Actualité - U.S. Criminal Scenario for Invasion of DPRK under Fire

January 27 (KCNA) - The U.S. imperialists' attempt to step up the "reorganization of the UN Command" under the pretext of the transfer of the "right to command wartime operation" behind the curtain of "dialogue" and "peace" clearly reveals their sinister intention to perpetuate their military domination over south Korea and realize their adventurous scenario for invasion of the DPRK. Rodong Sinmun Saturday observes this in a signed commentary. It goes on:

The commander of the U.S. imperialist aggressor troops in south Korea, addressing a news conference with foreign correspondents in south Korea on Jan. 18, talked about the "reorganization of the UN Command." His utterances raise two points that merit attention.

First, the U.S. loudmouthed transfer of the "right to command wartime operation" is, in fact, nothing but an empty talk because its real aim is to continue exercising the right to control the south Korean army by reinforcing the "UN Command."

The commander of the U.S. forces in south Korea this time vociferated about the need for the "commander of the UN force" to retain "the right to command operations" and "maintain his position." This means the U.S. intends to transfer the "right to command wartime operation" for form's sake and to continue exercising, in actuality, "the right to command operations" of the south Korean army in the capacity of the "commander of the UN force."

His remarks on the "reorganization of the UN Command" prove that the U.S. does not intend to transfer the above-said right and the much touted transfer is nothing but a charade to check the movement for independence against the U.S. mounting in south Korea.

Lurking behind the U.S. imperialists' scheme for the "reorganization of the UN Command" as regards the transfer of the above-mentioned right is a criminal aim to speed up the preparations for a war against the DPRK and use the south Korean army as a shock brigade for a war against the DPRK.

The U.S. imperialist warmongers have long worked hard to revive and reinforce the defunct "UN Command," talking about "the increased role" of the countries which participated in the Korean war and "the formation of a multi-national staff" capable of closing the ranks of their allies. The U.S. imperialists are keen to put the south Korean army under "the new combined command system" of the above-said multi-national mechanism for invasion of the DPRK under the pretext of the transfer of the "right to command wartime operation." The U.S. moves to reorganize and reinforce the "UN Command" for the purpose of igniting the second Korean war and place the south Korean army under it go to prove that it is keen to force south Korea to fall victim to the nuclear war against the DPRK.

The "UN Command" should not be "reorganized" but be completely dismantled. The U.S. imperialist aggressor troops should quit south Korea at an early date, taking with them all their nuclear war hardware.
