#1 See SPUTNIK NEWS on the Russian take on the deployment of the USS "STENNIS" CVN.

The Chinese are once again not happy.

#2 I would be surprised to learn that a large percentage of the USA's cruise missile carrying attack subs are not already deployed within firing range of norkland. What is one more sub? Pudgy has to know that a world of hurt is posed to rain down on him should he try something stupid.

#4 It is one thing to position assets. It is quite another to put them to use.

And the Norks (and everyone else) are looking at a 7-year track record.

Mutual defense pacts can be problematic.

#5 More this AM ... ...

* WASHINGTON TIMES > CHINA RATTLES ITS SABRES AT JAPAN, CITES WW2.

* WORLD NEWS, TWITTER > CHINA WARNS JAPAN, US TO EXERCISE CAUTION ON TAIWAN, CHINA SEAS ISSUES.

Beijing warns Tokyo + Washington to tread carefully + not to intervene in its "internal" affairs.

* PLA DAILY ONLINE = CHINAMIL > US [Strategic, Nuke-armed/capable] "KILLING MACHINES" FLOOD INTO ASIA-PACIFIC REGION, in aftermath of alleged NOKOR H-Bomb test.

* MANILA TIMES > US TROOPS CAN BE DEPLOYED TO DISPUTED [South China Sea]ISLANDS - BIAZON, e.g. Pagasa under the terms of EDCA.

Ex-PH Armed Forces Chief Rodolfo Biazon.

* RELATED GLOBALNATION.PH > EDCA WILL ACT AGZ CHINA'S "CREEPING AGGRESSION" - BIAZON.

* @WSJ@TWITTER > THE US CAN PLAY "TAIWAN" CARD IFF CHINA [Beijing] WON'T BACK DOWN IN EAST ASIA
| FOR US, TAIWAN VOTE CHANGES CALCULUS ON "ONE CHINA" POLICY.

YEEEUUP.

ARTIC = Bejing should be demanded to give up any + all sovereign rights or claims to TAIWAN in return for being allowed to keep its SCS islands.

SORRY, WSJ + JOHN BOLTON, BUT METHINKS BEIJING IS GONNA DEMAND SOMETHING TIT-FOR-TAT FROM THE US [read, Guam-CNMI-WESTPAC?].

China loses or gives up something(s), so must the US.

VERSUS

* YAHOO NEWS > AMIDST DROP IN OIL PRICES, US NAVY DEPLOYS "GREAT GREEN FLEET", i.e. Bio-fueled Naval vessels.

Reminds of an old childhood dream or vision of mine where, to counter slowly but steadily intensifying Solar-led GWCC = heating up of the Earth, the USN decides to coat its ships wid specially developed Anti-Solar lubes + other Techs.

EEEEWWWWWWWWWWW - D *** NG IT, WTFH KIND OF SHIP PAINT-OILS ARE THESE???
