Under “President” Barack Al-Obama, our field commanders probably need to review all their retreat and surrender options forthwith.

Many thanks, AG.
BRING BACK AMERICAN JOBS!
China would not be what it is today if not for the U.S..
There’s an annoying trick the Russians used in the Med against 6 th Fleet CVs and CVNs. They’wait until flights ops were underway and then they’d plot a course taking them across the CV’s bow from the right. Under the rules of the road the ship on the right has the right of way and the CV had to stand down from ops and allow the Russky ship, usually a DDG, to pass. Something to try with the Chicom CV.
China began building up it’s navy 20 years ago. Clinton was president. And it’s continued right on through Bush and now obama. When did we start borrowing money from China that we knew we could never pay back?
Raise the import tariffs. Let china sell it’s navy for food.
Obama will bow and apologize.
What kind of technical work can an international business manager do, say, as compared to an unemployed redneck, who can build to codes, install home energy systems, do auto repairs, systems admin., etc.? And in whose interest would be local zoning laws against manufacturing anything on large, rural, private properties (anti-domestic-competition laws)?
President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to seek a new type of major power relationship during a summit in California earlier this year. However, the exact nature of the new relationship remains unclear
*****************************************************
I think the nature of the new relationship is BOHICA, with the USA grabbing it’s ankles so to speak, in a deep low bow to those friendly Chinese Military Types.
I think this is exactly correct.
To maintain stability in the face of Chinese military assertiveness, Fisher said the United States and Japan should seek an armed peace in the region by heavily fortifying the Senkaku Islands and the rest of the island chain they are part of.
Again, I agree.
The problem is that the US is so indebted to China--in fact, it is almost a wholly owned subsidiary of China--that it has placed itself in a very weak position.
Plus, the Obama administration seems to believe in the (rather dubious) principle of peace through weakness; so it has been busily hollowing out the US military, while China has been fervidly ramping up its own--thereby making confrontation less plausible, from the American perspective.
The Pentagon and U.S. Pacific Command have sought to develop closer ties to the Chinese military as part of the Obama administration’s Asia pivot policies.
However, China’s military has shown limited interest in closer ties.
Which goes to show that Chinese officials have a better grasp of the real situation than our own president does...
Agreed. The Philippines wants to defend their territory, and I believe they can be effective, IF they have the means.
Seems they’re looking for a fight, or to humiliate limp-wrist. Dangerous to count on a wimp backing down in public. Sometimes, the wimp does something stupid to save face, like blow up the world.
The small suipde chinese vessel was more maneuverable. Why were no warnong shot sent out? Why did we risk ourselves?
I read about this incident last week, and I figured then that the Cowpens was maneuvering aggressively to get inside the Chinese screen so they could get some pics of the Laoning. Now, we didn’t like that very much when the Russians did it during my Navy time, I doubt the Chinese would like it very much either.
"American G.I. pray "chicken" pretty good ha ha ha!
My ship did this with a Russian vessel back in the 1970’s, very common.
Due to the heightened tensions in the S. China sea, my theory of the disappearance of Malaysian airlines flight 370 is that it was shot down by Chinese fighter jets.......
