I have no problem with the Chinese building islands. None. Why?

If we wanted to build islands, we would.

I am concerned that we are sticking our nose in someone else’s business.

We don’t need to stop this, we need to take care of our borders and our people. We need to be strong not a bully.

Because the islands they are building are in a position in the East China sea that will allow China to control and choke off the narrow shipping lanes that connect the Western and Eastern hemispheres. They have HUGE international implications for all of our allies in the region. China is effectively creating a situation akin to having a Panama Canal that all of it's neighbors have to go through to ship their goods.

The inverted morality and fantasy world of totalitarian supporters pretending to be isolationists never ceases to amaze me.
These are islands hundreds of miles away from the coast of China in the territorial waters of other nations.
It's one thing to say that this is none of our concern or should be none of our concern. It is quite another to endorse land theft by the butchers of Beijing and then pretend that you are isolationist, when you are taking a stance for the communists.
