What’s China up to/ Troops massed on their borders with DPNK and India...all the while threatening Japan and the Phillipines. Why so belligerent and why now?
Because now they can back it up and we have Obama for a president so we won’t do a damn thing about it.
> Why so belligerent and why now?
Could a weak U.S. not in a position to help anyone except Islamic countries, thanks to Obama, have something to do with it?
“Why so belligerent and why now?”
Because they know Emperor Nero Kardashian Narcissus will do nothing other than beg the UN to send them an angry letter.
Not sure why anyone is surprised here at the Chinese actions. Lets not forget the 40+ fighter jets that flew near the Seneka islands off Japan yesterday plus the 8 surveillance ships the same day entering japanese waters. Simple put China has been building its military capabilities to fight and win wars as their current Chairman stated publicly almost a year ago. Somehow we though war was code for a new Chinese takeout menu or Great Wall tour package. Their English might not be so great but pretty sure they used a translator to get the “War” message right. The Chinese want a war but they also want the moral high ground which means that they tried to start one using their proxy North Korea and when we didn’t bite they escalated tensions on every front. Their goal is simple. Start a war to prove that America does not have the will to defend any of its allies against China. This will in turn allow China to bully everyone else into submission without firing a shot. They need the moral high ground to make the strategy work. They get the moral high ground by slowly heating the pot with sustained ongoing provocations until one of their targets take any action to stop them. That’s why we see these highly proactive Chinese provocations with little response other than international complaints and battles in the media. What we should do is stop buying their crap followed by kicking their asses in a small but decisive battled in response to one of these clear provocations. Use the opportunity to launch a trade embargo after the battle.
