Pointless posturing over some worthless landmass so we can pound our chest and say “See, we’re still a Super Power, bitches!”

It is said that the waters off the islands hold a lot of natural resources.
I am not very excited about US and China militarily posturing towards each other.
Nobody is excited about it, but you and I both know that the current Commander-In-Chief doesn’t want anything to do with China, and that he needs as many possible news cycles worth of distractions from his disastrous eponymous legislation as he can get.
We’re tough guys now, we put our foot right into Old Man China’s lawn.
I have no problems with the B-52’s flying over there, but have the
Chinese never heard ‘‘Rock Lobster’’ before?

Pointless since China didn’t shoot down our sacrificial lambs. If they had just cooperated and shot down our unarmed planes…well, just think of the possibilities! We’re already at war with…I don’t know- lots of countries/groups/things… Maybe we could even start drafting peasants into military service again!

Hadn’t thought about it like that yet.
Dogs are fascinating. You ever notice that a dog will sniff a vertical surface, and if another dog has pissed on it, he’ll piss on it too?
Same principle, it seems.

Yes. The Obama administration equivalent of the Sudanese aspirin factory bombing.
You’re way too kind Varq.

Yeah marking their territory. And if those 2 dogs are by that same pole at the same time… dog fights can break out. China has their Aircraft carrier headed to the pole as we type, I guess to piss on it some more.
“Hey look, a distraction!”
Seriously, though. There’s nothing there.
The Chinese have always played their cards close to the vest and we really never know what they’re holding. Supposedly their Navy strength will soon surpass ours if it hasn’t already.
About those jets… if you’re going to provoke those rice paddy-wading smog-choking zipper heads, go with a B-52.

In this case, who has the bigger penis?

Contests like this always go from who has the bigger penis, to who can be the biggest dick. Subtle difference, but significant. The Chinese have been at the being a dick game longer, but we proudly boast more advanced dicknology.

Their aircraft carrier is made entirely of fire crackers. There is a wick back by the props and if you lite it that thing will go off for like two hours.
Close…these are refurbished, Diesel run Boats they bought from the Ukraine.
Many tend to be overly sensitive in the buildup of the Chinese Military when
the reality is they’ve still got a Looooong way to go before they even BEGIN
to be any kind of match with what we have.

This. I work for a defense contractor and I get a DoD newsletter daily at work via email. It tells who is buying what and how many among other things. Countries all around China, they’re arming up with US goodies. Taiwan, South Korea, India, etc.
The DoD is taking China very seriously.
