Neither is ANOTHER war(Over This)!  

 

But China is more likely to be aggressive against the Philippines/Japan if the US doesn't support them bc they ofc don't want war with the US themselves

How much more evidence do we need on him for his supporters to notice that he's unfit for the Oval Office?

WWIII is coming  It was nice knowing all of you  

[LUO YI 6,089]

He's going to make the next war happen so easy

[HANZ 4,380]

um.......he is right tho

China is trying to cause some trouble by invading international waters, they are basically trying to conquer all asian waters and neighbours

Electoral College, are you listening?

@En_Sabah_Nur sorry if it came as brash, here's the deal:

The South China Sea is a highly contested body of water that China claims 90% to--even including waters very close to the coasts of other nations. This is against the UNCLOS--United Nations Conventions on the Laws of the Seas and many smaller nations are threatened by this military build up of China.

1/3 of the world's trade passes through here, and China intends to use the body of water as its own not unlike the Roman Empire calling the Mediterranean Sea a "roman lake". China claiming this based on history is like, again, modern-day Italy claiming the extent of the Roman Empire at its peak as part of its territory. And China doesn't even have actual historical claims to it, because they followed suzerainty, not sovereignty in the past. They also always listed Hainan as their southernmost territory--nowhere past the South China Sea. They also never detailed the extent of their modern claims.

Earlier this year, the Philippines won a legal claim against China but it fell on deaf ears despite China being a signatory nation to UNCLOS. Japan and the Philippines are US allies, so, any military move by China might drag the US in the area.

The problem here isn't the legitimacy of the issues Trump raised. The problem is that our President Elect is handling delicate international relations with the same tact in which he he handles his feuds with Saturday Night Live and Hamilton.

We elected Azealia Banks, and it's a little terrifying.

I know, but he was asking specifically about why Trump said that about the South China Sea

They're building islands in International waters. That's a pretty big deal, and it's obvious aggression.

Twitter rants are not the proper channel for international diplomacy. Trump is a menace to America's ability to conduct foreign policy. This is how wars start.
