Great nuclear restraint

North Korea is not interested in negotiations with the United States. This is stated in the article "Our nuclear deterrence cannot be the subject of bargaining", published by the official body of the Korea Labor Party newspaper "Nodon Sinmun".

"So far we will not get rid of fundamental problems like the hostile policy of the United States and the emergency threat emanating from them, we will not bear the issues of nuclear and missile programs for negotiations," the article says. Nuclear weapons need the DPRK to protect their sovereignty, the “survival of the people” and “international justice,” emphasizes Nodon Sinmoon.

Pyongyang believes that the United States should abandon the hostile perception of North Korea and coexist peacefully with it as a country with nuclear weapons.

In addition, the article notes that US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is trying to shift the responsibility for the aggravation of the situation on the Korean peninsula to North Korea. "We can only consider this as an attempt to lay the foundation for manipulating the UN Security Council for the adoption of sanctions resolutions," Pyongyang said.

On October 1, Tillerson said that the United States is trying to establish a direct dialogue with the DPRK regarding its missile and nuclear programs, butin Pyongyang they are not interested in interaction. Washington said, the head of the State Department specified, there are two or three direct channels of communication with Pyongyang. The United States is trying to find out what the DPRK wants in exchange for the rejection of missile and nuclear programs, but the Kimov regime has not yet demonstrated their readiness to conduct a dialogue on this topic.

On December 12, the Secretary of State again noted that the United States is ready to start a dialogue with North Korea , without putting forward preliminary conditions. “Let's meet, talk about the weather if you want it. It can be at a square table or round table, if it is worried,” Tillerson turned to the DPRK authorities. “But, in the end, we must sit opposite each other and put a map on the table - a roadmap - what we need to work together.”

However, Pyongyang should be readiness to change the position in the question of his nuclear and missile programs, the Secretary of State emphasized. "It would be unrealistic to say that we will limit ourselves to conversations if we gather at the negotiating table to discuss your refusal of programs," Tillerson said.

At the same time, the United States is ready to answer any threat from North Korea, the Secretary of State said. The American armed forces received orders to keep all the available funds in case of such a development of events.

According to Tillerson, the United States is concerned about how the sanctions against the DPRK introduced by the UN Security Council are being implemented. A special role in this is played by China and Russia, he noted. The Secretary of State noted that Russia supported the resolutions of the Security Council regarding the DPRK, although "could impose a veto on them." At the same time, “there are some violations, it is easy to see them - in particular, forced labor. In connection with the shortage of labor in the Far East, Russia uses the work of 35 thousand North Korean citizens, Tillerson emphasized.
