Obama isn’t doing anything - possibly - the news, I think it was a commentator on FOX who claimed to have an inside source at the Pentagon said that SecNav and CNO sent the USS Lassen on their own without even consulting Valerie Jarrett

Are you telling me the ambassador actually said that? Aare you sure? this is not the injection of FR humor?
Remember when he went to China and got placed with the leader’s wives? What an insult to Obama and our country!

Beijing is attempting to build artificial islands, while other states in the region are looking to the US to flex its military muscle on their behalf First, China was smart and the other countries are jealous for not building their own islands first. Second, it's not our responsibility to baby sit the world. Just like babies, all we get in return is spit up on and pooped on for our troubles.

South China Sea: Beijing 'not frightened to fight a war' after US move Not a big surprise.
There was once a statistic that China could fight a war and lose 20,000 men a day... forever.
That was 40years ago!

No, he did NOT say that. It was an attempt at humor.

Ok, thanks. Funny. I was a little more dense than usual this morning. :)
I pity the poor sailors that have to sail through the gauntlet knowing we have a weak CINC. No more Pueblos!

Well, North Korea captured the Pueblo while the US was outside of the legal 12 mile limit. The North Koreans, though, claim a 200 mile limit as part of their territory.

This is pablum for the Chinese masses, who will see through the butt-covering rhetoric. If they weren't afraid of fighting a war, they'd have detained the destroyer or attacked it if it resisted boarding attempts. That's what North Korea did with the
Pueblo in the late 60's. Note the the Pueblo sailed *outside* the 12-mile limit whereas this destroyer sailed inside that limit. Of course, the Pueblo's complement of weaponry consisted mainly of two .50 caliber machine guns, and could be relied on to offer little resistance. Whereas the Lassen is loaded with weaponry.
