U.S. Denounced as Destroyer of Peace and Stability

of Korean Peninsula

Pyongyang, June 26 (KCNA) -- The Institute for American Studies of the Foreign
Ministry of the DPRK released a research report on Sunday to give the full picture of the
war of aggression provoked by the U.S. against the DPRK in the 1950s and to disclose
once again the aggressive nature of the U.S. still making desperate efforts to ignite a
nuclear war.
The report stressed that the U.S. is the provoker of the aggression war against Korea,
adding:
The U.S. has had its eye of greed on the Korean peninsula, the gateway to the Asian
continent, since the mid-19th century, and illegally occupied south Korea in the guise of
"liberator" and "protector" right after the end of the Second World War.
The U.S. laid a pro-U.S. political foundation in south Korea through the puppet regime
fabrication. In a bid to militarily swallow up the whole Korean peninsula, it put spurs to
the war preparations to occupy the DPRK by force of arms.
The U.S. tightened up its forces, arms and equipment and military infrastructure for
unleashing a war of aggression against the DPRK in south Korea. In January 1950 it
concluded an agreement with the puppet Syngman Rhee clique on stationing 500-strong
U.S. military advisory group in south Korea, the largest-ever at that time.
In early 1949 the U.S. buckled down to mapping out the plan for igniting a war of
aggression against the DPRK by mobilizing not only the information and operation
departments including the G-2 and G-3 of MacArthur's Command but also the "History
Class" and "KATO" institutions composed of senior officers of the former Japanese army.
The U.S. hurled the south Korean puppet army into ceaseless armed provocations to
verify the effectiveness of the operation plan. In 1949 the number of their armed
provocations reached over 2 610, which was 2.8 times as many as the previous year.
The U.S. deployed five divisions of the south Korean puppet army in the area along the
38th Parallel and three divisions of the operational reserve corps near Seoul, thus
making more than 70 percent of the puppet army ready for attack.
In particular, the U.S. brought two aircraft carriers, two cruisers, six destroyers, three
bomber groups, six pursuit fighter groups and two transport plane groups to Japan under
the pretext of amphibious drill from late April 1950, and made full preparations for their
immediate mobilization for the Korean War.

After rounding off the preparations for a war of aggression against the DPRK, the U.S.
dispatched the advisor to the State Department Dulles to south Korea as a special envoy
of Truman on June 17, 1950 to make final on-the-spot confirmation of the war
preparations near the 38th Parallel, and handed over the secret order on igniting a war
finally ratified by Truman to puppet traitor Syngman Rhee and issued a special order to
"launch an attack on north Korea along with the propaganda that north Korea had
invaded first."
According to the war scenario worked out by the U.S., the puppet traitor Syngman Rhee
let all the reptile propaganda means be mobilized to spread the false information that the
"emergency martial law" which had been enforced from early June 1950 "was lift" at 0
o'clock on June 24 to "allow" the south Korean puppet army personnel to leave, stay out
and take time off.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Truman, Secretary of State Acheson, advisor to the State
Department Dulles and other senior officials of the U.S. administration found themselves
in weekend rest, travel and dinner and MacArthur, commander of the U.S. forces in the
Far East, slept in a bedroom at the outbreak of the war to deceive the world public.
The U.S. finally ignited a war of aggression against the DPRK on June 25, 1950. During
the three-year war, it hurled vast numbers of its armed forces amounting to more than
two million, including one third of its ground forces, one fifth of its air force, most of the
Pacific Fleet, troops from its 15 satellite countries, south Korean puppet forces and
Japanese militarists, into the Korean front and spent more than twenty billion U.S.
dollars.
The U.S. is a wrecker of peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and in the region,
the report said, and went on:
Far from drawing a due lesson from the disgraceful defeat it suffered in the Korean War,
the U.S. has persistently pursued hostile policy toward the DPRK to realize its wild
ambition for dominating Asia and the rest of the world at any cost by occupying the
whole Korean peninsula for 70 years since the ceasefire.
The U.S. has staged various kinds of war drills in south Korea under the pretext of
"defense" and "annual" since the late 1950s and massively brought nuclear attack
means including nuclear carriers, nuclear submarines and nuclear strategic bombers to
south Korea to turn it into a mobile nuclear arsenal.
The U.S. has deliberately fabricated various incidents and events and steadily escalated
its nuclear threat and blackmail against the DPRK.

