What would your opinion be of a Chinese spy plane operating off the eastern seaboard of the US?

The US isn't being aggressive on the eastern sea board.

I'd say the US opening 5 military bases in the south China Sea is as aggressive as anything China are doing.

I can only imagine the US reaction if China made an agreement with the Bahamas or Haiti or the Dominican Republic to open military bases there.

Shoot it down. No warnings.

Given his rhetoric about disengagement abroad, Trump would be more likely to cede the South China Sea to China than oppose them more forcibly.

You have not been listening to anything Trump has been saying and your statement above is just your opinion. The person you just described is Hilary and Obama's policy thus far. In case you didn't know, 50% of Trumps campaign is being tough on China.

True. No one holds a candle to US military aggression. That's the only interest it has in the region. It's own military and economic hegemony. It won't tolerate any behaviour from any other nation doing what it's done throughout the world if it challenges it's own strategic aims even when it's within those countries geographic spheres of influence. It doesn't matter that the US basically surrounds countries it perceives as challenging that dominance like it has done with Russia and is now doing with China. It still portrays those countries as the aggressors.

I'm on the fence here. Yep, I agree we'd be pissed off if the Chinese did this to us with their own spy plane.

On the other hand sometimes it seems like the entire world thinks America should police the entire friggin globe. Going strictly on that notion, don't we have more of a right to spy? That might sound silly, but again I'm talking about in the context of the world at times acting like it's up to us to take care of everything. I'm not suggesting China itself has this attitude.

Hell I remember a topic here that was about if America should police the world, and some people here said yes.

That seems more like an American notion than a "entire world" notion. Tbh, America's desire to police the world is really more frowned upon by people and countries around the world.

But on the other hand on this very website we had people saying this country should do just that. Which of course no we shouldn't because it's asinine to expect any one country to do that.

It might not be the entire world, but some countries seem to kind of act like that in a way. They just don't come out and outright say it.

I don't remember that thread. Was it Americans saying that or people from other parts of the world?

The U.S. has no right to police the world. Iraq is an excellent example of American interference gone wrong. ISIS is a much bigger threat than Saddam ever was to us. We had no business in that country.

Multiple people? I don't know where everyone is from.

So you can't feasibly take it as evidence that the whole world or even anyone outside the US wants the US to police the word, no?

I never said it was concrete, I just said it sometimes seems like people want us to police the world.

And thus if that were true..they'd have no real room to whine over spy planes.

No, but try and explain Obama's military aggression. Its interesting to see leftists do flips for china. Its becoming clearer why Trump is going to win, the China apologists are growing strong.

Sure, I guess people that want the US to unconditionally police the world including spying on sovereign governments can't really complain about them doing this. Not sure there's anyone on KMC that holds that view, but I guess it's good we covered it.
