The recent provocation by the US and the Republic of Korea towards the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, whereby the DPRK is being framed for the Sinking of the South Korean Warship Cheonan, shows off the hostile policy by the US and its puppets in the Republic of Korea towards the DPRK.
This new threat being levelled at North Korea, has the intentions to bring about, a new round of sanctions against the progressive people of the DPRK by the international community. However the DPRK is denying any involvement in this unfortunate incident where 46 Sailors lost their lives
The Cheonan incident has a strong smell of foul play committed by the accusers. This reminds us of another similar incidents in the past. During Cuba’s war of independence the warship USS Maine was blown up in Havana’s harbour, and the US conveniently blamed Spain for this misdeed, so it could interfere in Cuba’s liberation war, and also the Bay of Tionkin incident a pretext used by the US to involve itself directly in the Vietnam war and exposed as a lie by an ex pentagon civilian employee Daniel Ellsberg who was imprisoned for revealing state secrets.
The Cheonan was a patrol boat whose mission was to survey with radar and sonar the enemy’s submarines, torpedoes and aircraft. If North Korean submarines and torpedoes were approaching, the Cheonan should have been able to sense it quickly and take measures to counterattack or evade.
Had the DPRK sunk the Cheonan as it is being claimed it would not have been afraid to declare it it. The DPRK was not scared to capture US gunboats that trespassed into its territorial waters in the past.
The results alleged by the investigations of the causes that sunk the Cheonan were concluded by those who lied on weapons of mass destruction that Iraq was alleged to possess prior to the Iraqi Invasion which had not the approval of the UN. Can we ever believe such fabrications?
US imperialism which was instrumental in splitting Korea into two separate states and has kept its influence through a series of military puppet dictators and always thwarted the people’s wishes for reunification of the two Koreas. This same policy was again used unsuccessfully in Vietnam with heavy causalities in the worst military defeat for the United States.
Fifty-seven years on, the US still cannot stomach the defeat it suffered at the hands the Democratic Korea People’s Army during the Korean War. The US forces were driven back and the UN had to intervene to save their faces, with US General Douglas MacArthur being sent into retirement in disgrace by the Eisenhower Administration.
Warmongering hawks in the Pentagon still have revanchist plans and schemes against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
