China’s probing. They aren’t saying there will be a war over the Spratleys. They are saying we won’t be willing to wage it, and as such China is. The good folks in that part of the world that believed us when we said we’d take care of them are probably looking at Europe and saying, “I would bet against the US actually keeping their word.”
That’s especially true with an affirmative action hire in the WH.
The Chinese need to understand the United States IS NOT Obama.
