You make a very weak argument that Obama’s administration was soft on China. Your only point is strategy in the South China Sea and unless you’re privy to US Navy posturing and what our coordination with Japanese naval forces was at that time, you can’t definitively say that it is any different now.
- redis_mlc 6y ago> You make a very weak argument that Obama’s administration was soft on China. This is common knowledge. Look up "Scarborough Shoal", and Obama's inaction which resulted in China's takeover of the 9-dash line area. The result of Obama's lack of deterrence is that the entire Asian region is arming for war now, which was entirely avoidable by sending a US carrier group there in a timely manner and just sailing in a circle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarborough_Shoal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarborough_Shoal As an aside, HN is around 3 months behind on news about China. You can get updated by watching some Youtube videos from the NTD family of channels. Virtually everything posted on HN is simply nonsense this quarter.
