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.

TweetWHATS EVERYONE THINK OF THIS?

[daved150]

Tweeti knew when we were fukin with iraq we should've been working on those assholes instead...i evensaid that right here....(for the recoed, i was in favor of iraq, but i had/have grave concerns with n.korea)...
this is bullshyt...this president is gonna have to face that we may have to do something with this asshole....and china/russia aint gonna want the U.S. to run things on their front porch either...and that may cause more probs....if china dont get it's dog on a chain, we may have to euthanize the fuker

[jamescb77]

Tweetit seems as though china isn't exactly on north korea's side here and i do believe that while russia isn't a super power they are on south korea's side. I think this whole thing is great as long as it doesn't start another war with china. Right now we don't need to go to war with china but we can't have some small ***** country telling the rest of the world what the can and can't do.

[daved150]

Tweeti know china aint specificly on n.korea's "side", but not agreeing with them and letting U.S. on their front porch is 2 different things. and i realize russia aint a super power anymore and they may not even care if n.korea gets taken out, but i dont know...china could be a prob in this

TweetNorth Korea has been a problem for some time now. Ever since bill clinton appeased the north korean government by giving them BILLIONS of dollars to not research nuclear capabilities, the north korean government has been looking for more money. They tried it when GWB first got into office and now they are going to test this administration. They would have withered on the vine like the former soviet union if the idiot clinton didn't subsidize their economy for years. Hopefully our muslim in chief will deal with this correctly.

[jamescb77]

Tweeti think there will have to be a deal struck were another country besides the us is to run and reorganize the country once a war would be over in order for china to agree. They might even allow south korea to just run the whole country but i think they see SK as US

TweetI RECOMMEND WATCHING THE DOCUMENTARY "A STATE OF MIND". I rented it at blockbuster. I might even go rent it again. Its that good. Its really freaky what goes on in that country. The population is totally brainwashed and let me tell you, everyone in N. Korea HATES the USA. They would be thrilled to go to war against us.
