In an article reproduced by the state news agency KCNA, Kim Kwang Myong pointed out that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, led by the United States, will carry out a mock launch of the Steadfast Noon nuclear bomb these days.

It is a real test of nuclear war -he explained- in which the fourth and fifth generation fighters, spy planes, the mother ship and North American B-52 strategic nuclear bombers will be trained in launching B61 tactical nuclear bombs, deployed in Europe.

He indicated that these devices have a destructive power 20 times greater than those that reduced the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to ashes and left hundreds of thousands of dead.

This dangerous move can only be committed by nuclear war maniacs, the expert stressed.

No one can deny that Washington persistently threatens and blackmails countries opposed to its designs with nuclear weapons, while on the other hand transferring nuclear technology to its allies and systematically violating international nuclear disarmament treaties, he noted.

The international community must clearly understand the aggressive nature of the thermonuclear war adventure of the United States and NATO and radically contain it as a force of monolithic unity, the columnist urged.
