So if we go to war with China while President Trump is in office doesn’t he get to stay in office? Probably stupid question but I thought transfer of power would wait.

" On Sunday the USS Makin Island and USS Somerset entered the contested area according to the South China Sea Probing Initiative (SCSPI).The SCSPI is a Beijing based think tank which tracks western military movements in the South China Sea."

Just which Sunday did this happen? Last Sunday or next Sunday?

How far out from the mainland do most Country’s borders extend? For fishing rights isn’t it like 200 miles?

For countries which are closer than the 200mi limit, it should be half the distance minus a buffer zone, which is deemed international waters.

Let’s say 25% of the distance as a starting point.

How is international airspace determined?

These lefties want to live and die by the UN, but then disregard international law.

Since the drill involved the destruction of a pre-positioned ‘mock enemy’ ship, I would think that our ships intentionally entered the vicinity to observe the weaponry trial. It’s not likely that the commie scum are towing mock enemy ships around in the S. China Sea in order to stage tests/demonstrations whenever our ships enter the vicinity of one.

I know.

Those rockets appear to have done some pretty good damage though.
