#1 What begins in the South China Sea per se between US Regional Allies + China, + by extension between the US + China, MAY NOT END IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA.

* See DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > CHINESE STATE MEDIA DEClARES THAT THE PLA SECOND ARTILLERY MAY LAUNCH STRIKES [LRBMS, Air-Sea TLCMS, Nuclear-tipped] AGZ [ANY] USN FLEET IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA.

As the SCS + even ECS is geographically too close to China's shores, methinks its more correct to argue CHINA IS TRYING NOT TO SAY IT MAY SSSHHH ... CCCCC INVADE THE NORTHERN PHILIPPINES TO PUT ITS ANTI-NAVAL/CARRIER MISSLE + AIR FORCES IN A BETTER FIRING POSITION INTO WESTPAC, FAR AWAY ASAP AMAP ALAP VEE CHINESE MANLAND, + MAY STRIKE AT GUAM, DIEGO GARCIA, + JAPAN MILBASES???

Keeping my fingers crossed vee Anti-US US OWG Globalist POTUS Obama defending America's Allies + Interests.

To entice Cold War + post-911 US Regional Allies towards China-led OWG Global federal Union(s), ONE WAY TO DO SO IS FOR OWG CO-SUPERPOWER AMERIKA TO PCOORECTLY-DENIABLY N-O-T LIVE UP TO ITS MUTUAL DEFENSE TREATY OBLIGATIONS, ETC. WID ITS ALLIES.

Beijing wants JAPAN either as a NOKOR-style Vassal State, or in altern NUKED rather than see Nippon be #1 in East Asia/Asia.

#2 Older or earlier related Net News ...

* DRUDGEREPORT > [Russia Today] JAPAN DISPLAYS NAVAL POWER AS US EXTENDS HOME FLEET'S [WEST COAST-based USN 3RD Fleet] OPERATIONS TO ENTIRE PACIFIC.

Iff China + PLAN had dev + deployed Arsenal/Fire Ships, + Subs, no need to invade Northern PH at all to threaten USN intervening forcves coming in from EASTPAC, IOR, andor WESTPAC???

* JAPAN TIMES > OPINION: GRAHAM WEBSTER: WHAT TWELVE NAUTICAL MILES REALLY MEANS.

Sorry. Mr. Webster, but IMO it does mean the Bammer has chosen to proudly surrender like France to OWG Co-SUperpower sibling CHina = Beijing, + PDeniably or nominally recognize China's claims of sovereignty to the SCS.

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > CHINA VOICE: US PROVOCATIONS THREATEN TO MILITARIZE SOUTH CHINA SEA - XINHUA.

* WORLD NEWS > [Guardian] IFF US RELATIONS WID CHINA TURN SOUR, THERE WILL PROBABLY BE WAR.
AMERICA NEEDS A STRATEGY TO HANDLE ITS SUPERPOWER RIVAL THAT CAN LAST 20 YEARS, INSTEAD WE HAVE "SOUNDBLASTS".

The Hell You Say!

Better late than never for the Brits to recognize the very real existential danger the US + EU have put themselves in.

Lucky iff Anti-US US POTUS Obama + OWG Globalists', etal. strategy lasts one or five years. let alone twenty + beyond.

UNILATERAL OR ASYMMETRIC US MILPOL OR GEOPOL RETREAT AROUND THE WORLD ARE NOT JUST PURDY GLOBIE WORDS, PA!

* FREEREPUBLIC > CHINA SAYS MILITARY [PLA] WILL USE FORCE IFF US SENDS WARSHIP(S) TO DISPUTED ISLANDS.

RELATED DRUDGEREPORT > [Guardian.UK] CHINESE MEDIA: MILITARY MUST BE READY TO USE FORCE TO COUNTER US IN SOUTH CHINA SEA.
> [WAFF.com] US TO CHINA: "WE WILL PATROL WEST PH SEA [SCS], + YOU CAN'T STOP US"!
> [World News] US CAN SAIL BY SPRATLYS WHENEVER WE WANT [in accordance wid Int'l Law = UNCLOS], [USDOD Chief Ashton] CARTER SAYS/WARNS IN REBUFF TO BEIJING OVER SCS.

Guam's THAAD Battery + tiny Camel Rock may NOT be enough agz PLAAF H-6K ALCM-capable strategic bombers, PLAN Missle Subs-Commandos, + PLA 2ND Artillery. AT LEAST WE HAVE ONE THAAD, THE CNMI + PALAU/BELAU HAVE NONE.

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > CHINA PUSHES NEW AIRSHIP INTO "NEAR-SPACE".

"Offensive" PLA Airship vs "Defensive" US ABM-BMD Airship over Guam-WESTPAC???

But I digress ...
