Military Budget of S. Korean Puppets Slashed: Rodong Sinmun
Pyongyang, December 22 (KCNA) -- Recently, the south Korean puppet forces increased next year's "defence budget" in a massive scale vociferating about the "nuclear threat" and "realization of an overwhelming military superiority". In the 2018 "military budget" passed in the puppet National Assembly, "defence budget" increased by 7% as compared with this year. This is the highest since 2009 when traitor Lee Myung Bak was in power.

Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun on Friday says that it is a reckless move to seek the military confrontation with the DPRK to the last while accelerating the preparation of a war of aggression in collusion with the outside forces.

The commentary says that this increase in the "defence budget" is aimed to purchase the U.S. weapons in a massive scale as wanted by Trump, adding:

The south Korean puppets' attempt to buy lots of deadly war equipment from the U.S. by wasting large amounts of blood taxes is the foul act of pro-U.S. sycophancy and treachery which benefits their master by sacrificing the interests of the south Korean people.

The present puppet ruling forces are paying lip-service to "dialogue", "peace" and "restoration of south-north relations," but their rhetoric is none other than a shameless act to cover up their belligerent nature which is little different than that of the war maniacs Lee Myung Bak and Park Geun Hye traitors.

The military confrontation racket of the south Korean war maniacs against the DPRK will only fuel war hysteria of the Trump clan and lead to the disaster of nuclear war.
