It's On: Obama Sends Destroyer To Chinese Islands, China Vows Military Response

For anyone who might still be somehow unaware, the US is currently in a superpower staring match with both Russia and China. The conflict in Syria has put Moscow back on the geopolitical map (so to speak), creating an enormous amount of tension with Washington whose regional allies have been left to look on in horror as Russian airstrikes and an Iranian ground incursion dash hopes of ousting President Bashar al-Assad.
Meanwhile, in The South China Sea, Beijing has built 3,000 acres of new sovereign territory atop reefs in the Spratlys and although the reclamation effort itself isn’t unique, the scope of it most certainly is and Washington’s friends in the South Pacific are crying foul.
Beijing has continually insisted that it doesn’t intend to use the islands as military outposts, but the construction of runways and ports seems to tell a different story and so, Washington felt compelled to check things out over the summer by sending a Poseidon spy plane complete with a CNN crew to the area. Once the PLA spotted the plane the situation escalated quickly with the Chinese Navy telling US pilots to “Go Now!”
After that, an intense war of words developed with Defense Secretary Ash Carter insisting that the US would sail and fly anywhere it pleased and Beijing assuring the US that sailing within 12 nautical miles of the islands would prompt a harsh response from the PLA.
For weeks, the US was rumored to have been planning a freedom of navigation exercise in the Spratlys which, as we’ve pointed out several times this month, amounts to sailing by the islands just to see if China will shoot.
Now, according to CNN, Obama has given the green light and the ships may sail within 24 hours:
And more from FT:
It's also worth noting that should the US manage to get away with this without sparking a shooting war with the Chinese, it now looks as though Washington is leaning toward making this a regular patrol. Here's a bit of color from Reuters out over the weekend:The US navy is poised to start freedom of navigation operations in the South China Sea in a high-stakes effort to push back against Chinese territorial claims over artificial islands in the disputed waters.
In a move that will enrage Beijing, the USS Lassen, a guided-missile destroyer, will sail inside the 12-nautical mile zones of two man-made islands — Subi and Mischief reefs — that China has built in the contested Spratly Island chain. A senior US defence official said it would sail through the area in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
China has repeatedly warned that it would not tolerate any effort to violate what it considers its territory. Earlier this month, a senior Chinese naval officer said the People’s Liberation Army would hand a “head-on blow” to any foreign forces that violated Chinese sovereignty. His comments came after the Financial Times reported that the US was poised to launch its operations.
The manoeuvre will mark the first time since 2012 that the US navy has sailed through the 12-nautical mile zone surrounding any islands claimed by China. It is aimed at demonstrating that Washington does not recognise any territorial claims over artificial islands in the South China Sea.
A range of security experts said Washington's so-called freedom of navigation patrols would have to be regular to be effective, given Chinese ambitions to project power deep into maritime Southeast Asia and beyond.
"This cannot be a one-off," said Ian Storey, a South China Sea expert at Singapore's Institute of Southeast Asian Studies.
"The U.S. navy will have to conduct these kinds of patrols on a regular basis to reinforce their message."
But China would likely resist attempts to make such U.S. actions routine, some said, raising the political and military stakes. China's navy could for example try to block or attempt to surround U.S. vessels, they said, risking an escalation.

