China defends buzzing American warship in Taiwan Strait

"China’s defense minister defended sailing a warship across the path of an American destroyer and Canadian frigate transiting the Taiwan Strait, telling a gathering of some of the world’s top defense officials in Singapore on Sunday that such so-called “freedom of navigation” patrols are a provocation to China."

(Look the fuck out. Students of history know this is how these things always start off.)

"Those and previous incidents have raised concerns of a possible accident occurring that could lead to an escalation between the two nations at a time when tensions are already high."

(The bucket gonna go to the well 

one to many times here before much longer.)

"Li suggested the U.S. and its allies had created the danger, and should instead should focus on taking 

“good care of your own territorial airspace and waters.”

China tested new df-27 hypersonic ICBM that can penetrate mainland US defense systems - leaked info. 

(Yeah...air national guard reservist leaked that...right.)

“The best way is for the countries, especially the naval vessels and fighter jets of countries, not to do closing actions around other countries’ territories,” he said through an interpreter. “What’s the point of going there? In China we always say, ‘Mind your own business.’”

(We are being told "go fuck off, or you're gonna get hit...hard.)

"The U.S. has noted that since 2021 — well before Li became defense minister — China has declined or failed to respond to more than a dozen requests from the U.S. Defense Department to talk with senior leaders, as well as multiple requests for standing dialogues and working-level engagements."

(When you know you have the upper hand?

Whats to talk about?)

"He said that he recognized that any “severe conflict or confrontation between China and the U.S. will be an unbearable disaster for the world,” and that the two countries need to find ways to improve relations, saying they were “at a record low.”"

It was his first speech as Chinas Defense minister.

He told us to fuck off and get our stuff and get out of their interest.

I wouldn't be expecting any improvements any time soon...

God speed everybody.

Journey well.
