#1 Again, China is unlikely to stop its various island relamationn activities as long as the US stays outside the 12-mile NM limit - the PH, Vietnam. + other smaller nations of SE Asia can all but say goodbye to any hopes for territory + 200-mile EEZ in the SCS. Once China 's reclamations are complete + militarized, China's position in the SCS will be unassailable save via "GREAT POWER" CONFRONTATION + ULTIMATELY MAJOR WAR, ESPEC MAJOR NUCWAR.

The US Govt-DOD should consider Year 2020 NLT 2025 as the rough or benchhmark timeline for OWG CO-Superpower China to recover Taiwan, either peacefully/di-loamtically or by military force, + attain desired "strategic access" for the PLA vee its so-called "First Island Chain" into WESTPAC + OTHER PACOAS. EVEN IFF CHINA PROCURES PART OR NONE OF ITS GOALS BY 2020-2015, ITS GOVT-LED OFFICIAL FOREIGN OR MILPOL POLICIES WILL BE GEARED OR ORIENTED TOWARD THESE SAME AGZ THE US, + GETTING THE US OUT OF EAST ASIA-WESTPAC = 1/2 OF THE PACIFIC, + CONTAINED IN HAWAII-EASTPAC + US WEST COAST.

CHINA WANTS ACCESS "INTO' WESTPAC + FAR PACIFIC AS BEFITTING A "MAHANIST", "US-STYLE", "US-PAR" OWG CO-SUPERPOWER, N-O-T JUST TO REACH THE BORDER OR PERIPHERY OF THE "FIRST ISLAND CHAIN" IN EAST ASIA [SCS + ECS] BUT NO GO BEYOND.

IFF CHINA'S "CO-SUPERPOWER" SIBLING AMERIKA CAN HAVE "SPHERE(S) OF INFLEUNCE", SO CAN CHINA - DITTO AS PER PUTIN-LED RUSSIA + ISLAMIST IRAN, ETC.

Whats happening in the SCS is only the beginning.

As a reminder ...

* TWITTER, BHARAT RAKSHAK > CHINA IS BEING THE KIND OF GREAT POWER OR SUPERPOWER THAT FEELS THAT IT IS ENTITLED TO TO CONTROL THE LAND, SEA, AND AIR [Space?] AROUNDS ITS TERRITORY.

* BHARAT RAKSHAK > US NAVAL PATROL SIGNALS CONTEST WID CHINA FOR CONTROL OF THE STRAIT OF MALAACAS - THE HINDU.

* WORLD NEWS > [SCMP] CHINA HAS SHEER EDGE OVER THE US NAVY THROUGH SHEER WEIGHT OF NUMBERS IN SOUTH CHINA SEA [Local-Regional Superiority], SAY ANALYSTS.

* SAME > [Press TV] US RPESIDENT OBAMA MUST BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE TO REPVENT TO AVOID WAR WID BOTH RUSSIA AND CHINA [in near future]: JOURNALIST [Mike Billing of Executive-Review Intel].

* WASHINGTON FREE BEACON > FORMER DEFENSE OFFICIALS: US NAVY IS "STRAINED".

STARTING IN 2016, WHILE MIGHTY "RED LINE DEFENDER" ANTI-US US GLOBALIST POTUS OBAMA IS STILL POTUS, the USN may NOT have enough CVNS or Warships, etc. to support missions in a number of major or important overseas theaters.

Perhaps the most telling of the danger US East Asia Allies + GUAM-WESTPAC are in vee Obama + Anti-US OWG Globies ....

* WORLD NEWS > [Press TV] WHITE HOUSE TRIED [repeatedly] TO STALL PENTAGON MISSION IN SOUTH CHINA SEA: REPORT.

RELATED JAPAN TIMES > "ITS ABOUT TIME": US NAVY FORAY INTO CHINA-CLAIMED WATERS REPORTEDLY FOLLOWED [repeated] FOOT-DRAGGING BY THE WHITE HOUSE [incl. by US SecState Kerry].

USS "Lassen" foray into SCS could poten had taken place as early as May of this year 2015.
