False equivalence. China defending its own claimed EEZ, 200 miles off the coast of the Chinese mainland, is not the same as the US menacing countries 6,000 miles from the American mainland.

The Chinese government thinks they can win by employing bullying tactics to our countries though, so I don't see the false equivalence, except for the distance.

Claimed EEZ in accordance to UNCLOS (to which the PROC is a signatory), or simply by their own "irrefutable historic evidence"?

If the Chinese are serious about standing up to American aggression, they should sign a full military alliance with Russia, with a mutual defense commitment at least as strong as that between the NATO countries. Preferably including Syria, Iran and Iraq as members. The fascist neocons who rule the US will not stop pushing unless they are confronted by the credible threat of force, the only language they understand.

The neocons are fond of drawing parallels to the Munich conference of 1938, and denouncing "appeasement," while their opponents (ie. the few remaining voices of reason in the US) typically deny the validity of the analogy. But in fact, the world really does face a situation reminiscent of 1938 - if you realize that the USA is playing the role of Nazi Germany then the analogy works quite well. The USA is the aggressive superpower bent on world domination. The USA is the country gripped by insane, fanatical militarism. The USA is the country whose "diplomacy" consists of a machine-gun-like staccato of strident threats and ultimatums.

A determined, well-organized coalition to contain American aggression is desperately needed.

They're working on it, as you may know. They just need to gather a few more pieces of the puzzle before fully committing to mutual defense.

The clock is ticking and the genie is out of the bottle. If WW3 doesn't happen within the next 15 years, WW3 will be economical, not physical.

Then why is China flexing its muscles in international waters or over Taiw- I mean, uh, China?

Sure, just recognize Taiwanese independence and the claims of all other sovereign nations around you. Otherwise, I'm going to be over here playing with my tridents.

Well yeah, that's the progressive strategy. Divide foreign countries through war and then absorb the migrants.

Obama is an Islamist piece of shit who cares more about dickwaving at the Chinese than stopping the murder of Americans by Islamists.
