South China Sea Dispute

LMAO. Now I 've heard it all. You should do some research before u say something so silly like that. The United States is the only true Superpower in the entire world if we use the true definition of what a "superpower" is and it's military is more powerful than China's and Russia's combined. "Can't hold a candle" ,my ass. If anything, it's actually the other way around. Only thing that would stop the U.S. from kicking China's ass all over the place is the fact that they have plenty of nukes and the fact that we owe them so much money.

EDIT:
I see AncientPower cleared that up.

You got one thing right that I'm American.

So China released a military review that basically says there is no South China Sea dispute and according to reports Vietnam got very close to sending out whatever that thing is they call a navy.

In other news not only has China controlled the Spratley islands but is constructing large military installations and airfields in their reclamation of the territories.

The United States has stated they will heavily increase their presence there.

Japan meanwhile is getting major calls in the JSDF to deploy supporting forces in the region due to how badly effected trade is because of this amd of course they now have the legal capacity to do so under the revisements Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has brought about very recently.

Looks like the world is about to get it's most dangerous melting pot yet.

@asbestos: Like I said already, I apologize. It was my stupid mistake. Please just disregard that post you quoted of mine. Don't want another thread to start going off-topic. Again, I'm sorry.

China has placed massive artillery pieces on one of the spratley islands, confirming beliefs that China lied about civilian use and is turning this place into it's own version of Cuba.

United States, European Union, and Japan have a sharply criticized these rrclamations.

Japan is increasing it's defense pacts with the Philippines and will launch air patrols over the area, United States is going to.increase it's activities doing the same.

Manila confirms that it is going through a strong build-up of it's military 'to protect what is our's'.

This doesn't seem to be going well.

The East and South China Seas are moving inexorably towards armed conflict at this rate. Japan is already fortifying the Ryukyu island chain. The only way this ends is when China realises it's navy is vastly inferior to those of Japan and more so the U.S.

We really need another world war, to many mouth breathers.

The next world war will only end with self-extinction.
