Not-So Veiled Threat? China Releases Video Showing Attack Against U.S. While Russia & China Warships Threaten War

 

7 Sep 15

 

We can not be so naive as to think that the release of this video is NOT a threat. Combine this video they made with the FACYT that our waters and air space have been invaded recently and more than once. We can NOT seriously continue life as usual, the stuff is going to hit the fan and knock the majority of America back on their cushioned posteriors permanently! Stay at the ready and prepare COMPLETELY. (emotional, physical, spiritual)

 

China Warships Approach U.S. Coast Sparking War Fears

According to reports, five Chinese warships have moved into the Bering Sea near Alaska after participating in a naval exercise with Russia. Yet the consensus of analysts is that the ships are not viewed as a threat by the United States government, even as President Barack Obama is currently travelling in northern Alaska near the Arctic Circle.

Defense Department acknowledges Chinese vessels

White House spokesman Josh Earnest confirmed that the Defense Department had identified a number of Chinese vessels in that region, but that military analysis had revealed that there was no form of threat, or indeed threatening activities, emanating from the naval presence.

Nonetheless, the US military continues to monitor the region, increasingly wary of ships emanating from China in the area. It has been reported that the US authorities have been tracking the movement of vessels in the region for days, as they continue to traverse international waters. Although comments emanating from Washington have been diplomatic, the defense department has also taken what is fundamentally a neutral position.

Earnest stated that the intention of the ships at this time is still unclear, and clearly there is at least some form of suspicion among the US administration. However, despite this suspicion, as long as vessels behave in accordance with international law, it seems certain that that United States will retain its diplomatic distance.

Navy Cdr. Bill Urban, a Pentagon spokesman, indicated that vessels from China have not been spotted in the Bering Sea before, but was also keen to emphasize that the United States viewed the conduct of China as acceptable at the time of writing. Urban stated that the United States respected “the freedom of all nations to operate military vessels in international waters in accordance with international law”.

China ships approach US coast

What particularly caused concern about the behavior of the Chinese vessels was, firstly, the fact that they came within 12 nautical miles of the United States coast. This could have represented a temporary passage into US territorial waters, according to the Pentagon. Secondly, the proximity of Obama to the incident has obviously been of concern to the White House hierarchy, even if there was really no credible threat to the President.

Pentagon officials indeed confirmed that five Chinese navy ships had passed through United States territorial waters as they transited the Aleutian Islands. And this has unquestionably generated headlines in many quarters. But it is important to emphasize that the ships had also completely complied with international law.

Nonetheless, analysts are assessing this incident as a significant chapter in the ongoing diplomatic, economic and covert military battle between the United States and China. The Chinese authorities have long objected to the United States transiting vessels in its territorial waters, or indeed operating in international waters just outside the limits of China. In this context, this latest incident could be seen as very much a retaliatory effort from the Chinese. Read More
