If there was ever an opportunity for China to secure and expand what is euphemistically called a “sphere of influence” in which only the Chinese military is allowed to operate, now is the time.
If China were to invade Taiwan or sink a U.S. warship in international waters, it is difficult to conceive of the Obama administration even criticizing this, much less doing anything about it.
Thus perceived weakness actually increases the risk of war. These are dangerous times we live in and the Obama administration has made it that much more so.
Fits the pattern: Dems let the nation’s guard down and invite enemies to make a first strike.
Nah, they are watching us self-destruct. When the USA hits bottom (or finds itself in a civil war), THAT's when China will strike.
