Meanwhile in China...
China deploys air force on disputed South China Sea island
China is moving quickly to deploy military forces and build bases -- including airstrips -- on various islands in international waters. Essentially, they're claiming bully squatting rights because there's no one in the hemisphere with the means to directly oppose them.
When they tried this sort of thing in the past, a strong U.S. Navy has combined with competent leadership in the White House to waggle a finger and stare them down. We now have neither of those things, so the ChiComs are taking advantage to expand their empire -- which is not imperialism, you understand. No, sir. It just looks, walks and quacks like an imperial duck.
