(North) Korean News: "Concession and Submission to Imperialism Mean Death: Rodong Sinmun"

These articles are like snowflakes:

To yield to the imperialists and opt for compromising with them would lead people to ruin with its sovereignty deprived of, says Rodong Sinmun Sunday in a signed article. Concession and submission to the imperialists is an expression of weakness and subservience and little short of abandoning the revolutionary principle, the article says, and goes on:

What is most important for those countries aspiring after independence to keep the revolutionary principle is to take a staunch anti-imperialist and anti-U.S. stand.

A biggest stumbling block in the way of achieving the human cause of independence and peace at present is the U.S. imperialists' aggression and war moves. All the progressive countries of the world should never allow the U.S. to infringe upon their sovereignty even a bit but seriously approach and resolutely reject its aggression against other countries, regarding it as an aggression against themselves.

They should have no slightest illusion about the imperialists. The Illusion would lead them to compromise and concession.

If they are afraid of the U.S., they will read its face and curry its favor, unable to say and do what they should, bereft of independence and Juche character. A way for a country and nation to defend its destiny is to respond to the U.S. use of force with force and with merciless punishment. To this end it is imperative to build military force with a correct viewpoint of enemies and war.

To increase self-reliant national defence capacity would guarantee sovereignty, peace and victory in the anti-imperialist and anti-U.S. struggle.

The present stand-off between the DPRK and the U.S. represents the most serious and fiercest confrontation between the progressive and the reactionary, between peace forces and aggression forces. The U.S. imperialists are desperately trying to ignite a new war on the Korean Peninsula, having designated the DPRK as a major target of attack. An important lesson the Korean people have drawn from confrontation with the U.S. is that they will emerge victors only when they wage a staunch struggle without concession and submission in showdown with the enemy. The Korean people will wage a dynamic struggle for independence and socialism against imperialism under the uplifted banner of Songun.

I suppose there is a dim reflection of the issue of North Korea's nuclear tests in this article. Who knows.
