Are we ready for WWIII?? Zero is having another billion white flags prepared so he’ll be ready to surrender at the first sign of trouble.

Here’s a novel idea. Why can’t they both use that region?

Both have shipped there without problem. Why does any of this have to be a problem now?

Let interests on behalf of any nations in the area drill there.

We have different nations drilling in the Gulf. They can do it too. Big deal...

None of this would be a problem if China would change it’s dirty diapers and join the rest of us in the 21st Century.

Hey Philippines! You used to have the world’s most powerful Navy and Air Force based in the Philippines but you decided you didn’t want them anymore. How’s THAT working out for you?

I don’t know the history of this area and its territorial disputes, but I know it is none of our business.

"China media warns Philippines of 'counterstrike' in South China Sea"

China media mothers slept with Russian infantry troops.

Anything that’s “yours” is only yours as long as you can hold it. It’s a mean world out there.

I wonder if there are enough islamists in the Philippines for 0bama to decide it is worth him posturing over this threat to one of our putative allies.

If you want to know what an Islamic population does to a society, study the Phillipines.

Private armies, bombings, drug trade to the infidels, insurgencies, murderous clan feuds.

Read Tom Clancy’s THREAT VECTOR (835 pages)for another slant on this problem. It’s a real page turner, don’t plan on a good nights sleep!

China numerically has about the same number of submarines as the United States.

http://www.strategypage.com/fyeo/howtomakewar/databases/submarine_database/submarines.asp

And while these are of significantly lower quality than ours, to their neighbors they represent a significant threat.

This being said, after threatening all their neighbors, the thought may have crossed the minds of some of them that were China to start having submarine accidents at sea, with no clear indication of their proximate cause, it would do much to reestablish balance in the region, and help keep the peace.

The actual technique to disappear a submarine could be as easy as some heavy netting and a big chunk of concrete poised on a cliff overlooking a large trench.
