LOL - fucken brazen. I cannot wait to see the libs twist themselves into knots trying to get upset at this without giving up their game.
idk a lot of them probably wouldn't even realize they're giving the game away and just get openly mad at it
There's no cognitive dissonance with the libs. They'll say it's okay when they do it because they're "protecting freedom and democracy," but if China and Russia are doing it it's "authoritarian aggression."
Now, I also think it's good when our side does it and bad when the other does it, but I don't pretend to be impartial.
I don't think it's all the same. Remember that China did not have a blue ocean navy in the 1800s, hence the century of humiliation. This may in fact be the first of a kind event and a further extension as China fully stands up.
