Vietnam has called on the US and other nations to help

!?!?!?! Help? Let the two red countries tear each other up. Why should we care. Sheesh.

As a bitter Vietnam veteran (Class of 66-67)..I hope that China nukes them, like we should have done in the first place.

We should care a great deal. The South China Sea is a vital strategic region including not only potentially vast oil reserves but the primary shipping lanes between the middle east and the rest of Asia including allies like Japan, the Phillipines, and the west coast of South America.

Allowing China to assert hegemony over international waters sets a dangerous precedent which renders our own security precarious.

Thank you and Amen to that! Why should we care one inch for either of these commies. Both are evil and our enemy. I say we instigate a war between the two and have then nuke each other back to the stone age. I lost my Uncle to the VN war. These sneaky, little guys got it coming. A good old fashion ass whipping is much needed.

Vietnam is no angel have a look at their sneaky and aggressive tactics. Stealing and conquering islands from our ally the Philippines, crying wolf when China steals what they have stolen from others. Can’t trust them...Nuke’em!
