U.S. Admiral: Beijing Armed South China Sea Islands in ‘Largest Military Buildup Since WWII’
The three artificial islands were built on Mischief Reef, Subi Reef, and Fiery Cross Reef, territories belonging to the Spratly Islands, an archipelago legally under the territory of the Philippines.
China’s presence on the islands is illegal regardless of the nature of its construction there. China claims nearly the entirety of the South China Sea, including territory belonging to the Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Brunei, as well as waters off the coast of Indonesia. In 2016, the Philippines won a lawsuit against China at the Permanent Court of Arbitration at the Hague in which the court ruled that China had no legal right to be present in the disputed territories, including the three reefs Aquilino discussed this weekend.
Chinese officials called the ruling a “farce” and ignored it; the government of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has repeatedly refused to seek enforcement of the ruling.
The Chinese government seized the three reefs – as well as several others in another chain, the Paracel Islands, disputed by the Philippines and Vietnam – and built artificial islands that Beijing claims are necessary for weather research and surveillance. Chinese dictator Xi Jinping asserted in 2015 that China would not “pursue militarization” in the Spratly Islands.
Extensive evidence since the completion of the artificial islands, including statements from the Chinese government, has suggested that Xi did not adhere to his promise.
According to the Associated Press, Aquilino described the three artificial islands as equipped with completed “missile arsenals, aircraft hangars, radar systems and other military facilities.”
“The function of those islands is to expand the offensive capability of the PRC [China] beyond their continental shores,” the outlet quoted the admiral as saying. “They can fly fighters, bombers plus all those offensive capabilities of missile systems.”
The facilities, he warned, “threaten all nations who operate in the vicinity and all the international sea and airspace.”
“I think over the past 20 years we’ve witnessed the largest military buildup since World War II by the PRC,” Aquilino said, noting that China appeared to have “advanced all their capabilities and that buildup of weaponization is destabilizing to the region.”
Multiple American presidential administrations have warned since at least 2015 that the Chinese Communist Party was seeking to build illegal military facilities in the South China Sea. The Chinese government has enthusiastically denied any plans to militarize the region for years. Xi Jinping himself denied such a plan in 2015 while visiting the White House.
“Relevant construction activities that China are undertaking in the Nansha [Spratly] Islands do not target or impact any country, and China does not intend to pursue militarization,” Xi said.
Shortly before Xi’s visit in September of that year, the People’s Daily, the official newspaper of the Communist Party, more specifically claimed that the construction in the region was necessary for...
The calliope is crashing to the ground
Madman drummers bummers
Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps
His way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder
Feeling kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing, sneezing and wheezing
The calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce

AOC Challenger Tina Forte’s New Ad Has AOC and her Squad Pals Shaking in Their Boots
According to her website, Forte is a small business owner who supports the police and condemns politicians like New York Congresswoman AOC and former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio who attack law enforcement.
A major part of Forte’s campaign is her focus on increasing funding for law enforcement and implementing better oversight to fire bad cops and reward good cops.
On top of that, she supports measures to lower healthcare costs and improve healthcare accessibility for all individuals. Her campaign is also focused on fully funding Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), while also pushing for measures that strengthen a border wall.
School choice is also on Forte’s agenda, as she wants to promote charter schools and vouchers as a way to foster more competition in the education sector.
In correspondence with BLP, Forte stated, “AOC is a communist sympathizer. She’s the darling of the Democratic Socialists of America – a Marxist organization that glorified Cuba’s Castro regime and Venezuela’s Maduro regime.”
Forte added:
AOC and her allies have killed New Yorkers with their bail reform and soft-on-crime policies, imprisoned us in our homes with lockdowns, ruined small businesses with shutdowns, violated our rights with mandates, and tortured children with masks for political science, not medical science. Enough is enough.In the last few weeks, Forte has been on a tear on social media.
New Yorkers have suffered because these liberals acted like dictators drunk on power. They must be stopped and it starts with firing AOC.
On March 13, 2022, Forte tweeted, “Help me get these signs all over New York’s 14th Congressional District.
Donate today at http://TinaForteForCongress.com so we can cover the Bronx and Queens!
I’d hate for @AOC to miss out on seeing these! #MABA”
On March 14, she tweeted,
“New York was built by freedom-loving people who fled oppressive regimes.
@AOC is a communist sympathizer.
NY deserves someone who will fight for us, not embrace failed Marxist ideas.
I’ll stand up for you and never stop fighting for freedom.

Forte is the challenger that is needed to make AOC sweat. In the current political environment we live in, there needs to be strong candidates who stand firmly against...
