re: #427 Decatur Deb
No, they really don’t.
They’re doing it to turn the entire SCS, outside Vietnam’s and the Philippines’ 20-mile limit, into Chinese internal waters.
And that’s even more asinine than Canada trying the same thing with the Northwest passage.
There really are no good guys between the Confederate States of America, the Red Chinese, and Putinist Russia.
Just the EU and parts of the non-American Anglosphere, and the RoCalifornia if it’s let escape the CSA.
