‘Nuclear war killer’ US stirring pot with China and Russia by preparing for conflict, North Korea says

Kim Kwang-myong, whom KCNA described as a researcher at the Foreign Ministry’s Institute for Disarmament and Peace, accused the US of stoking regional tension with its nuclear programme and blamed it for strategic instability destroying world peace.

“The US, the world’s biggest nuclear weapons state and the world’s first nuclear user which adopted the pre-emptive nuclear attack on other countries as its national policy, is talking about ‘nuclear threat’ from someone. This is a sophism,” Kim said.

Kim said Washington was seeking to improve its pre-emptive nuclear strike capability against North Korea by building a missile defence system, while sending strategic assets to the region and “ultra-modern military hardware” to its allies.

“The reality urgently requires the DPRK, which is standing in confrontation with the US imperialism, the most aggressive nuclear war criminal force, to bolster up its self-defensive military capabilities for deterring a nuclear war,” Kim said.

DPRK, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, is North Korea’s official name.

“The reality goes to prove once again that the dark clouds of a dreadful thermonuclear war can never be wiped out as long as the US, a heinous nuclear war killer which regards nukes as the key for its hegemonic foreign policy, exists,” Kim said.
