In a move designed to scare the ku zi and chen ku off the Chinese, the U.S. Navy is secretly planning to send a ship as close as 12 nautical miles to the disputed islands in the South China Sea, a U.S. official told Fox
News. The official asked the network to keep their lips sealed about this mission because "Loose lips sink ships," they reminded Fox.
The purpose of this secret mission is to challenge Beijing's territorial claims. "They can't just built crap in the middle of the ocean and call it freaking China," Donald Trump may have secretly said in reaction to the boldness with which China plans to expand its borders.
According to top secret information reported by Reuters, the Navy is planning to move on the Spratty Islands, an archipelago that China has the nerve to lay claim to by building airstrips and other features on top of reefs.
It is quite likely that a surveillance aircraft will join the Navy destroyer USS Lassen in an American show of testicular fortitude, says Reuters.
When asked for comment at Monday's press briefing, White House Press Secretary Josh Notvery Earnest would not confirm nor deny any such operation was planned and he covertly put his index finger to his lips and made a shushing sound to indicate that no further questions on this subject will be taken.
Earnest did say, however, that ensuring freedom of navigation is critically important to a global economy and that this is the principle at stake in the secret mission. "Shush," he added.
Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joe Dunford Jr. will travel to Asia on Friday. So-called president Obama was set to meet with Indonesian President Joko Widodo on Monday as that country, along with others, are worried about China's expansive maritime balderdash.
The dispute with the strategic waterways situation has intensified last year, as China is clearly upsetting it smaller and militarily weaker neighbors who all lay claim to territory in the Spratly and Paracel islands, one of the busiest shipping routes, rich in fish, oil, fish oil, and potential gas.
You may recall our so-called commander in chief met with Chinese President Xi Jinping last month at the White House. He was greeted by Mr. Obama and about eleven members of the Muslim Brotherhood.
