Let’s hope the Chicoms chill out till after we throw Obama out. THEN they can start the war so we can help China solve its overpopulation problem.
But probably they’ll start the war ASAP.
However, trade sanctions could wreck their shaky economy, so they won't go to war.
and this is actually about grabbing the natural gas reserves there. Under a previous Philippine president, they almost got an ok to steal these after a large bribe...luckily the press got hold of the story and it was stopped. The president now is a reformer and not bribable, although those around him are.
There is an election in a year or 2 so China will wait and see if the next President here can be persuaded to look the other way.
and check a map...getting control of these island could let them block air and sea lanes to Japan and Korea.
This can’t be true. Not with President Peace Frog in office.
This is the predictable results of a Chamberlain style foreign policy.
Not to worry the Clintons sold us out to the chinese long ago
China is not going to go to war with it’s cash cow.
artificial islands and typhoon. maybe one good typhoon will wipe them out, then end of story!
Obama will ponder at great length what he should do and then decide on a course of action that will do the greatest harm to the United States and any other country that is our ally or even the nationalist Vietnamese.
No problem. They are asking a nitwit to come back from al his red line statements about protecting our friends. It’s what this pos does best.
