Nork Press Takes Up Martial Rhetoric |
2009-05-30 |
An official North Korean newspaper on Thursday said a "tense touch-and-go situation is being created" on the Korean Peninsula by the South Korean government's decision to join the Proliferation Security Initiative, a U.S.-led anti-proliferation regime, and UN discussions of possible sanctions against the North. "A minor accidental clash could lead to a nuclear war," the paper warned in a commentary titled "Prelude to a War of Northward Invasion." It defends North Korea's nuclear development, saying, "There is no choice but to further intensify deterrence for self defense to prevent warmongers from attempting to provoke new wars." A South Korean official said North Korea is apparently trying to register its protest against outside pressure as well as keep its own population in line with such rhetoric. |
