- sillywalk 3y agoThe tit-for-tat, I figured as much. Also, ugh Heritage Foundation. Our ships are incapable of making implicit threats by their presence, and can only participate in innocent freedom of navigation exercises, and vice versa. It's the self-righteous hypocrisy that annoys me.
- moose_man 3y agoYou're changing the argument. I'm just pointing out China does the same thing, even worse, threatening a US President. As far as I'm aware the US Navy hasn't threatened the Chinese leadership. You said they didn't do anything to deserve it, I'm saying yes they did. They brought this on themselves.
