Int'l Affairs Analyst of DPRK on Doctrine of "America First"

Pyongyang, March 15 (KCNA) -- Kim Myong Chol, an international affairs analyst of the DPRK, issued the following article titled "'America first' prioritizing the U.S. exclusive interests will positively promote the whole world's multi-polarization":

The centuries-old desire of mankind to live in a just, peaceful, stable and rich world is faced with a grave challenge due to the emergence of the present U.S. administration and the whirlwind by the "America first", its political philosophy.

The unprecedented evil cycle of confusion, distrust, confrontation and contradiction, caused by the inevitable decline of U.S. imperialism and the avaricious foreign policy of the successive U.S. administrations for delaying it even a little, is being further accelerated by the reemergence of the Trump administration and the "America first".

The doctrine "America first" of the American empire, appearing to embody the universal attribute of international relations centered on national interests, has clearly revealed its peculiar high-handed, aggressive and predatory nature with the passage of time. The world progressive mankind aspiring after peace and international justice are strictly watching the hypocritical entity of U.S. imperialism wrapped in a cloth of the "America first".

Clear is the reason why the "America first" is denounced and rejected in different parts of the world.

The "America first" is, in essence, a continued and expanded version of imperialism and hegemonism pursued by the U.S. since its birth in the world. It is based on the extreme chauvinism and Yankee way of thinking that it is all right to violate the rights to sovereignty, existence and development of other countries and nations for the interests of the U.S.

When taking into consideration its inborn attribute as well as its ideological characters such as "muscle flexing" and "peace by strength", the "America first" has nothing to do with the idea of different countries and nations for preserving, promoting and developing their good qualities.

The present U.S. administration's remarks and deeds according to the doctrine "America first" make one easily understand the aggressive nature of the doctrine.

The present U.S. administration adorned the beginning of its second-term office, internally with the enforcement of extreme discrimination policy aimed at the massive deportation of "illegal immigrants" and externally with the withdrawal from international organizations such as WHO, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the UN Human Rights Council and the demonstration of its gangster-like will to annex inviolable territories of a sovereign state.

After its inauguration, the administration has further enhanced the scale and pace of its aggressive and hegemonic foreign policy based on the "America first".

It seeks exclusive economic interests by wielding an indiscriminate tariff club against neighboring countries, allies and enemy countries. And it has thrown off even its deceptive "humanitarian" mask to totally stop the "foreign assistance" to other countries. It is also pushing the international community into a great shock by repeating the unreasonable and surprising acts such as proposed "taking-over of Gaza Strip and its development as a resort".

European countries, Japan, the ROK and other allies, which have zealously followed the U.S. domination strategy for unipolar world, boasting of the "alliance" of nearly 80 years after the Second World War, are suffering "humiliation" and "contempt". This is a natural result of the "America first".

Politicians and media of Western countries, that have been so faithful to the U.S., are deploring that the present U.S. administration's blackmail policy heralds a new era of jungle law and its "America first" is not isolationism but interventionism that has put on another mask.

Even conservative media and experts of the U.S. unhesitatingly contend that definiteness and concreteness should be added to the doctrine of "America first" to make it more positively contribute to expanding the U.S. external role as "international leader".

Such comments are only a few partial examples showing that the international community has looked into the essence of the "America first" anatomically and made a correct conclusion about it.

The "American first" gives the international community and the present times a suggestion of great significance.

In conclusion, this means that one must be strong in order to defend oneself and that the promotion of self-development is just the truth and a powerful means for propelling the law-governed development of history.

The DPRK, which has emerged as the strongest anti-imperialist and anti-U.S. fortress, is bolstering up its strength with tighter grip on the treasured nuclear sword of justice, the banner of independence. This is aimed at putting an end to the hateful invasion and plunder attempt by the empire of evil and at writing a new page in the world history aspiring after independence and multipolarization.

Some countries are taking a hands-off approach towards the U.S. outrageous threat and blackmail as they have failed to build up their strength. So the U.S. is mercilessly violating their dignity and interests like their lives. This reality makes one understand once again the true meaning of the common proverb that a wolf must be tamed with a club only.

History always stand on the side of justice, and justice and conscience are the main factors that prevented the history of complicated international relations from running off the correct track of its development, braving all sorts of trials and difficulties.

The Yankees' logic of hegemony that everything in the world should be prey only for the U.S. and the anachronistic behavior of the impudent empire of evil, which imposes "the rules-based international order" on other countries, unhesitatingly neglecting the international law and international organizations for its exclusive interests, can no longer be allowed by the conscience of mankind aspiring after the era of independence, the new era of multipolarization.

The evil forces obsessed with the frantic idea of destroying global peace and security and threatening the existence of human beings will not escape from a stern punishment by history. When the world progressives united by justice bolster up their strength and fully display it, the destruction of the Yankees' hegemonism will be further hastened.

The more recklessly the present U.S. administration pursues the unilateral policy based on "America first" prioritizing the U.S. exclusive interests, the further the whole world's multi-polarization will be accelerated. This will lead to the total downfall of the U.S., the empire of evil, and imperialism. -0-
