N. Korea threatens US; world anticipates missile
SEOUL, South Korea North Korea threatened Wednesday to wipe the United States off the map as Washington and its allies watched for signs the regime will launch a series of missiles in the coming days.
Off China's coast, a U.S. destroyer was tailing a North Korean ship suspected of transporting illicit weapons to Myanmar in what could be the first test of U.N. sanctions passed to punish the nation for an underground nuclear test last month.
The Kang Nam left the North Korean port of Nampo a week ago with the USS John S. McCain close behind. The ship, accused of transporting banned goods in the past, is believed bound for Myanmar, according to South Korean and U.S. officials.
The new U.N. Security Council resolution requires member states to seek permission to inspect suspicious cargo. North Korea has said it would consider interception a declaration of war and on Wednesday accused the U.S. of seeking to provoke another Korean War.
"If the U.S. imperialists start another war, the army and people of Korea will ... wipe out the aggressors on the globe once and for all," the official Korean Central News Agency said.
The warning came on the eve of the 59th anniversary of the start of the three-year Korean War, which ended in a truce in 1953, not a peace treaty, leaving the peninsula in state of war.
The U.S. has 28,500 troops in South Korea to protect against an outbreak of hostilities.
Tensions have been high since North Korea launched a long-range rocket in April and then conducted its second underground atomic test on May 25.
Reacting to U.N. condemnation of that test, North Korea walked away from nuclear disarmament talks and warned it would fire a long-range missile.
North Korea has banned ships from the waters off its east coast starting Thursday through July 10 for military exercises, Japan's Coast Guard said.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported Wednesday that the North may fire a Scud missile with a range of up to 310 miles (500 kilometers) or a short-range ground-to-ship missile with a range of 100 miles (160 kilometers) during the no-sail period.
A senior South Korean government official said the no-sail ban is believed connected to North Korean plans to fire short- or mid-range missiles. He spoke on condition of anonymity, citing department policy.
U.S. defense and counterproliferation officials in Washington said they also expected the North to launch short- to medium-range missiles. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive intelligence.
South Korea will expedite the introduction of high-tech unmanned aerial surveillance systems and "bunker-buster" bombs in response to North Korea's provocations, the Chosun Ilbo newspaper said, citing unidentified ruling party members.
Meanwhile, a flurry of diplomatic efforts were under way to try getting North Korea to return to disarmament talks.
Russia's top nuclear envoy, Alexei Borodavkin, said after meeting with his South Korean counterpart that Moscow is open to other formats for discussion since Pyongyang has pulled out of formal six-nation negotiations.
In Beijing, top U.S. and Chinese defense officials also discussed North Korea. U.S. Defense Undersecretary Michele Flournoy was heading next to Tokyo and Seoul for talks.
South Korea has proposed high-level "consultations" to discuss North Korea with the U.S., Russia, China and Japan.

I am amazed that China has not stepped in yet. N. Korea I believe gets all it's oil from China and China can pretty much reel them in if it has to, to maintain stability. Kim J. is definately making rash moves as he knows he is on the way out.

Little Kim is basically doing a “suicide by cop.”
I know it’s a terrible thing to say, but I think you have to smash them really bad if they even think of pointing a bottle rocket towards Hawaii. I mean like a “shock and awe.”

China has her own aims, and helping the U.S. has never been one of them. rest assured that if it comes to blows in Korea, it will be China that we are truly fighting, as it was during the first Korean war.

That was 50 years ago. China has nothing to gain and everything to lose if the US falls.If you will it, dude, it is no dream. -
Why do you think America is so happy to give so much money to China. You don't bite the hand that feeds you. How much of our crap is actually made in China? I still buy American as much as I can.Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
Thanks

If this was a year or two ago, I'd agree. But the way I see it, China's wealth hasn't been from selling anything to us, but fro lending us mass amounts of money with cheap interest rates on the return. Why? Because their wealth would kill them with inflation if they kept all that cash in their own borders, and the US is more than happy to borrow borrow and borrow. Hey, it's like "free money" right?
Now, though, when it's pretty much guaranteed that we aren't going to be paying back anything anytime soon... Well, try telling a loan-shark who has had deep resentment toward you for a good sized fraction of your life that you aren't going to pay.
All out war directly? I seriously doubt it. But China won't be stepping in to stop one on account of the United States...
Of course that is my opinion only.

The Chinese philosophy is to bide her time and wait... She has just as many nukes as the old USSR did, and can support the in-field combat operations of 200,000,000 men for up to 24 months. China's ultimate aim is world domination, the same goal as the Soviets had. China was all to happy to let us deal with the Russians and now she will be all to happy to deal with us, when the time is right. China will force us into bankruptcy, and then make her move when our factories are closed and our government cannot pay for the means to fight back.The Gear...

You should go to N. Korea & China and get the ball rolling.:rolleyes: -
I figure eventually, the current US gov't will realize that singing kumbaya won't stop any missile.
maybe even that promising tirants that shooting at protesting citizens is not enough of a reason to stop dialogue."If the global crisis continues, by the end of the year Only two Banks will be operational, the Blood Bank and the Sperm Bank. Then these 2 banks will merge and it will be called 'The Bloody **** Bank'" -

China has inflation. It's rampant and out of control. It doesn't get reflected in the world markets because the Chinese government subsidizes EVERYTHING.
Fuel is the best example. If the Chinese used U.S. Dollars it would go something like this. The U.S. pays $75 for a barrel of oil. That translates to about $2.50 for a gallon of gas. U.S. Citizens ****, U.S. lobbies OPEC to increase production to bring relief. China pays $75 a barrel also. But, Chinese citizens pay 88 cents a gallon because the Chinese government swallows $1.62 per gallon for gas.
Why do they do that? It drives growth. Dirty, polluting, uncontrolled growth propped up by a government who is running on dividends paid from loans to other countries. China is one massive economic bubble. If they lose the U.S. as a borrower, they lose a massive amount of income and they go in to debt to pay for their subsidizing of their economy. China literally gets upside-down on China. They will go in to ruination faster than you can shake a stick because the inflation would bankrupt the fragile economy overnight, literally.
China makes. They make lotsa stuff. They sell lotsa stuff too. But unlike European, American, Canadian, Australian and other countries and businesses, they make as cheap as they can to undercut competition. It costs them the same to build stuff as everyone else because raw materials are raw materials. They make up the difference in reduced wages. They can do that because the government subsidizes everything. They make it cheap to live for citizens so they can cut costs on labor and come in drastically lower than the rest of the world. If they didn't have that subsidizing from the government, all of China would be operating at a major deficit. In addition, they subsidize raw materials that they have to import also. So China is working on an economic model they copped from 1945 U.S. but running in a 2009 economy. It's gonna catch up with them and when it does, it's gonna hurt the world, not just China.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

China's war is more economical. They own about 1 Trillion of our debt. If the $ collapses or is creamed by inflation, their goes China's investment in the U.S. As much as Chia want it, they cannot survive without the U.S. Not yet anyway.nooshinjohn wrote: »The Chinese philosophy is to bide her time and wait...

Funny you mention 2 Million men army. That is the figure in the bible of the nation that will go to war. Only China has that # of men. -
Hey guys, history say, "nothing like a little war to end repression, I mean recession!"
Well history didn't literally say that, but you get the point. By the way, technically, we are still at war with N.Korea since the little "gimp" Jong II has disavowed the cease fire agreement that set up North & South Korea. Maybe it's time for a TKO -
I didn't mention a 2 million man army... I said they could field a 200 million man army!:eek:Funny you mention 2 Million men army. That is the figure in the bible of the nation that will go to war.
