cool. as we sift through destroyed cities hoping to find a can of food, we can all slap each other on the back and shout "we won!"Originally Posted by LeoVlaming
**** that, **** war, and **** dick measuring contests over islands that most of us didn't even realize existed.
You simply have no clue what you are talking about.
incorrect. a full scale war with China would be utterly disastrous for the US, for China, and for most of the rest of the world. do you think Russia is just going to sit on its hands and sip vodka through a straw? do you think Europe will remain idle as we lob nukes at each other? man, you hawks really don't think these things through, do you?
if anyone has no idea what he is talking about, it's you.
They claimed the islands and are making more.They own the islands, why can't they build military installations on them.
And beginning to interfere with travel & commerce.
That's the difference.
Tell me ... If Trump found some shallow waters, say 12 miles off the coast of China, where he could dredge up some ocean floor and make himself an island and then let someone build a military installation on it & chased everyone away claiming it's own 12 mile, or more, territorial limits, would China be upset? Would you?

Good luck in Hawaii and along the west coast. I'll send non-irradiated canned food as soon as cross country shipping is restored. The horses have already advised me that they aren't available for that enterprise. Seems they've unionized behind my back because the pasture is lush. We'll see how that holds up next winter.
Greetings, humbolt.
"Whinnying" is close enough in sound to "whining" to be generally accepted, so be open-minded in your union negotiations, but watch body language...that will be critical when you get to the "sweet feed" subsection. It's the little things that cause the biggest problems!:
Guam was settled many decades ago. That do not justify China or any other country taking territory by whatever means from another.
You are using what happened in the US past history to justify China's today.
They always show up for that. And I boost the protein and other stuff during the winter, and all I get are them looking at each other and claiming it's the SOS. I'm under-appreciated. This will come up next fall. Assuming, of course, that we all aren't annihilated before then.Greetings, humbolt.

Unlike some here, I don't see WWIII looming over this. Whatever China seeks to gain, they seem to be losing on the other end as the Philippines are seriously considering inviting our navy back to Subic Bay.
Neither has Chinese statements helped either- mouthpiece news outlets, speaking for the Govt have stated war can be possible.
As to the Philippines, same with India aligning with the US. Why is that alignment taking place? China and past wars with India, territorial grabs.
China has base rights for a seaport in Pakistan. How it that any different from the US?
Same as their plan to have naval base rights in Sri Lanka. Right by India.
With the SC Seas and Sri Lanka they could have 2 choke points.
India-China Border Dispute
On assuming power, the People‘s Republic of China (PRC) renounced all prior foreign agreements as unequal treaties imposed upon it during the "century of humiliation" and demanded renegotiation of all borders. The Sino-India border remains the only major territorial dispute, other than South China Sea disputes, that China has not resolved. China‘s growing assertiveness in its territorial claims, especially on Arunachal Pradesh, and its relentless development of infrastructure in Tibet will shape the prospects of Sino-India relations.
The territory stretching from the jungles of northern Myanmar, westward to the Karakoram Range, and northward to the edge of the Tibetan plateau can be seen as a single geopolitical system referred to as the Himalayan-Tibetan massif. The ruggedness of this terrain makes movement of men and materiel extremely difficult, thus preventing Indian and Chinese civilizations from intermingling or projecting military power in these remote areas effectively. Not until 1962 did the Chinese and Indian armies fight each other over these desolate heights, thus altering the geopolitics of the region significantly.
Is it the oil and gas under the South China sea, or the shipping lanes they're most interested in? Both could be, I guess, but both would require international discussions. Who "owns" the Suez Canal?
