By sending five warships into Alaskan territorial waters while President Obama visited the 49th state to eat bear-killed salmon, rename Mt. McKinley, and warn of non-existent climate change,, China has made a similar statement that it intends this to be the Chinese century, a message our commander-in-chief has studiously ignored.

Do we not send ships through areas of the South China Sea that China considers her territorial waters?
To: b4its2late
Obama ignores a lot. He's the least qualified everywhere he goes.

He wanted to apologize so bad but feared the publicity.

One of the things I noticed about the photos of the PLA Navy ships is that they were doing an UNREP! Back in the Day, the Russians had to go to an anchorage to resupply because they never were able to master underway replenishment.

What China considers to be its “territorial waters” are in reality international waters under centuries-old customary international law.

I read someone that Iran is playing with us in the Strait of Hormuz also.

Folks, this pathetic traitor wouldn’t give a damn if half the PLA was marching down Pennsylvania Avenue, just so long as it didn’t interrupt his golf game or sauna sessions with Reggie Love.
Counting the minutes to 12:00 P.M. EST on 1/20/2017 - it should be declared a national holiday!

What China considers to be its “territorial waters” are in reality international waters under centuries-old customary international law. And that definition also applies to the Bering Sea, does it not?

What does Obama care about Alaska?
They gave him no electoral votes, and are not "his people."
Next thing you know he will be re-naming Mount McKinley after some pagan god "Denali" or something......
