This is different. Last month post was a will do thing. This month is doing.

After all tought talk from China, the more U.S. pushing, China fall into defense stance. First Chinese said, dont you dare enter near our island, then U.S sail near their islands, Chinese said, dont you dare enter our 12 nm, U.S. enter 12 nm, the Chinese said, dont you dare to enter 2 nm, when U.S enter 2nm, the Chinese will says, Ok you go, U.S. Stays, the Chinese says, ok that is fine as long as you dont touch us.

If U.S. Ship = poor Vietnamese fishermen ship, the Chinese will sink it. That is Chinese, yeh that is right.

Sir,refer to the U-2 and SR-71 spy plane were shoot down in 50+ years ago

Well, I didn't want to reply yet, we should wait 20 hours and see what become of it. For your sake, this one better be different from the last time US "challenged" Chinese ADZ,

Which consists of a B52 flying all the way to the edge of Chinese ADZ, poked it and then turned tail. Reminds me of children's prank of ringing someone's doorbell and then run when the owner comes out.

More of an elementary school child's come back, except with high tech equipment costing a lot of money.

So if the US does it, it is childish. But China does it, then it is bold.

Got it...

Refer to the USNS Impeccable. We will watch the show.

No SR-71 was lost to hostile fire. 12 crashed killing one pilot.

During its service life, no SR-71 was shot down.

Yes, good job harassing an unarmed ship.

Following the incident USS Chung-Hoon was assigned to protect USNS Impeccable. Not exactly a desirable outcome for China. Going from unarmed to defended by a Flight IIA Arleigh Burke class destroyer. USNS Impeccable continued with its mission, tracking Chinese submarines, unabated and without further incident.

We'll probably get videos. It looks like they'll spend several hours near those islands.

US Navy destroyer Lassen nears Spratly islands, China territory challenged

 

[Economic superpower]

China will continue to build on the islands and militarise them.

US is utterly powerless and helpless to stop that from happening.

China will build more coast guard ships and naval ships and deploy them to patrol the SCS to make sure China has ABSOLUTE control of the SCS.

US patrols won't make a difference to China's long term plans of militarising the islands. Unless the US can stop the construction by China, China is winning this game BIG TIME!

More and more countries are no longer afraid to challenge American power. Everyone sees the rapid and terminal decline of America and their aura of invincibility is being shredded to pieces.

What you're seeing is the beginning of the end of the American empire and its desperate attempts to save face as China (AIIB, ADIZ, cyber, RMB in SDR, etc), Russia (Crimea, Syria, etc), Iran and others lose respect for the US and ignore the US and just do whatever they want.

American decline is what the British went through in the early 20th century. The British found its empire weakening internally and others started to challenge and change the status quo as its ability to stop others was weakening with each passing year. America is going through the same phase.

It's all over for the American empire. All it can do is manage its decline.

I'm not even worried.

If war didn't start after these two incidents below, why would it start now?

Third Taiwan Strait Crisis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hainan Island incident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The US will sail within 12 nautical miles.
China will issue some warnings.
Absolutely nothing will happen.
Everyone will forget about it in a few weeks.
Island construction continues.
The US will have wasted their time as usual.

It is going to be U-2 all over again. We all know the outcome.

LOL another clown emerges

the whole point of these islands is to expand territorial waters of China , if US ignores them then what has been done is an utter waste. as to militarizing islands , think with your tiny a little bit and try to figure out how easy of a target a militarized island will be for ships operating far away.

decline of American empire? America is having a good time right now , growing faster compared to the whole last decade+.

If US hasn't "collapsed" a decade ago , what makes you think it will now

Ukraine was never in NATO , so US was never obliged to protect Crimea , only delusional morons bring that up to point towards "American Decline"

Syria , what has US lost in Syria exactly? they still conduct their operations in Syria and Iraq , additional 12 A-10s were sent to Turkey for missions in Iraq and Syria.

all this is while US has a pacifist president in power.

WASHINGTON—A U.S. Navy destroyer sailed within 12 nautical miles of artificial islands claimed by China, in a direct challenge to Beijing that raises the stakes in an expanding, multination territorial dispute.

An American defense official confirmed Monday that the U.S. Navy ship navigated through the waters around at least one of the land masses to which China lays claim within the Spratly chain of islands in the South China Sea, crossing an area that China maintains is part of its sovereign territory.

International convention allows countries to claim territorial waters within 12 nautical miles of their coastal territory, but the U.S. and many other countries don’t recognize China’s claims to almost all of the South China Sea. Thus U.S. officials labeled Monday’s operation a “freedom of navigation” exercise.

Several U.S. defense officials said the navigation through the islands wasn’t a one-time operation, and that the U.S. Navy would continue to sail through waters claimed by Beijing.
