Were they in Japanese waters? or just really close?

[Shaun_MD]

I can’t tell if they were in Japanese territorial waters or not.

[GeronL]

Wouldn’t that be much more alarming?

Thank you.

Yes, have been following this very closely.

The new boldness is linked inextricably to the policies of one Mr. Barack Insane Obama, if you ask me (and many others in Japan and the Region nowadays).

[Shaun_MD]

Is this is sop for the Chinese Navy?

[GeronL]

Looking at a map that looks like Japanese waters to me.

Although I also know there is a huge US military presence on Okinawa. Did the US forces notice this fleet? Did it not share that with Japan?

Barack has certainly emboldened our adversaries.

[GeronL]

They are bolder than ever

[Shaun_MD]

With Obama in the White House, can you blame them? The whole world is laughing at us, with the exception of our enemies, who are too busy licking their chops.

The US Navy has also spotted several russian submarines patrolling near the east coast in recent months. Obama endangers all of us by the day.

Believe me, as I have been telling people since November, Obongo's bowing to leaders in Asia speaks volumnes, and is emboldening people (leaders, military planners and foreign policy officials) far beyond where they should be emboldened.

And we know it is not just noobie White House incompetence now. We are way past that.

It is deliberate. This man is a clear and present danger to the United States of America and our allies. I wont hesitate to say that any more from now on. I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt; and he is going to get us into a WAR or a SERIES OF WARS as a result of this projection of "soft power" as they call it, amongst a world of wolves.

[Shaun_MD]

I had not heard that. Do you have a link?

[Rockingham]

Time for Japan to rearm.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Some of this is not open source. However, I can say that it may well have been into Japanese waters, at least briefly, as a test but more than likely they kept in international waters and are just playing cat and mouse games for the time being. They are coming increasingly close, though. It is still under investigation, i.e. as to exactly what they were doing over there on Sunday night.

[Shaun_MD]

Agreed. That’s the gameplan. Destroy the current system so they can pick up the pieces and rebuild it into their socialist utopia. You can’t very well have that as long as we are still a center right, capitalist country.

Who is the FReeper that keeps us up to date on Chinese naval power?

[Shaun_MD]

Not sure, But AmericanInTokyo is in a very good place to know.

It is deliberate. This man is a clear and present danger to the United States of America and our allies.

I agree, and I believe that it is his intent to have us taken down a peg or two to fulfill the fantasies of him and his America-hating cohort.
