Japan Urged to Behave Itself
From our friends at KCNA
Pyongyang, January 28 (KCNA) -- Japan has neither a justification nor a qualification to interfere in such an important matter as the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula, says Minju Joson today in a signed commentary. The Japanese authorities groundlessly pulled up the DPRK over its withdrawal from the NPT, the commentary notes, and continues:
It was the U.S. and the IAEA, its cat's paw, which compelled the DPRK to withdraw from the treaty.
...it's "cat's paw"? That's a new one.
The Japanese authorities, however, are faulting the DPRK, a victim.
...awwwwwww.Poor North Koreans.
The same is true for the issues related to the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration. Japan is totally to blame for the non-compliance with the declaration.
Japan linked the already settled issue and unimportant issues which carry no great significance in improving the bilateral relations to the issue of compensating for its past crimes, thus deliberately hamstringing the process of establishing diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Jeez, no diplomatic relations with the NK? How could any nation survive that?
It is persistent in its moves to isolate the DPRK, taking advantage of the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK.
The nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula is not an issue which admits of Japan's meddling.
Hey, if I'm in nuke range, which they are, I'm meddling.
The issue can be settled satisfactorily only if the U.S. totally drops its hostile policy toward the DPRK and respects its sovereignty and vital rights. The DPRK and the U.S. are, therefore, the direct parties concerned to the settlement of the nuclear issue. It is foolhardy of Japan not to understand this simple reason and go reckless.
Yes, I think we all remember the last time Japan went "reckless".
Japan will have to pay a very high price if it continues running wild, ignorant of the true nature of the nuclear issue.
Yeah, what what would Japan know about nukes? Besides what it's like to be under 2 of them....
