And what did Trump do about it ????
A review of your comments demonstrates that this is not the first time you have derailed a thread to bash the man.
Your hatefulness is an example of why he got elected in the first place, and if the haters continue to show their hate so clearly, he will get elected again.

Ever since the US left The Philippines, China has pushed that they own that area west of the islands by building islands out of reefs (destroying marine life in the process) and militarizing them. As long as the US military forces were there, they did not push the issue and the Spratley's, that are still claimed by 7 countries, were left alone. Now, we have been pushed to just freedom of navigation cruises to ensure that any and all traffic can transit the area, but the Chinese are pushing back. Will it lead to a shooting war? Hard to say, but one day, someone with an itchy trigger finger is gonna push a button that launches something at someone else who is thought to be tresspassing.
An act of war is now merely unsafe and unprofessional? Where did all the backbones go?
Yeah the world's provocateur is fired upon. Our prestige has been replaced by the "never ending war on terror". Fu@%ing pathetic state of affairs, we're in.
