No way. If you've been paying attention -- and you have, because you're here -- then you know what the ChiComs are doing. Kinetic response time, this is gunboat politics behind a grab for the entire water column and the seabed, and everything below the seabed.
Can't slip the punch anymore. The Chinese need to get swept, now.
If it means that a big piece of the PLA Navy needs to go away, then so be it.
people are unaware of the predatory way in which the chinese commies have been snapping up access to many of the world’s rarest minerals and resources. they’ve practically recolonized africa and it’s all been done on the back of our trade deficit with them. they are waging war against us. it’s in the early stages. like a chess game, they are setting up the board for their endgame.
feckless leaders like Clinton, Bush, Obammy have really hurt us badly in preparing for this endgame.
