We need o send a Surface Action Group (DDG/CG) through there 8 or 10 times to figure out if they can and will fight.

Mostly, we need to know if they can.

Under the present Regime, we have to know if our Military will be allowed to fight! Fight they will, and with a will, if not ham-stringed from behind!

I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

Their strategy is smart —building carriers takes a LONG time, and even longer to figger out how to use them.

Dredging?

Yeah, you suck up sand from over there, then dump it over HERE —just keep sucking and dumping to all hell.

Once you’ve got a real ton of those and their corresponding exclusion zones, it’s like they’re a whole bunch of super cheap, stationary carriers, and you can bug passing ships and planes AD INFINITUM.

They intend to make life for non-Chinese in the South and East China seas utter hell —permanently.

I guess the next big step will be when they shoot down either a Japanese or American recon plane.

They don’t have to fight, they only have to call in our debt.
