US taunts China & neighbors with new warship sail-by

I am impressed that we actually are doing something like the older administrations did. Flying a B-52 or a Poseidon recon plane and with ships passing just outside the 12 mile limit need to continue. We should have a Rimpac like exercise there in the South China Sea with a Carrier battle group or MEF just doing a showboat tour to Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan and the Phillipines

Freedom of Navigation Exercises. Same thing we used to do with the Libyans in the Gulf of Sidra in the 80's.

CPO Tim Dickey If China wants to get inot a Cold War situation then bring it - we definitely have the experience and they need our buying power to stay financial solvent! I doubt they will call us on any debt that we owe them - they like to keep driving that up. They want to own us financially! Let's keep doing the "drive by" without shooting - good training! I liked the days when we flexed our muscle and other countries took notice! Chinas has been doing it for years now!
