US warns of capacity
to 'blow apart' China's artificial islands

Remember, China's
artificial islands are in disputed waters!
This is going to
shock many of my long time followers coming from a Spiritual Teacher (howbeit
retired).
It is about time
this country either
(fish or cut bait)!
We have been
allowing this ‘Communist county' to push other countries around, the USA
included, for far too long.
However, we also
need to ask those countries affected from the artificial islands to join in at
ending this threat from China?
Countries like
Russia, Japan, North and South Korea.
China does not have
land at the Sea of Japan!
Fake Islands do not
count in war!
Following Beijing's
deployment of new weapons to its outposts in the South China Sea, a Pentagon
official warned that Washington has the capacity to take down these man-made
islands.
Lt. Gen. Kenneth
McKenzie Jr., US Department of Defense joint staff director, said that the US
has experience in taking down small isolated islands during World War II.

"I would just
tell you that the United States military has had a lot of experience in the
Western Pacific, taking down small islands," MacKenzie said in a press
briefing Thursday.
MacKenzie, however,
clarified that he was not trying to send a message to China but only stating a
fact.
"That's a core
competency of the US military that we've done before. You shouldn't read
anything more into that than a simple statement of historical fact," he
said.
the Sea of Japan is
bounded by the Russian mainland and Sakhalin island to the north,
the Korean Peninsula
to the west, and the Japanese
islands of Hokkaidō, Honshū and Kyūshū to the east
and south. It is connected to other seas by five straits: the Strait of Tartary
between the Asian mainland and
Sakhalin; La
Pérouse Strait between the Sakhalin and Hokkaidō; the Tsugaru Strait between
Hokkaidō and Honshū; the Kanmon
Straits between Honshū and Kyūshū; and the Korea Strait between the Korean Peninsula and
Kyūshū.
