  1. @Daniel Sas Oooooo don't tell them that in Pago Pago. They are quite proud of their deep harbor. American Samoa is a location, distinct from the Samoan Islands. Held in trusteeship as a result of the German Empire's surrender in 1918.

  2. Well Geography, you have American Samoa. Which is by shipping lanes the U.S. patrols. But I bet you knew that, right? Right?

  3.  @davidtaylor351  Their website is American Samoa. It is an unincorporated territory under the trust of the U.S. Department Of The Interior. American Samoa pretty much runs itself. I included American Samoans with other islands the U.S. got with the German surrender. American Samoa was brought in another deal where The United States and Germany had a massive naval engagement where the German ships were sunk and it was a tremendous victory for the U.S. Navy. Now the only threat the island face is occasional visits from mainland politicians.

  4.  @davidtaylor351  The Typhon was the glorious battle. Actually, sort of embarrassing. Actually pretty embarrassing. Two major navies took a beating without firing a shot. You have to fluff it up.

  5. Sure, ask Taiwan and Japan about peaceful China. Or even Vietnam.

  7.  @FirstLast-zk5ow  Because until China came in, refueling was not a problem? Could that be it?

  8.  @FirstLast-zk5ow  The Chinese are not out to get everyone. They like North Korea. I'll make it simple, you cannot trust Communists. Just read their history.

  9. @Daniel Sas China hasn't been a victim since 1945. They have become more like victimizers.

  11. Actually the U.S. signed a pact with the Solomon Islands that extends the friendship and the U.S. will continue to aid the Solomon Islands in their development just a few months ago. The Solomon Islands seemed pleased with their announcement of the pact.

  13.  @joebidet2050  Yes and? The United States along with other countries patrols that part of the Pacific Ocean for illegal activities, usually in co-operation with the small island nations that are in the area such as the Solomon Islands. It is not secret, the U.S. Coast Guard will publish notices on the operation from time to time.
