It would be sweet to see the ChiComs embroiled in Vietnam quagmire of their own.

How will the Vietnamese do without China and Russia supplying them with military hardware and expertise?

Obama famously pronounced that he has a phone, and a pen.

Has he found any more Red Ink, yet?

This could get interesting. Not that they need my advise, but I’d advise the Vietnamese to prepare for border incursions and/or cross border artillery fire.

From Twitter:

China’s defence ministry:
“Media reports of the emergency mobilisation of PLA troops on the China-Vietnam border are false.”

Will the Obama administration release any sat photos of the buildup?

He’ll stand with the Muslims when the political winds turn in an ugly direction. Sense no Muslims are at risk here, he’ll just play some golf.

“Beijing Bob?”

Who knows??
What I do know is that to try and apply western logic to China’s long-term plans is a loser.

There are pics on the net of pallets stacked 4 feet high with M1s, BARs, Thompsons, and carbines. All left in a field to rust away.

I thought the oil rig was clearly inside Vietnamese waters. Nothing disputed at all. The Chinese are in the wrong.
