미국은 미군주둔비인상 강요 말고 미군부터 당장 철거하라!

1. 11차 미남방위비분담금특별협정타결이 임박했다. 미CNN은 11일 미남당국이 분담금을 13% 인상하는 다년계약협정으로 의견을 좁히고 있다고 보도했다. 최종합의에는 남코리아국방예산의 의무적 확대와 특정군사장비 구매 등의 내용이 포함될 수 있다고 전했다. 13% 인상시 첫해의 분담금은 1조1739억원이며 다년계약으로 연간인상률이 적용될 경우 몇년내 20%에 근접한다. 바이든정부가 내세운 <동맹강화>의 추악한 본색이 드러나고 있다.
2. 미국은 <동맹>을 빙자해 해마다 주남미군유지비증액을 강박해왔다. 뿐만아니라 우리민중의 생존권·발전권을 유린하고 남북관계를 파탄내며 북침핵전쟁연습을 벌여왔다. 지난해 국방부자료에 따르면 2014년부터 2019년까지 방위비분담금불용액은 무려 678억8000만원에 달한다. 2019년 10차협정으로 1조389억원을 지급할 당시에도 2018년불용액은 78억5900만원이었다. 미집행액 2조여원으로 최소 3000억원이상의 이자까지 착복했다.
3. 방위비분담금은 미군을 앞세워 자행되는 군사·정치적 지배와 경제적 착취의 일환이다. 미국은 남코리아에 대한 지배력강화와 함께 대북핵전쟁책동의 노골화로 코리아의 평화·통일을 전면적으로 막아나서고 있다. 미남<동맹>이 허울이며 기만인 이유다. 예속적인 미남관계의 청산은 미군철거로부터 시작된다. 미국의 제국주의적 책동이 강화될수록 우리민중의 반제자주의식은 높아지고 반미항전의 날은 앞당겨진다.

[Spokesperson Report 392 – in front of the White House 61]
Do not force to increase the costs of stationing U.S. troops in South Corea but withdraw the U.S. troops immediately!

1. The 11th round of Negotiations over the Special Measures Agreement (SMA) was imminent. On the 11th, CNN reported the U.S. and South Corea are narrowing their opinions to a multi-year agreement that increased 13% of its share. It said that the final agreement could include mandated increases in the South Corea’s defense budget, as well as purchasing certain military equipment. In its contribution by 13% increase, the first year of the contributions is 1 trillions 173 billions 900 millions won and when the annual increase rate is applied to the multi-year agreement, it will be close to 20% within a few years. The ugly nature of “strengthening of the alliance” asserted by the Biden administration has been revealed.
2. The U.S. has been compelled to increase the defense cost-sharing for stationing U.S. troops in South Corea every year under the name of “alliance”. Also, the U.S. has conducted the exercise “nuclear war” against North Corea by violating the right to live and development of our nation and destroying the inter-Corean relations. According to the data from the Ministry of National Defense last year, the amount of unused defense cost-sharing for stationing U.S. troops reached to 678 billions 80 millions won from 2014 to 2019. Even when the 10th SMA in 2019 paid 1 trillions 38 billions 900 millions won, the amount of unused money in 2018 was 78 billions 59 millions won. They pocketed the interest over 300 billion won at least by the unexecuted amount of 2 trillion won.
3. The defense cost-sharing for stationing U.S. troops is part of the military and political domination and economic exploitation committed by the U.S. military. The U.S. is trying to block the peace and reunification of Corea completely by reinforcing its dominance over South Corea and doing the nuclear war maneuver against North Corea more blatantly. That’s why the US-South Corea “alliance” is specious and deceitful. The liquidation of subordinate US-South Corea relations begins with the withdrawal of the U.S. troops. The more imperialistic maneuver of the U.S. intensifies, the more the consciousness of anti-imperialism and independence get higher. Then the day of resistance to the U.S. will move forward.
