Just a hypothetical: Suppose that, in an effort to embarrass the United States, a Russian or a Chinese ship attempts to run the blockade. Then what?
I suppose that a warning shot across the bow would be the traditional response. But then what if the Russian or Chinese captain is bold, or has specific instructions? Than what?
The war is coming anyway, the longer we wait, the more loss of life will occur on our side..time to cut bait or fish
.....”I suppose that a warning shot across the bow would be the traditional response. But then what if the Russian or Chinese captain is bold, or has specific instructions? Than what?”......
Now that “then what” does sound quite familiar doesn’t it? ..the Cuban missile Crisis no doubt faced exactly that.....but this situation is different obviously so.
Both China and Russia have been emboldened since obama’s Presidency. They have been moving pretty much at will throughout his time...gaining economically and in trade agreements of pipelines etc...and also the new silk road partnership.....which hard-wires countries one to the other.........which is another war of a different color but war non the less.
So neither China nor Russia want to see another military war....so the question is to them how much is Fatboy on his throne worth it. That we shall see as they’re experts at stalling.
