"A touch-and-go situation is now prevailing on the Korean peninsula because of the US's undisguised policy to stifle the DPRK (Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea). Korea is at the crossroads of war or peace. It is, in fact, hardly possible to preserve the cease-fire in Korea by the unilateral efforts of the Korean people`s army. On May 31, the US side announced its "plan for arms buildup" aimed at equipping its forces present in south Korea with new types of weapons, thus totally disregarding paragraph 13 (d) of the Armistice Agreement which calls for cessation of the introduction, into Korea, of reinforcing combat aircraft, armoured vehicles, weapons, and ammunition.

According to the plan the US will allocate 11(b) billion US dollars in military spending over a short period of time in a bid to massively introduce modern unmanned aircraft, armed helicopters, the latest missiles, precision guided bombs, infantry combat vehicles, electronic command systems, etc, into South Korea.

Such a massive military reinforcement proves that the US preparations for an attack on the DPRK have reached the final stage under the new strategy of pre-emptive strike, instead of the deterrence strategy which has been so far pursued.

At the same time, the US is seeking to impose sea and air blockades as well as laying an international siege network against the DPRK, by encouraging its allies (to engage in this blockade), including Japan, in disregard of paragraph 15 of the agreement, which stipulates a ban on a blockade of any kind in Korea. This action aggravates the situation.

Such military reinforcement, a massive concentration of armed forced and a blockade against one side of the two signatories of the Armistice Agreement... A gross violation of it will mean a war in fact.

The DPRK clouds of war are gathering to hang over the Korean peninsula as the days go by. The US has already begun relocating its forces in South Korea to areas south of the river Han in a bid to save the forces from the KPA artillery firing range and create conditions for making a pre-emptive strike at the DPRK at any time. However, there is no place in south korea for the US forces to escape from strike of the KPA.

Any possible war in Korea will not be a limited unilateral war, as that fought in Afghanistan and Iraq, but the fiercest and hardest fought war, an unprecedented life and death battle. "
