So if the islanders vote to join China, T1 will declare it illegal, and the US would then send troops to Taiwan? Mind if Israel remains neutral on this one, too?

Oh, this is fun. We aren't even out of Afghanistan yet and Obama is telling the Russians and the Chinese that he's ready to raise the ante. I wonder what hand he'll show if they both decide to call?

The Chinese could row a boat to these islands, stick a Chinese flag in the ground, and if no Japanese fought back that would be it. And everybody knows it.

Japan is going to get DOUBLE +
screwed by O’bummer-
1. He is going to MAKE them give concessions on trade-
2. He will then say we back them militarily - LOL
(they will find out when the Chinese create a
“fishing village” on their islands)
++- the plus??- O’bummer is giving China special
knowledge of U.S. intentions- and of course..U.S.
technology.

So let it be written. So let it be done. (Yul Brenner as Pharaoh in “The Ten Commandments.”)
Now Barry the Honorary Member of the Muslim Brotherhood has said the same to Japan.
I have to wonder if the Japanese are saying, “Why would he do that to us? What did we ever do to him? Why does he hate us? We might as well relocate our citizens from the islands because they are as good as lost with this fool in charge. “
