South China Sea: Tensions skyrocket as 'provocative' Beijing swarms region with 'militia
www.msn.com ^ | 3/21/2021 | Dylan Donnelly

Delfin Lorenzana, Philippine defence chief, demanded China recall more than 200 fishing vessels, from a South China Sea reef it claims. Mr Lorenzana believes they are armed with militia. China has previously been accused of violating international law in sending its vessels to waters claimed by other Asia-Pacific countries.

The Philippines' coast guard reported around 220 armed fishing vessels were moored at Whitsun Reef, which Manila calls Julian Felipe Reef, on March 7.

Mr Lorenzana issued a statement condemning the presence of the boats in the Philippines-claimed portion of the South China Sea.

He described the their presence as a "provocative action of militarising the area".

The statement added: "We call on the Chinese to stop this incursion and immediately recall these boats violating our maritime rights and encroaching into our sovereign territory."

They are not ours. They can defend themselves. We are in dying mode as a nation & another war will end it for good.

Communist China claims all the way to Guam, Hawaii and the Aleutian Islands in Alaska. You should read about Communist China’s Island Defense Chains.

Guess they can have those as well? Or do you wait until they are invading Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles?

We either fight them there or here. Your choice.

China is making it’s move. And they believe nothing will happen because they own Joe Biden. He will roll over on this. They world is about to change dramatically. China will destroy us economically, and they will became the #1 world power. We have no leadership in DC

I apologize for any offense caused in advance but I live in a country where Big Government, Big Business and Big Media are trying to control me and lie to me just as surely as any Chinese Communist would.

Stop making me wear a mask at the store Big Business, stop arresting people for not wearing masks Big Government like the woman down in Texas was by the cops and Big Media they seem beyond any help right now because they are ultimately owned by Big Business.

Start building stores (We already have) of supplies, medicines, first aid kits, building supplies to build temporary shelters, etc. We will all be fleeing to the Rocky Mountains soon to escape the urban and cities as China just moves in. Biden will not do the right thing, and I believe we will be destroyed. And if Kamala steps into the chair, she’ll surrender us in a heartbeat

Print this up and get this out there in your precincts

There seems to be a refusal in certain political circles known as the Swamp to blame the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) for deliberately using the Wuhan virus to create an economy here which would prevent Trump get reelected. Letting that happen will create problems we don’t need. Time we point out the loss of employment and the corruption involved. and make China pay

What I don't like is that the deep state tended to twist the arms of our leaders and were able to use the US Military as their own world-wide bullies, unbeknownst to most of our fighting men.

Now with China-Joe in office, guess who now gets to use the US Military as their very own bullies? Yep, you got it, the CCP.

Pardon me, while I take another swig of "I SURE DO MISS TRUMP."

True. There was talk of a Philippines-Vietnamese alliance prior to the Xi-asslicker jet-ski Duterte taking power (his campaign self-admitted that the Communist Chinese funded his campaign)

Several times Vietnamese fisherfolk saved Filipino fisherfolk from Communist Chinese Cousy Guard and militia attacks and vice-versa

All the pro-Duterte poster on social media, likewise funded by the CCP (Twitter and Facebook found links between DDS, the Philippines military and the Chinese Communist Party)

This reminds of the old Mutual of Omaha Animal Kingdom TV series, like how say certain ant colonies grow too big to sustain themselves, stripping everything around them to feed off of....

More like love-love.

Trump was turning him back to the US.
Duterte hated Obama manly times referring him to roughly: a stupid faggot son-of-bitch
He hates the pussy Biden as well

Thread by an expert who has been following the buildup for a year.

Makes some surmises including:
“I don’t have a map for this, but this is the path all fishing boats take: to get into the Union Banks, they pass through a gap west of Whitsun Reef. This applies to virtually all ships of all nationalities...”
