A mere test to test oblunder. Expect him to do nothing and for China to proceed onto Taiwan.

"Abe's path of militarism and provocation"

The ChiComs never change their style of rhetoric.

So is Zero Hedge cheering for the Chicoms? Last I checked, the Japanese are on our side, and the Chicoms are the militarists.

There is a mutual defense treaty with the US.

China’s sword rattling is nothing new.

“Battle will be restricted”

Any military planner making assumptions like that is an idiot. Battles have a way of getting out of hand quickly.

Once the first shot is fired, you no longer have control over events.

When ChiCom rhetoric goes up like this it means power struggles in the party.

"There is a mutual defense treaty with the US."

Oh, so now you're counting on the nation that you bash at every turn of the road, the nation you turned chicken-a** and deserted, to come save your cowardly carcass from the evil Chicoms? Wow! You really are a piece of sh...uh, work.

Hey manger dawgs...didn't someone say that ol' Alex admitted he doesn't pay his expat taxes anymore?

This is more than sabre-rattling. China's goal is to be the sole dominant force in Asia. This exercise is to see if the current US President will honor America's treaty obligations. From what he has shown so far, I suspect China already knows the answer to that question.

At some point, Obama will urge the Philippines to cede control to China in order to avoid the inevitable conflict while informing them that he will remain neutral in the event of any escalation on China's part.

...after giving that a few seconds more thought, I’ve heard reports that would make my statement categorically false.
