China is flexing its muscle in its seas. How long before the U.S. flexes back? If China is going to use the possible dumping of U.S. investments as leverage should we force her hand? We need to keep in mind though that the U.S. military budget dwarfs that of China's.

Test and counter test. But the Chinese don't want a war, they just want to prove that they are more than bankers with guns.

US vs China - conventional war is not realistic
Will China be the next nuke recipicant?

Didn't the Israeli's fire on the USS Liberty spy ship during the 6 day war in 1968 killing 34 men? No apology ever given. Didn't North Korea attack the USS Pueblo with migs & naval vessels killing 1 man and injuring several others in January 1968? I look for the same kind of response from China before this over--one of our spy ships will either be hi-jacked or damaged by gun fire. Why would China do anything different than has already been done to our spy ships by other countries?

Oh, yes, and another clip today, N. Korea threatens war if U.S. shoots down its satellite--so look for this spy ship harassment to escalate.

Or maybe Biden is more foreseeing than we thought? It will be China that tests Obama in the first 6 months!
