"They have had situations where they (China’s navy) have intervened on our behalf, where one of our ships was being approached by a non-navy Chinese ship and being kind of harassed, and the commander of the [Chinese] warship said, ‘I’ve spoken with this guy (U.S. ship commander), he’s on constant course and speed, get out of the way, and actually positioned himself [between the ships]. And, there are a few examples of this. We are starting to shape events. We have got to manage our way through this, in my opinion, through this East China Sea and South China Sea [tensions]. We’re not leaving. They know that. They would be the leadership of the Chinese navy. We believe that we have to manage our way through this," said Greenert.

Sounds like the Chinese warship put itself in the way of the US Navy ship.

Ya wanna “shape” some events? Take out China’s illegal oil derrick.

The US Navy, under Obama, is more concerned with protecting trannies and homosexuals than American interests.

Expect nothing positive until we have an adult in charge at the White House.

A 289 ship navy is a disgrace.

Like they did in the Gulf of Tonkin 45 years ago? Which led to ...

Admiral Jonathan Greenert. And this joke of a CNO is bragging that the Chinese navy made a commercial ship quit bullying a US warship.

Pathetic.

[Colorado Doug]

Words fail me. They really do.
