Actually, this move is the one intelligent thing he’s done. Problem is, does he have a plan if the Chinese decide to call him on it? Unfortunately his record says “no,” or at the most says there is a plan but he won’t employ it.
It will be very tempting for the Chinese to test him further... unless they are afraid Obama will call for a boycott of their dog food or something.
Oh, no. Yet another DU troll.
There’s nothing intelligent about this cretin and his band of political generals and admirals.
How many fronts do you want this nincompoop on?
“Actually, this move is the one intelligent thing he’s done.”
Agree.
Never pull a weapon unless you are committed to use it.
This provocative action by dungo is the same as unholstering the gun without a round in the chamber.
It will come to ruin. The Chinese started this a long time ago and nobody did a thing. It has gone so far that the only thing to be done is to destroy the manufactured islands. The consequence of that, most likely a war, isn’t worth it now.
Obama could always draw a red line in the South china Sea and hope in a 21st century Battle of Midway.
