Armistice is
'Dead Letter'; 'Provocateurs' Will Face Retaliatory Strike (Korea Central News,
North Korea)
It's that time again: Every year,
the United States and South Korea hold joint military exercises called Key
Resolve and Foal Eagle. And every year, the North Korean regime reacts with
pretend shock, calls them 'madcap', and threatens the participants. But this
year, now that the regime has nuclear weapons and transcontinental missiles,
the Pyongyang regime has incorporated threats of nuclear retaliation into its
Stalinist discourse.
Pyongyang: The
Secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea issued
information bulletin No. 1022 on Thursday:
The U.S.
imperialists and south Korean puppet warmongers are busy staging the madcap Key
Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises, pushing the situation on the
Korean Peninsula into a more reckless phase.
In view of the
grave situation, the DPRK has declared, both here and
abroad, that the Korean Armistice Agreement and all the north-south agreements
on non-aggression were nullified as of March 11, when the saber-rattling went
into full swing and it became clear that stronger countermeasures were needed.
[Editor's Note:
According to the United Nations, the armistice agreement, which was adopted by
the U.N. General Assembly, cannot be unilaterally dissolved by either North or
South Korea].
Pursuant to
this, the army and people of the DPRK have taken
positions for the mounting of a final attack for national reunification. All of
the most sophisticated methods of attack, including methods for undertaking a
nuclear strike, await the order to fire on the appropriate targets.
The measures declared by the DPRK
are the proper reaction to the hostile and high-handed actions of the U.S.
imperialists and puppet forces to invade the north and issue ultimatums.
Despite this, the puppet forces are challenging the actions
of the DPRK, and jabbering that the DPRK is "escalating tensions" and that
"south Korea will react strongly to attempts to scrap the Armistice
Agreement."

Every day, the puppet authorities and despicable reptilian media
take issue with the important measures taken by the DPRK,
talking about needing the "agreement of both sides" and
"international recognition." Not content with this, they insist that
the saber-rattling [military exercises] is a "defensive drill staged every
year within the framework of the Armistice Agreement."
As recognized at home and abroad, the Armistice Agreement
and agreements on non-aggression were long ago violated and reduced to dead
letters by the U.S. imperialists and south Korean puppet forces. They are the
ones, the arch criminals, who have systematically violated the Armistice
Agreement since the moment it was adopted and took effect.
All legal mechanisms for preventing military conflict are in
this land defunct, due to the unprecedented actions of the United States and
south Korean puppet forces to stifle the DPRK. Their
endless provocations have pushed an already grave situation out of control.
All the year round, U.S. nuclear carrier task forces and
strategic nuclear bombers aimed at attacking the DPRK
are busy operating in the seas surrounding south Korea and the air above it.
Consequently, not a day passes without provocative exercises for a war of
aggression against the DPRK.
As a result, the Korean Peninsula has become the most
dangerous hotspot on earth, with a dangerous nuclear arsenal that with a mere
spark could bring nuclear war.
For provocateurs openly preparing for attack to talk about
preserving the Armistice Agreement and non-aggression is the height of
shamelessness. The puppet group is ridiculous enough to describe this decision
by the DPRK as a "threat" and
"psychological warfare."
The aggressors and provocateurs should face up to reality.
If they misinterpret the grave situation today as a mere verbal confrontation
as have in the past, they are sadly mistaken. The provocateurs will not be able
to escape the retaliatory blows, which may come at any moment.
The army and people of the DPRK
will blow up all strongholds and bases of the aggressors and provocateurs, which
are so fond of playing with fire as they have in the past.
The disturbers of peace, the war provocateurs, and the
chieftain of fratricidal confrontation, will find no shelter to escape our
righteous attack. The south Korean puppet group had better behave itself.
