The Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK), Juche Idea Study Group of England(JISGE) and UK Korean Friendship Association (UK KFA ) today issued a joint statement in denunciation of the forthcoming Foal Eagle and Key Resolve war exercises by the US imperialists and south Korean puppets :
The US imperialist aggressors and the south Korean fascist puppets will begin the Foal Eagle and Key Resolve military exercises in less than a weeks time on the 7th of March and these will run until the 30th of April, that is nearly 2 months. The exercises are unprecedented in scale and intensity .
The exercises will involve 15,000 US troops , that is 3 times the usual number. The U.S. imperialist aggression forces' nuclear-powered submarine North Carolina has already entered Pusan Port and F-22A Stealth fighter-bombers have been deployed in the Osan air force base. The exercises will include so-called "beheading operations" aimed at the physical liquidation of the DPRK
supreme leadership and destruction of nuclear and rocket bases of the DPRK.
These exercises come at a time when the US imperialists , south Korean puppets and world reactionaries have run amok in their efforts to stifle Korean-style socialism by means of 'additional UNSC sanctions' and the so-called' human rights ' campaign. The US imperialists and their lackeys throughout the world have unfairly and hypocritically taken issue with the legitimate satellite launch of the DPRK and the self-defensive H bomb test .
Foal Eagle and Key Resolve are neither "defensive " nor 'routine' as claimed . They include detailed plans for the rehearsal and invasion of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea of Korea. It is a nonsensical sophistry to assert that as they are "routine " so do pose a threat. The analogy can be used of a fire drill in an office building or factory , these are not held for the sake of "routine" but as a practice for the real thing . It is the same with "Foal Eagle " and "Key Resolve.
The US imperialists should not be holding military exercises on Korean soil many miles from its homeland . It is a grave violation of the sovereignty of the Korean nation.
Foal Eagle and Key Resolve exercises aim at invading the DPRK and occupying it . They are aimed at destroying the socialist system of the DPRK . They are a grave challenge to the independence and sovereignty of the DPRK . Also Foal Eagle and Key Resolve are a serious threat to peace in the Asia Pacific region .
We call for the immediate cancellation of Foal Eagle and Key Resolve and the unconditional withdrawal of US troops from Korea . Moreover a broad labour movement and peace movement campaign must be mounted against Foal Eagle and Key Resolve. Foal and Key Resolve must be stopped in their tracks.
HANDS OFF PEOPLE'S KOREA!
DEFEND THE D P R KOREA !
US OUT OF KOREA !
