A North Korean committee yesterday called for an end to what it called the US “control” of South Korea through Kim’s propaganda mouthpiece KCNA.
In a statement, the committee said: “The pro-US traitors and confrontation maniacs in South Korea are fanning up such war hysteria of the US, while calling for ‘strengthened alliance to cope with the nuclear threat from the north’.
“The South Korean people cannot get rid of the miserable misfortunes and sufferings and the whole nation cannot evade the tragedy of division and nuclear war disaster as long as the US military occupation and domination over south Korea which have lasted for more than seven decades continue and the treacherous moves of the pro-US sycophants are allowed to continue.”
The statement also blasted the 64-year-old mutual defence treaty between the US and South Korea.
The committee added: “Under this brigandish ‘treaty’ the US has reduced South Korea into the arsenal and advanced base for a nuclear war and aggravated the situation of the Korean peninsula to the extremes through ceaseless nuclear war gambling against the North, while styling itself an entity of extraordinary privileges.”
Under the agreement, South Korea and the US are committed to providing mutual aid if either nation faces external armed attack.
The agreement also allows the United States to station military forces in South Korea with the agreement of the South Korean government.
World War 3 fears are also growing as North Korea has announced it is preparing for conflict following yet another sabre-rattling threat.
An article in a state-run newspaper said: “All our service persons and people have turned out in the retaliatory war of justice.
“The DPRK has already been in full readiness.
“All striking means are on the alert.”
The newspaper, a mouthpiece for Kim’s one-party dictatorship, also promised a “dreadful and horrible” war if the US does not back off and lift sanctions.
Another article published in the rogue state’s capital city this week also threatened the USA with bloody destruction.
