The Philippine military released video of what it said was a nearly hour-long attack off Second Thomas Shoal in the contested South China Sea, where Chinese ships have unleashed water cannon and collided with Filipino vessels in similar stand-offs in recent months.

China Coast Guard and other vessels “once again harassed, blocked, deployed water cannons, and executed dangerous manoeuvres” against a routine rotation and resupply mission to the shoal Saturday morning, the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea said.

I'm ashamed of the fact that I once visited China and enjoyed it. Of course I shouldn't admit I enjoyed it, but at the time it looked like China was becoming more civilized and intelligent, now it's gone the other way.

I don't think we should tolerate chinese or russians. I don't think we need to. In America, we proved we could blow away entire cities with fat boy bombs - we practically decimated Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I think we definitely can and should do that again by all means.

We used to be courageous enough to hurt our enemies and blow them out of existence. We need to return to those times again.

That's certainly one of the takes of all time.

Not even touching the problematic ethics here, you expect China and Russia to simply watch the nuclear warheads rain down on their cities and beg for forgiveness afterwards instead of retaliating?
