  1. At the very least you expanded on your remark. Most here shoot from the hip on a single sentence. And kudos for you for breaking into readable paragraphs. We have some rant bugs here who are off the charts.

  2.  @donkeysaurusrex7881 well… he borrowed Trump’s policies on trade. So “Chinese Masters “:are a bit of a stretch. And most of his bankroll from his Senatorial tenure were banks and credit card issuers. All from Delaware.

  3. Those South China islands are the equivalent guerilla warfare. People tend to forget , that is how Japan gave us hell before surrendering on WWII. They only surrendered after we dropped the bomb in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The US Matines had multiple battlefronts to reckon with in the Japanese controlled Pacific Islands. The Chinese might not have a Navy as mightier than the US , but they still can be some persky customer . And they are building their Navy up. I would not be as dismissive to their abilities until met in the battlefront.

  4. They already do. A late client of mine, while on contract in Angola told me , every time a Chinese oil tanker came in to be filled up, it was escorted by two Chinese frigates. In and out.

  5. Well then …. 1. We need numbers to validate yiur claims. 2. Everything sailing on seven seas is chartered by the Navy. I do not see infantryman meaning the deck. There are not army colonels , or sargents , or generals meaning those ships for sure.

  6. The Philippine Navy has not been sucessful at keeping the Chinese fishing trawlers poaching Philippine’s waters lately. In fact Philippino fisherman can’t even fish their waters, being bullied over by the Chinese Navy vessels.

  7. He being a Senator from sleepy Delaware , well a few things he might’ve committed to memory.

  8. He is probably looking into right now. Most likely picking quotable sources and going through cables. At least he edits what he puts out there , based on what he gathers. He walks talking as if he was shooting from the hip, but in actuality he does some homework.

  9. None of his predecessors were , by the way. Short of Teddy Roosevelt FDR, Kennedy , and Jimmy Carter. The first two got away with murder. Kennedy got assassinated. And Jimmy got sandbagged.

  10. Not CIA. NATO. CIA still the bogeyman. Tolerated but loathed. No one likes company men meddling with their local politics , sniffing at their State Secrets .
