Kek. Glad I'm not on it anymore.

This is it gentlemen. We're becoming the Russians.

What an embarrassment

>>32851670
We seem to have a talent for fucking up the Japanese.

That China can have their sea for fucks sake.

What are we even still doing there? The one being most unpredictable and unreasonable has been the US all along.

We should actually send out navy back to contain ourselves from doing too much stupid shit.

>“In my view it is too late to stop the China program in the South China Sea,” said Sir Angus. “What is important now is to ensure freedom of navigation and the right of innocent passage.
>“We also need to find ways to resolve territorial disputes in accordance with international law and discourage nations from acting unilaterally in a way that threatens the peace and stability in our region. From here a prudent approach is necessary.”
>He urged the US to seek greater engagement with China through strategic partnerships.
>“The US needs to engage with and make space for China,” he said. “In my view we need more co-operation and less competition.”

Maybe they should've bought Chinese.

If you guys are having problems with running into things underwater the solution is simple - have the ship above the water.

The Aussies are always trying to get in with the Chinese. Most of their business goes to/comes from China IIRC, they don't want to upset the applecart.

Dear America

please don't start a war in the South China Sea
and even if you do, please don't drag other SEA countries into it.

Sincerely, a Malaysian

>>32858007
What the fuck would you even have to offer in a war like that?

Only thing we're gonna take from you is about 50 square miles of land for an air base, and that'd be it.

>>32858007
Dear America

We don't mind China taking everything it wants.

Signed, a Malaysian

It sounds like the harbor needs to be dredged

>>32858941

Looks to me like the captains need to pay attention or the navy needs to survey more often.

Why don't shifting sandbars just get sucked out the water?

Bothell sides would use them as a base, and there would be pointless island hopping and battles like ww2.

All those little islands would be bombed by both sides.

Isn't it the locals guide that comes aboard responsibility to navigate into/out of port?

Paid shills like 50 cent keyboard warriors and putin fluffers have access endless variety of proxies.

This Tibetan basket weaving forum is also protected by a the great paywall of google against Chinese shit posters, they need to pay for pass because google services like captcha are blocked in China.

Also based on what happens in /int/ Chinese flag means at least 2/3's chance that it western expatriate

Also flags turned /pol/ shittier than it was before.... yes, that is possible. It became /int/ 2.0 where arguments are ignored based on flags and shitposting based on 'em became the norm.

>arguments are ignored based on flags and shitposting based on 'em became the norm.
But that's the way it should be.
Flags let us know what opinions to listen to and what to safely ignore

>>32866260

yea but when there are methods to manipulate flags, what's the point

it's 4chan, why would you listen to opinions here anyways. just shitpost for fun and leave it at that

>>32862750
That's a cop out.

In civilian ships the guide litterally tells the captain what to do.

It's not like icebergs where you can see what's happening before it happens, and by the time you see the sandbarge (if you do at all) it's already 5 minutes to late.

Yes, the Capt is ultimately responsible but a guide can really Fuck him with him logically being unaware.

>>32866260
Or this place would become more divisive than ever, and you could never have a real discussion because every time a non-US flag pops up, it'd be nothing but pure shit flinging.

Chancellorsville and Blue Ridge taking up all avail drydocks in yokosuka. CVN-76 is without an air defense commander right now.

They are gonna magically get towed to SD the CTF 70 will either:

-wait until Antietam is finished up with repairs
or - grab another CG and have people experienced in carrier escort and SCS aerial defense TAD to said CG.

It's not gonna be too bad, but peoples heads are going to roll senpai.

those japs should ban the trumpistanis from their island. there is always trouble caused by them.

The Japan absolutely needs the US there for defensive purposes. Between China, Russia, and Korea they are in a close proximity to many many threats.

Besides the occasional drunk American, the formal relationship is strong and mutual.

>>32868080
japan aims for a stronger military and alliances between several asian states and japan. without US.

>>32868141

You mean the next strongest military in the East, Korea, which again has a strong partnership and needed support for the US.

Or Thailand, which once again has a SOFA agreement with the US?

Or how about further south to Australia? Again a SOFA agreement with the US.

You can be as anti-US as you want, but that doesn't mean the strategic partnership isn't mutual, beneficiary, or wanted.

>>32868181
The presence of US troops in japan is not mandatory for partnerships.

>>32868269

It is, however, necessary for swift response and defense which is apart of the agreement. They let us stay there, and we defend the entire country like it is our own soil.
