Beijing furious over US exercises
China is furious at the prospect of further naval exercises between the US and South Korea in the Yellow Sea. Military manoeuvres last month came as the US took sides with Vietnam, Malaysia and other countries in their long disputes with China over control of areas of the resource-rich South China Sea.

This week, the George Washington engaged in naval exercises with the country's former enemy Vietnam. Last month, the US carrier was at the centre of initial exercises with South Korea aimed at agitating North Korea, which sunk the naval ship Cheonan in May, killing 46 people.

And China is anti-religion. Didn’t they have a “squabble” a while back with the “religion of peace” brigade in one of their provinces?
Obama and company are saying “Hey China, resume buying our T-bills or we will deprive you of resources in your sphere of influence”. It’s a trading incentive.
Obama and company would do anything to keep the money flowing into their coffers.
It is all about money. It always has been. Obama and his low class thugs are mostly into looting our tax dollars for themselves under the name of “economic justice”. If he gets us in a war for that, then its just other people getting killed - presenting no moral difficulty for the Democrats, union thugs etc..
In an inner city its a gang racket. On the global scale its called marxist politics.
President Obama is bringing a Carrier into the Yellow Sea because North Korea sunk a South Korean military ship. This is serious business and North Korea could start something by accident or design that could touch off the next great war.
They did. Many executions and much death - still ongoing...
USA now allies with the VIET CONG?
During my days in the military we fought the VC.
The world is turned upside down.
Do we have BASES in Communist Vietnam? (shock & awe)
Good point! The Chinks could nuke Houston, Dallas, and New Orleans with missles from their submarines in the Gulf of Mexico!
I’m suprised Bo hasn’t asked them to take part in the excercises.
They are liable to screw it up seven ways to Sunday and then some, and we will all have a hefty price to pay. All for the sake of some stupid "October Surprise".
I may get peppered with buckshot in cyberspace here for such a blasphemy, but I do believe that many U.S. Vietnam Vets will be actually alive to witness some sort of military or intelligence cooperation between the US military and the Vietnamese Communists (former NVA and VC), in an alliance against Red China, maybe even in the field together in some sort of joint action, the red and yellow commie Viet flag right next to the Stars and Stripes. Over 35 years have passed since the very end of our dust-up with Hanoi and the PRG. That is an eternity in world politics and power shifts.
You’re 100% right...but for an old war horse like me and many other Vietnam dog soldiers, “Victor Charlie” will always be the enemy.
It was an honor to serve THE FREE REPUBLIC!
China has nothing. They could fold at anytime.
