KCNA commentary on US arms support to puppet ROK

The US, the world's biggest war merchant, is getting more frantic in its arms sale to its vassal states than ever before.

According to the "Fiscal Year 2024 US Arms Transfers and Defense Trade" recently announced by the US Department of State, the US foreign military sales aimed at arms support to its allies in the last fiscal year reached US$117.9 billion, a 45.7 percent increase over the previous fiscal year.

In this regard, the US Department of State loudly claimed that it is the highest record of the annual foreign military sales to the allies.

That is very likely.

Last year the US provided the Zelenskiy clique with a large amount of ultra-modern equipment, including long-range strike means, in order to reverse the military inferiority in the Ukrainian battlefield and expand the war in a sustainable way. It also handed over weapons of mass destruction to Israeli Zionists to instigate them to bloody massacres in the Gaza Strip.

If the weapons sold out by the US to its allies in private, avoiding the eyes of the world people, are put together, the sales will reach an astronomical figure.

In retrospect, the US has earned its geopolitical profit from turning various countries and regions of the world into hotspots and disputed areas by instigating its followers and worked at arms trade on a large scale under the pretext of "preventing disputes" to fill its money bags. It is the US’ stereotyped method and selfish calculation method of killing two birds with one stone.

What merits attention is that the US is getting ever more undisguised in its arms sale to the puppet ROK, top-class stooge and the first war servant.

A ceremony of handing over the US latest sea-patrol planes took place in the puppet ROK in July last year. The US approved the sale of latest attack helicopter AH-64E and related goods worth 3.5 billion US dollars to the puppet ROK in August and the sale of AWACS worth 4.92 billion US dollars in November. All the facts go to prove that the US moves to arm the ROK puppets with its weapons and drive them to confrontation and war with the DPRK are far beyond the danger level.

Such moves are going on in the new year, too. The US officially notified the puppet ROK of two arms sales recently.

According to them, the arms sales includes the equipment worth a total of 170.6 million US dollars including latest drones to be delivered to the puppet navy and the weapons parts worth 350 million US dollars.

In this regard, the US has tediously advertised that the introduction of these weapons would make the puppet ROK “bolster up the deterrence and defense capabilities against threats” in the region.

The US is getting more zealous in its huge arms support to the puppet ROK while talking about the so-called "improvement of security" and the "enhancement of military capabilities". Lurking behind this is the US sinister intention to wreck the balance of strength in the region and consolidate its hegemonic position.

The puppet ROK has been turned into a thoroughgoing anti-communist advanced base by the US, the most reactionary state entity regarding anti-communism as an invariable state policy. This reality clearly tells us which direction we should take, and what and how to do.

Any arms support of the US cannot save the puppet ROK from the destiny of the strategic inferiority, and the US’ shameless and outrageous ambition for killing two birds with one stone which is getting ever more undisguised with each passing day will never be realized by the just strength of the DPRK.