The U.S. checked a nuclear attack on the DPRK when its armed spy ship Pueblo was
captured in 1968, put nuclear-capable tactical bombers on emergency alert when its
large spy plane EC-121 was shot down in 1969. In 1976 when Panmunjom incident
broke out, it made its nuclear-capable strategic bombers fly in formation near the
demilitarized zone, frequently posing nuclear threats and blackmail to the DPRK. The
U.S., which had made it its official policy to offer "nuclear umbrella" to south Korea in
1982, detailed it as the concept of "extended deterrence" which calls for striking the
opponent in the same way as when the U.S. mainland is under nuclear attack in 2009. It
thus invented a pretext for bringing its huge nuclear forces to south Korea not only in
contingency on the Korean peninsula but also at any ordinary times, and has maximized
its nuclear threats.
The U.S.-south Korea joint military exercises, which was kicked off in 1954 under the
codename Focus Lens, have been staged ceaselessly for nearly seven decades under
such different codenames as Ulji Focus Lens, Ulji Freedom Guardian, Ulji Freedom
Shield, Focus Retina, Freedom Bolt, Team Spirit, RSOI (reception, staging, onward
movement and integration), Key Resolve, Foal Eagle and Freedom Shield.
The U.S.-south Korea joint military exercises, which hit a world record in its frequency
and scale, have been staged over 40 times annually. The number of troops involved in
them exceeded 500 000 long ago, including the U.S. forces, south Korean puppet
forces, those from satellite countries, personnel of puppet south Korean public organs
and businesses and even special forces from the U.S. mainland.
The current U.S. ruling forces in the White House are more openly pursuing the
inveterate attempt for mounting a preemptive nuclear attack on the DPRK in cahoots
with the south Korean puppet regime led by Yoon Suk Yeol hell-bent on sycophancy
toward the U.S.
The present ruling forces of the U.S., which came up with the "minutely coordinated
practical method of approaching the DPRK" and touted "resumption of dialogue" and
"diplomatic engagement" after taking office, have unhesitatingly revealed their hostile
military attempt against the DPRK
Amid the accelerated transfer of various arms and equipment to south Korea, the U.S.
urgently dispatched its Defense Secretary to south Korea in December 2021 for the 53rd
U.S.-south Korea annual security consultative meeting, in which he was closeted with
the south Korean military to draw up "strategy planning guidelines" for a new nuclear war
scenario.

After puppet traitor Yoon hell-bent on sycophancy toward the U.S. took office in south
Korea, war exercises under different codenames have been spearheaded by the U.S.
nonstop across south Korea and such war rehearsals are getting more and more
adventurous and reckless in their scale, scope, intensity and contents as the days go by.
Ulji Freedom Shield joint military exercise, resumed as large-scale maneuvers four years
after its last round, was staged according to the extremely provocative and reckless war
scenario the keynote of which is to advance to Pyongyang via Kaesong.
In 2022 alone, the U.S., in collusion with the south Korean puppet forces, staged various
nuclear war exercises, including joint air drill with strategic assets involved, carrier strike
group joint drill involving a nuclear carrier for the first time since November 2017 and
joint naval maneuvers, every day to stoke the aggressive fever against the DPRK.
This year the U.S. is resorting to the worrying hostile acts of wantonly encroaching upon
the sovereignty and security of the DPRK more persistently than ever before and their
gravity and danger have reached the threshold of explosion which can no longer be
tolerated.
As a preceding military process for igniting a nuclear war, the U.S. is conducting different
forms of espionage against the DPRK on an unprecedented scale on the Korean
peninsula and in its vicinity.
Such bellicose moves of the U.S. have pushed the military tensions on the Korean
peninsula and in Northeast Asia already plunged into an extremely unstable situation
closer to the brink of a nuclear war.
If a war breaks out on the Korean peninsula located in an important geopolitical position,
where the interests of big powers are intermingled, it will rapidly expand into a world war
and a thermonuclear war unprecedented in the world. This will entail the most
catastrophic and irreversible consequences to peace and security on the Korean
peninsula and in Northeast Asia and the rest of the world.
Unless the U.S. anachronistic hostile policy toward the DPRK and persistent military
threats to it are rooted out, the DPRK's efforts for bolstering up its self-defensive
capabilities for safeguarding its sovereignty, dignity and security and preserving regional
peace and stability will be further accelerated and its exercise of the just right to self-
defence as a sovereign state will continue in the future, too. -0-
