This is an important and dangerous confrontation. If China shoots down anything, it could result in war.
China is trying to find a wedge between the Japanese / American alliance. And they have rightly diagnosed Obama as a weak leader. The U.S. should have declared these islands as under Japanese control and not merely ‘administration’. That left an opening for China.
The main problem for China is none of their neighbors like them and they will over reach. Overall, it looks like they are itching for a war. And I’m not sure the American people or its president have the backbone to commit to their treaty obligations.
obama is looking for something to distract against his disastrous domestic policy so he chooses a disastrous foreign policy..
You mean, like when the Soviet Union shot down Korean Air Lines flight 007 in 1983 in the Sea of Japan (a commercial airliner carrying a U.S. congressman)? There was no war then between the U.S.S.R. and the U.S.A. And with Obama firmly in control, there will be no war with China. Heck, Obama would blame our allies if their plane were shot down by China.
