The ASSPUK, JISGE and UK Korean Friendship Association issued the following joint statement denouncing the US imperialist and south Korean war exercises scheduled for next week;
The atmosphere of dialogue , relaxation of tension and confidence building which had been built up owing the persevering and patient efforts of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is being destroyed owing to the continued war provocations of the south Korean puppets and their US imperialists. The war exercises planned for next week are the latest in a long line of provocative war exercises on the Korean peninsula carried out by the US imperialists and their south Korean puppets. This cycle of tension creating exercises started in March with the month long "Foal Eagle -Key Resolve " and continued in summer with Ulji Freedom Guardian . These exercises were intensely aggressive and even involved forces from countries of the so-called "UN Command ".
Now despite a series of constructive steps taken by the DPRK to improve inter-Korean relations the US imperialists and south Korean puppets intend to plough ahead with nuclear war exercises to threaten and attempt to bully the DPRK . In a display of old-fashioned and anachronistic 'gunboat diplomacy ' the US imperialists have sent the nuclear -powered aircraft carrier George Washington to Korea and today it has docked in Pusan south Korea .
These planned exercises are a very grave threat to peace in Korea and the wider region of the Asia -Pacific . A war in Korea could very easily develop into a world-war . The exercises are being conducted at a time when the an intense anti DPRK pyshcological warfare and propaganda campaign is being waged by the south Korean puppets and world reaction. The timing of the exercises cannot be coincidental.
This latest twist in the war provocations of the US imperialists and south Korean puppets show conclusively that the US imperialists and south Korean puppets do not want peace . Their talk of "peace " and "denuclearisation " is nothing but a hollow sham . The real aim of the US imperialists and their south Korean puppets is to invade the DPRK and destroy Korean-style socialism by force. However the US imperialists and their grubby puppet minions in south Korea can never subdue Songun Korea which is led by dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un.
Our organisations demand the US imperialists and south Korean puppets cancel these latest war exercises at once. Moreover the US should completely pull out of south Korean and dissolve the "UN Command"
