This is going to continue to escalate until someone gets blasted with a firearm or is killed in some other manner. link |

Yes, and then someone will need to get revenge for their master! |

Yep, sooner or later someone will start shooting. Followed by many more shots, fired repeated … There will be losses … |

Yep. When a nation's forces ignore international law and escalate their anal orifice activities there is going to be something scary happen. |

Looks like a bar parking lot disturbance. I agree, somebody's weapon will go off at some point. Interesting that the Chinese Coast Guard carries knives and machetes. One guy had an axe. There are trained for inflatables… |

Long term strategy for this region has been wrong. IMHO. Force the issue. Shoot up the other side. Delaying the conflict, just allows the aggressor to get stronger. Confront him now when he will be weaker than in the future. |

You don't back down from a bully. China is a bully, a freak'n big bully but one none the less. |

The land of China is 20% of the world population … They can do a lot of bullying, and many other things. The USA's and China's economies are very closely tied. Don't think either side wants to upset that too much … Only Nixon can go to China. |

Perhaps we should force the Philippines to concede to all of China's demands since China has a nuclear arsenal? To save lives and such… |

@Prince Alberts Revenge Yeah, that worked so well in Czechoslovakia. Peace in our time of course. |
