    This is as close as you can come to committing an act or war while still leaving yourself enough room to wiggle out of it. Apparently the world is going to wait until the Chinese navy actually kills someone before doing something.

    oh China…maybe it’s time to give them some kind of warning shot. We also gave Russia a pass on many things and we all know how this has turned out…

    a good, old fashioned fuck around and find out…

      Needs to be an economic warning shot. Let’s stop letting China build everything and ship it all over the world.

        Lol too late for that. They have already surpassed the USA in everything except military spending, prisoner population, and opioid deaths.

    Like I said in another thread, it seems like the CCP has settled on the opposite of the big stick diplomacy of the US.

    In polite company I like to call it small stick diplomacy.
