CHINA

SPECIAL POST

This post is not about saucers and cups; it's about a very serious situation intensifying by leaps and bounds in Asia and in the South China Sea.  This impending issue is exacerbated by the total absence of a Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces of the United States, as well as the knowledge that the so-called CIC only has 15 more months left in office.  

Every nation in the world knows that now is the time to push things to the limit... and beyond.  Any president following Obama is surely going to be tougher to deal with than Obama.  

We all know what is going on in the Middle East and we are painfully aware of the fact the Russia is being more mischievous than at any time since the collapse of the Soviet Union.  Drug traffickers are running amok across our southern border and terrorists everywhere are really flexing their muscles.  And then, there's China.  

The nation has recently been made aware of the construction of man-made islands in the South China Sea by China, which has declared that it has sovereign rights over everything contained within the Sea.    They've warned the United States to stay out but, the infamous Barack has violated a basic rule of life by sending a U.S. warship into the area.  Anyone knows that if you are going to be a chicken, you should never stick your head out of the coop, or it might get lopped off.  

Just what in the hell do you think Obama would do if the Chinese decided to sink that warship... draw another red line?  Go play golf in Palm Springs?  Blame it on a video?  

While the tensions rise, China is building a formidable military regime.  They're adding troops and they're greatly upgrading their equipment.  They are in a crash program to advance their capabilities and they're set on surpassing the technological superiority of the U.S.  They're working on lasers, stealth drones, supersonic torpedoes, remotely-controlled tanks, attack submarines, submarine-hunting airplanes and space-launched weapons systems.  

And here we are, saddled with a petulant president who refuses to sign a military spending budget because the American citizens don't want him to close Gitmo.  

Don't you think it's time to start paying attention to what is really going on in the world?  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
