Trump Must Stop Gambling on US Fate
The DPRK’s blast of a hydrogen bomb to be mounted on ICBM on September 3 is still sending shock waves through the world media.

More than 130 outlets splashed the news all at once, and analysts and policy think-tanks are busy analysing its influence.

The following are some of the comments carried by Brazil’s internet news agency “G1”, AP, ABC, CNN, NPR of the US, The Guardian of Britain and many other media.

“The meaning of the DPRK’s another nuclear blast is simple and plain and it means Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un won,” “The test was a direct hit for Trump who has been half-hearted in the settlement of the Korean issue,” “The event marks an occasion to show that the confrontational structure between the US and DPRK has completely changed and the US and its allies have no ways to check the DPRK’s nuclear race,” “The DPRK’s estimated hydrogen bomb blast was a bitter moment for the US and such a bomb is powerful enough to reduce New York to ashes,” “If a hydrogen bomb is blasted in the air above Silicon Valley, the generated EMP will paralyze the headquarters of Apple, Facebook and Google,” “The US has failed in its strategy to stop the DPRK’s nuclear and missile programme through sanctions,” “Eleven years after UN sanctions resolution 1718 was adopted against the DPRK’s first nuclear test the DPRK succeeded in building nuclear preemptive strike capacity,” “If the US continues to expand sanctions and wait for their result, the DPRK will gain much more time to upgrade its missiles,” and “The US is the loser in the Korean peninsula and whenever Trump tweets against the DPRK it only reveals his position as a paper tiger.”

Whatever the comment the conclusion is definite: the winner is the DPRK.

It is the public opinion of the world and admission of the US.

Through the ICBM-mountable hydrogen bomb test, the DPRK demonstrated once again the inexhaustible might to reduce the US mainland to ashes with hydrogen bomb and showed its iron will to bring the decades-long anti-US showdown to an end by defeating the enemy with its nuclear force unless the Trump administration roll back its anachronistic policy against the DPRK.

The Korean people love peace more than anyone else. And they wish to live in good harmony in a peaceful world.

But they had to take the thorny path of nuclear buildup instead because the US posed nuclear threat to them on a constant basis.

As it could not succumb to the outrageous US, which tries in every way to trample its rights to sovereignty and survival by wielding the nuclear stick, the DPRK chose to build nuclear weapons to defend independence and justice and held up the strategic line of simultaneously pushing economic construction and nuclear buildup.

Notwithstanding this, such ignorant and hysterical remarks are still heard from the US inner circle that “it is not time to negotiate with the DPRK but to put pressure”, “the US considers suspending all trade with any country that deals with north Korea”, “strong military response” and “tough sanctions”.

But the DPRK takes the initiative in the showdown with the US.

Trump’s preoccupation with sanctions risks hastening the US destruction.
