We should immediately open up McDonalds on them…and KFC and Church’s Chicken… then send over some psychologists and Pharma company reps. In no time they’ll be as savage as Philly and we can stop worrying about them.

Have Disney build resorts on them, and tell people it’s Hawaii. None of the guests will ever notice.

I’m fairly certain that we could beat China in about a month, maybe two. Book it, Danno.

Basically, things that the US empire claims it will destroy tend to be durable, and things that we claim to be rescuing tend to be devastated. I therefore propose, nay, DEMAND, that we “rescue” these endangered (man made) sand castle islands in a remote, non-Chinese corner of the south something sea. We should do everything possible (cough snortle chuckle) to rescue and preserve them for the benefit of (guffaw) their rightful owners. We can start with a benefit concert and ribbon campaign. I propose a blue and red ribbon.

Stucky,
Who have we beaten lately?
The last actual win I recall was Grenada, maybe Panama.

“what are we going to do about those islands?”
hopefully fucking nothing, since that is the proper course of action. Buuttt, considering its the USgov in general, and the obama regime in particular, think of the dumbest fucking thing imaginable, then realize that the actual course of action will likely be even more idiotic than that….

You had better hope that neither China or Russia fall to the west. The new world order is the goal of a one world government controlled by financiers.

Greetings,
How about we do nothing. If, say, Vietnam wants to use those waters then they can fight over it. Last time I checked, just 1/2 of Vietnam was able to fight first the French and chase them off and then the United States. Let those that have a claim fight it out.

They make most of the stuff we use and or need. They have most likely figured out a few things about military hardware that is kinda of awesome.

No direst military options since the Chinese have about 10X the power we have in that area.

Agreeing vehemently, Nothing.. In my humble but strong O, China woulld not even have to warm up its warships. All that would be necessary would be that they disclose the size of their gold hoard, upvalue it and invite the West to arbitrage, which they/we cannot do because the gold is gone. Then the Dollar is toast and chaos reigns here. As I say, my humble O, but not empty rhetoric. Do feel free, however, to label me a Gold Bug.

Who is the eFing idiot in our gov., that thinks we should travel to the other side of the planet, and pick a fight with China over some eFing sandbars in the South China Sea?
NOTHING is what we should do.
But like gator said “….considering its the US gov in general, and the obama regime in particular, think of the dumbest fucking thing imaginable, then realize that the actual course of action will likely be even more idiotic than that….”
