sovereignty and rights to existence and development by keeping a real balance of force
with the U.S.
The historical lessons in decades-long history of the DPRK-U.S. showdown such as the
U.S. ignominious defeat in the 1950’s Korean War, the incident of the U.S. armed spy-
ship “Pueblo”, the incident of “EC-121” reconnaissance plane and so on, give a clear
answer to the question: Who is the one that should not underestimate or try its opponent.
The DPRK’s possession of nuclear weapons was a righteous and inevitable choice to
defend our national sovereignty and dignity and our people’s rights to existence and
development from increased nuclear threats and blackmail by the U.S. and its hostile
moves against the DPRK.
Time is now gone forever when the U.S. used to threaten and blackmail us with nuclear
weapons.
The reckless remarks by a dotard like Trump can never frighten us or put a stop to our
advance. This rather gives us an assured conviction that our choice to embark on the road
of simultaneously promoting the economic construction and the up-building of the
nuclear force was all the more righteous one, and it pushes us to speed up the efforts to
accomplish the great cause of completing the state nuclear force.
The DPRK remains strong in courage and faith and it will surely win the final victory
in the showdown with the U.S. as it is under the distinguished guidance of the great
leader and has the single-minded unity of the army and people rallied closely around their
leader as well as the invincible military strength.
