It is compounded by Obama's fanatical environmental positions, but with nary a mention about the destruction of these ecological wonders.

Isn’t this how WW2 started.....demands for lands?
Meanwhile Obama throws a lavish state dinner for the current dictator of China. Just being flexible.
This is our business how?
They are building unsinkable aircraft carriers.
It will be interesting to see how well these outposts
stand up to a real Typhoon.
They are building artificial islands and placing air craft and warships there.That way they can claim the area is there’s and ban freedom of navigation in the area.
While we could, if we wanted to, expel them, there is a more prudent course:
1. Refuse to recognize OR respect their territorial claim.
2. Negotiate a permanent arrangement with the Philippines to keep substantial US assets at Clark Air Base. At least a full fighter wing.
This would deny the Chinese ALL of the strategic benefit they hoped for. All.
Then, watch the Chinese, over the years turn these reefs back into someplace for fishing boats to anchor.
Clark AB is but 400 miles from the Spratlys.
An ecological disaster, but it’s OK because the ChiCom’s are alleged redistributionists.
Let them enjoy their islands. But state the US policy is that only natural land features will be treated as part of that nation for territorial claim purposes. Sail through often.
Seems like we need global warming as letting the seas rise defeats one enemy.
Can they build fast enough to overcome the rise in sea levels? /s
EPA and Army Corps of Engineering permitting, if it were permitted at all, would take 15 years, and Hundreds of Millions of dollars in Environmental Impact Studies before one single teaspoon of sand would move.
