China expanded into the South China Sea as we know, building islands and arming them. They are now expanding into the South Pacific.
They have already taken over the Solomon Islands. While Joe Biden pushes proper pronoun usage, the Solomon Islands made a deal with China.
The Solomon Islands denies that China will be able to establish a military base on its territory. But the accord appears to allow for military police deployments from the People’s Liberation Army and possible naval access, The South China Morning Post reports.
The deal with China, judging from a leaked draft, spells out a system for the Pacific country to request assistance from Chinese police, armed police, military personnel, and other armed forces. Australia, also asleep at the wheel, was allegedly surprised by this aspect of the deal.
According to the draft text, the agreement would give China an avenue to “make ship visits to, carry out logistical replenishment in, and have stopover and transition in the Solomon Islands”, while Chinese forces could also be used “to protect the safety of Chinese personnel and major projects in the Solomon Islands”.
We lost 1600 soldiers, and more than 4,600 were injured to free the Solomon Islands. This past week, when a US ship asked to refuel, the Solomon Islands would not respond to the US request.
China isn’t stopping at the Solomon Islands
Tarawa Beach, the Bloodiest Battle of the War
There are little islands 1800 miles south of Hawaii now under China’s control. They seek to build an airbase there.
The Republic of Kiribati (once called Tarawa) has a 20-year vision that looks set to be integrated into China’s Belt and Road Initiative. It gives highest priority to building two ‘transhipment hubs’—major ports in a tiny country that has no economic market for such facilities.
According to National Interest, one hub is planned at the capital of Tarawa Atoll in the west, which was the site of the first major amphibious landing by US forces in the push against Japan during World War II. The second is planned at the strategically located Kiritimati (‘Christmas’) Atoll in the east, directly south of Hawaii and the major US bases in that area.
The Battle of Tarawa in November 1943 in the modern-day Republic of Kiribati was one of the bloodiest battles of the war. Human remains are uncovered to this day. According to the Smithsonian, the nonprofit organization History Flight located the graves of 30 marines and sailors in the Pacific atoll of Tarawa.
Once again, we have a group of communists in the WH (FDR Biden) who are sitting around while the japs chicoms gobble up the Pacific regions...
The biggest difference is that the chicom's sneak attack killed 3-times as many Americans as the jap's sneak attack and the Americans waved the white flag...
Eva needs a torch.
Well you do realize that people are good at only two things;
F#CKING and FIGHTING!
well said.
nope. Freepers here have said they all of that. They are isolationists.
“Good Night, Chesty— wherever you are!”
God Bless the USMC, and the Army that followed them. Guadalcanal post WWII went through major socialist changes to what it is now.
Chi-coms need to burn for trying to re-do the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere of the Empire of Japan. There is nothing to justify their doing this other than Communist Tyranny (which they call.. Belt and Road).
Peleliu was bloodier faster than Tarawa and longer, too.
Genesis 5 KJV
5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.
...
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
what the heck does ‘neocon’ mean anyway?
Originally it meant “neoconservative”, as opposed to the “paleoconservatives” types like Pat Buchanan and the John Birch Society, or I guess just plain old middle of the road conservatives. They were founded by a group of New York Trotskyite communists led by Bill Kristol’s dad, Irving Kristol, founder of National Review. They supposedly “saw the light” and switched from being communists to fight against the left, but many people see them as just trying to use a different strategy to enact leftist policies, by play acting as conservatives to control the opposition.