Here are the latest visuals from Subi and Mischief (the two islands mentioned above):
Not to put too fine a point on it, but this borders on the insane. Here we have both Washington and Beijing risking an outright military confrontation over what amount to a couple of sandcastles and while there's probably some truth to the contention that China has plans for the islands that go beyond growing plants, building lighthouses, and raising pigs, it's not as though the PLA is going to invade The Philippines so at the end of the day, this looks like another example of what Vladimir Putin recently suggested is evidence that the world is losing its collective mind.
THE ABOVE ARTICLE BY ZERO HEDGE CLEARLY SHOWS HOW FAST THE WORLD IS RACING TOWARDS WW3! IN THE MIDDLE EAST THE U.S. SUPPORT ISIS REBELS ARE GETTING THEIR BUTTS KICKED AND NOW TO PROJECT POWER ELSE WHERE IN THE WORLD, TO PROVE THE U.S. IS NOT IRRELEVANT JUST YET, THEY ARE GETTING READY TO PROVOKE CHINA.
MY GUESS IS THAT CHINA WILL NOT ALLOW THIS, AS THEY TOO DO NOT WANT TO LOSE FACE TO A FADING WORLD POWER, SO THEY WILL TAKE A PAGE OUT OF RUSSIA'S PLAY BOOK AND WILL INTERVENE IN A MOST SURPRISING WAY THAT NOT EVEN THE U.S. WILL SUSPECT!
UPDATE...ECONOMIST COVER SIGNALLING NOV. 3RD AND 5TH FALSE FLAG DATES???
WITH OBAMA SENDING A U.S. DESTROYER WARSHIP NEAR THESE CHINESE CLAIMED ISLANDS AND RUSSIA TAKING OVER THE MIDDLE EAST FASTER THAT YOU CAN SAY
"DA" IT SEEMS LIKE PERHAPS THE ECONOMIST COVER, WITH ITS MANY STRANGE IMAGES AND SYMBOLS, SEEMS LIKE IT MIGHT BE POINTING TO POSSIBLE FALSE FLAG DATES.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE LITTLE GIRL, OR ALICE FROM ALICE IN WONDERLAND, IS STANDING AT THE BOTTOM AND NEAR HER ARE TWO ARROWS STUCK HEAD FIRST WITH THE DATES 11.5 AND 11.3.
WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THAT JUST TODAY JACK LEW, TREASURY SECRETARY, MADE REFERENCE TO THESE TWO DATES!!!
http://www.politico.com/story/2015/10/jack-lew-debt-limit-deadline-nov-3-214823
THIS IS WHEN SUPPOSEDLY THE U.S. AGAIN RUNS INTO THE DEBT LIMIT.
THERE IS TOO MUCH HAPPENING RIGHT NOW ALL OVER THE WORLD AND THE U.S. AND ITS BANKER FAMILIES OWNERS NEED SOME DISTRACTION TO FURTHER PROMOTE THEIR NWO AGENDA.
THE PAST 7 DAYS I HAVE HAD 2 VERY PROPHETIC DREAMS BUT FOR FEAR OF WHAT THE POWERS THAT BE THAT MOST LIKELY VIEW AND SCAN ONLINE COMMENTS, I WILL NOT POST WHAT THE DREAMS SHOWED ME.
LET'S JUST SAY THAT THEY WERE FRIGHTENING AND THE SHOWED WHAT COULD MOST LIKELY BE SEEN AS A MAJOR FALSE FLAG!

China The King Of The East In Bible Prophecy? China and Allies Will Destroy 1/3 of Mankind
ReplyDeleteA "200,000,000 man army" will one day rise and unleash their deadly weapons of mass destruction killing one-third of the world's population . . .It appears from Bible prophecy that China’s power and "sphere of influence" over surrounding nations and armies will continue to grow. "The kings from the East" ... the Bible warns a massive "200,000,000 man army" will be formed and will rise. We are told China will unleash its deadly weapons of mass destruction.
We are told China and its allies will quickly kill one-third of the world's population.
China along with its allies and their vast armies will one day cross the Euphrates as they march across the Middle-East towards Israel ... and into the Battle of Armageddon.
The war is about to begin Mary Anne.
ReplyDeleteElijah I finally got a google account so that I can comment on your blog. I've been following you for a long time now. I am a strong conservative and traditional Catholic. Also, I have studied the "true" message of Fatima for years. Just a few comments on these 2 arrows above. The dates 11/5 and 11/3 have past with no event. The thought crossed my mind 11/11/15 (5 x 3 = 15). Further, the 11/5 arrow is broken in the reflection. Broken arrows have been used literally to mean nuclear event.
ReplyDeleteHello Bill, I'm glad to hear that you have been following this blog and that you're a strong, conservative Catholic. Yes, those dates have passed and you have an interesting point about the 5x3 idea. I haven't been posting too many posts lately as I have been trying to finish my 7th book.
ReplyDeleteBut I will look into these dates and any false flag possibilities. Thank you again for your post and I look forward to seeing your comments in the future.
God bless.
