    Its greenwater. Their nukes are on rail, moving unpredictably and on noisy subs.

    Why would you want to get multiple platforms up close where the Chinese rockets would have no problem destroying them? We have rockets that can drop a package on Xi's toilet after being launched from 1600 PA. The newest one is just being tested.

    Admirals of the Chinese People's Army Navy, (that's what they call it, they really believe strongly in Unified Forces) have this thing about making bellicose statements semiannually so nobody in China forgets they exist.

    The farther the distance the more time it takes to make the trip. You want to reduce the time they have to think about how to react. If you hit the command centers first will the field commanders take independent action? You hit them seconds later and then saturate the population centers. Game over.

    Well, they're trying to annex part of a sea, a part that we sailed some warships through recently, against their wishes. Does that sound like a successful annexation to you?

    They may have a second strike capability (I sincerely wonder how many of their ballistic missile subs are currently being tailed by US Navy SSNs), but it almost certainly does not include the ability to "destroy all of the US".

    All of these things are true-if you did more reading perhaps you would be better informed.

    Will the generals be capable of acting on their own?

    Yeah, mate... not seeing sources. So I guess I have to dismiss the claim as rubbish until you actually are able to prove something.

    Not if the mission was to control the South China Sea. Our FONOPS prove that they haven't accomplished that mission.


    North Dakotans?

    Oh really? Nothing can pass by it without their knowledge. They got their military base right on that island. Nobody was able to lift a finger against it.

    Nobody bothered to lift a finger against it, not out of a lack of ability. I wonder how many US Navy missiles have the precise coordinates of Fiery Cross Reef programmed into their guidance computer, and how many seconds after a hot war starts before the entire "island" is reduced to a pile of rubble - I bet the answers are some variant of "a lot" and "not many", respectively. Having knowledge of the ships that pass by is not the same thing as exerting effective control over the South China Sea. The very fact that they're merely observing as US Navy warships sail all through what they want to pretend is their territory should make that abundantly clear.

    We both know that Trump huffed and puffed all over this, and the Chinese just went on with building their island with military outpost etc. It is what it is. I don't care for your analyzing why the Donald was too chicken to do something.

    Trump? You are confused. The ChiComs built the military base on Fiery Cross Reef during the Obama administration. Here's a link:

    You honestly think I can not find a source where Donald has a very explicit opinion about what China does in that sea? lol

    We are in the here and now. Donald is at the helm.
    He doesn't lift 1 finger. Just as weak as Obama on this topic.

    LOL! You just got busted blaming Trump for Obama's failure. You should eat your humble pie in silence.

    Of course Trump has an opinion. That's why he's sending warships to sail past Fiery Cross Reef: to remind the Chinese that they don't own the South China Sea.

    Busted? Trump is just as weak as Obama. This is from the Trump era:

    https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/10/us-presses-china-to-halt-militarization-of-south-china-sea.html
    Standing side by side, top U.S. officials urged their Chinese counterparts on Friday to halt militarization of the disputed South China Sea


    China just shrugs it all off and goes on with it. lol
    I told you I can prove it. As if you didn't know this already.
    Rather typical GOP reaction. Blame somebody else on your watch.

    So no matter what brightbart says it's wrong? you know there is ways to find out if things are true or not right? it's kind of why our legacy Media is now the legacy Media and not the mainstream media.
