Time to bomb.

[Scrambler Bob]

Well Darn,

I’ve been losing my weapons in lakes, ponds, rivers and streams.

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

[The Toll]

So act like America and put weapons on the Moon. Screw these people! Stop buying their crap!

[Darteaus94025]

Thanks China, for creating a target rich environment!

[Texan5]

Now some scientist here needs to devise a way to create a directional tsunami...

China is surrounded by quite a few allies, formal and informal, some quite militarily powerful, some with large nuclear weapons forces, more with ABM defense systems. The situation now is why a large part of our own defense was moved to the area for a decade or so.

She’s bluffing.

I’m not logging in to read the article. What weapon systems do they say are being implement?

[central_va]

Ever notice how the Free Republic Free Trade Army (Free Traitors for short) avoid the “Chinese hostilities likely” threads like the plague.

I bet the soldiers defending that little thing, are hoping that war won’t start.

Pretty serious development.

Poking around on Google Maps, I see there’s a LOT of islands around there. They could pull off a series of “nautical jurisdiction” claims, taking over what are barely considered islands, and (as noted) building artificial islands where convenient & needed to extend claims further. Then, of course, they’d militarily enforce their claims, taking over and/or shutting down much of the South China Sea.

Look for things to get very lively on the world stage in the next 6 months.
And the USA will, on the whole, just look on and gawk.

If you see the H-6 based there, it’s a clear indication of their intentions. That’s their anti-shipping cruise missile platform.

[Jack Hammer]

Looks like they’re ‘pulling a Tibet’ on the Philippines.
