COMMENTARY
By Jo Thaek Bom
Rodong Sinmun
Japanese Minister of Defense Iwaya recently said that Japan would go ahead with a plan for deploying Aegis Ashore, defying the strong protest of the local residents.
Aegis Ashore capable of loading SM-3 Block 2A is known as a weapon system to intercept a ballistic missile in outer space.
It is a part of the Japanese reactionaries' desperate moves for a military giant.
Aegis Ashore to be deployed in Japan aims at China and Russia, to say nothing of the Korean peninsula.
The final aim of Japan for a military giant is overseas aggression.
Invasion just means preemptive attack. In the past all wars of aggression began with preemptive attack.
Japan, far from drawing a lesson from its defeat in the past, works harder for a military giant, persistently denying its past crimes. It is an outright assertion that Japan will repeat the past.
Japan hell bent on the moves for a military giant and reinvasion is a malignant cancer harmful to peace and stability in Northeast Asia.
The moves can never be looked with folded arms.
