#1 Any chance we'll cross wakes with the French and Chinese navies while they're ~~posturing~~ holding exercises off of the coast of Taiwan?

#2 If we do cross them Seafarious, the French navy will sink themselves in a panic and the Chinese navy will fire ineffectively at us. I'm hoping more along the lines of NK boats being stupid though.

#3 These military moves are dangerous ones aimed to provoke the second Korean War

Second Korean War? I'm sorry, but the first one isn't really over, even now.

#4 Hmmm...

The Chinese & French, and now the US, are holding joint naval "exercises" off the Korean coast...

#5 Imagine the trailer to Jaws, but instead of a shark fin, it's a submarine's sail...or maybe nothing at all, just that creepy music, bwuhaha.

#6 I wonder if the French will have enough oars to showcase the Charles DeGaulle for the Chicoms?

#8 I wish they would rename that carrier. CDG was an impressive figure. Should rename it the Darlan.
