Furious China Shadows Two US Warships Sailing Through Disputed Waters, Warns Them To Leave

Furious China Shadows Two US Warships Sailing Through Disputed Waters, Warns Them To Leave thumbnail

China is again furious after the US sailed several warships through the heavily disputed waters in the South China Sea, military sources told Reuters.  The move by the US has escalated tensions between both countries, already tense as the latest round of trade talks have fallen apart, and the signing of the phase one trade deal has likely been delayed. 

The USS Gabrielle Giffords (LCS-10), an Independence-class littoral combat ship, on Wednesday sailed within 12 nautical miles of Mischief Reef, a militarized island in the South China Sea operated by China.

Then on Thursday, USS Wayne E. Meyer, an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, sailed through the Paracel islands in the South China Sea.

“These missions are based in the rule of law and demonstrate our commitment to upholding the rights, freedoms, and lawful uses of the sea and airspace guaranteed to all nations,” Commander Reann Mommsen, a spokeswoman for the US Navy’s Seventh Fleet, told Reuters.

China’s People’s Liberation Army shadowed the two US warships as they both transited through the disputed waters, and “warned them to leave.” China’s military warned the US has to stop sending warships near its militarized islands to “avoid the happening of any mishap.”

“The US has kept sending naval vessels to stir up trouble in the South China Sea under the pretext of freedom of navigation,” a statement from the Chinese military, with the Southern Theatre Command said. “We call on the US to stop such provocative acts to avoid the happening of any mishap.”

China’s Foreign Ministry Geng Shuang, at a press briefing on Friday, told reporters, “the US actions severely damage China’s sovereignty and safety, destroy the peace and stability in the South China Sea, and we express our resolute opposition.”

The US has increased freedom of navigation operations since the trade war began, attempting to counter China not just on economic fronts, but also on military ones. The latest freedom of navigation missions conducted by the US is coinciding with new reports this week, that the phase one trade deal between both countries has been delayed until 2020. The Trump administration is reportedly not willing to roll back tariffs for a deal that doesn’t include intellectual property and technology transfer. This has caused renewed anxieties between Washington and Beijing.

As trade wars continue to be unresolved, it’s becoming increasingly evident that military tensions between both countries are increasing as well.

    IMA, The reason we continue to focus our military adventurism on Eurasia is because that’s where much of the remaining resources are. The BRI is a regional strategy that doesn’t include us, We’re pissed off about that and we should be. 5 percent of the global population is no longer going to enjoy more than 20 percent of the world’s resources.

    Bet your bottom dollar that IF the US would attack Iran, Russia and China would support Iran, at least in a proxy war, using US navy as a defenseless guinea pig for Russian and Chinese hyper-sonic missiles.

    “Do you think between 230 GW and 450 GW of offshore wind are doable by 2050? Not that we’ll likely be around by then anyhow.”

    https://deepresource.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/three-bassins.jpg

    1600 GW waiting to be raked in. EU average power consumption 300 GW. The old continent has no conventional fossil fuel reserves worth mentioning, fortunately Europe doesn’t need to. Armed with the Paris Climate Accords, Europe effectively dissed everybody else his fossil fuel reserves and is offering a viable alternative instead.

    This is currently the best jackup ship in the world (Dutch-owned, but I digress):

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JV9PykR5bHo

    It can install one monopile per day, let’s say 250/year. Currently we are at 8 MW, in a year or two at 10 MW turbines.

    Average EU power consumption 300 GW. If completely covered by wind power, add in a capacity factor of 0.5 to deal with variability of offshore wind, hence 600 GW. Soooh, 600,000 MW/10 MW = 60,000 monopiles.

    2050 is 30 years from now. 1 ship can install in that time 250 x 30 = 7500 turbines. We need 8 times as many, so we need 8 ships like the Aeolus.

    Do we have these ships in Europe? Yep, overkill:

    https://deepresource.wordpress.com/2017/05/09/the-giants-of-a-new-energy-age/

    Resuming: a significant portion of the required investment has already been done, namely the jackup-ships that costs hundreds of millions per piece. That’s the beauty of the renewable energy policy of the UE, if gives clear and reliable signals to the European energy industry that it pays off to invest in this kind of equipment.

    Again, there is no energy generation problem, renewable is already the cheapest. The last remaining challenge is storage, but the entire planet is working on it.

    The French leader underlined that “Russia is geographically a part of Europe.” According to him, “new relations with Russia vital to create a new security architecture”

    With 640 million Europeans, 16,000 ton gold (at least twice that of the US and 8x that of China) and thousands of nuclear weapons and the only credible guarantee of a world-wide “white lives matter” movement, this new geopolitical entity would be the world’s #1 in one blow and able to liberate those Americans loyal to their European roots and defeat the youknowwho once and for all.

Since 2011, the proportion of citizens who feel unsafe in their own residential area during the daytime almost doubled from 11 per cent to 20 per cent. “The growing insecurity in Stockholm is also underscored by the fact that more and more county residents are refraining from activities due to concern about being exposed to crime, such as walking, cinema or visiting acquaintances,” the report stated.”

But Doctors told her that in order to fix her ass, it may have to be amputated. “Amputate the whole booty? I’m not doing that. No, I’m not doing that. I’m not amputating butts,” she responded. She had the illegal fillers injected when she was 22 years old and working as a dancer in a club. She said: “When I was in college I got a job dancing at a club.

    “The Cost of Decommissioning Wind Turbines is Huge”
    https://tinyurl.com/t4cbuxx institute for energy research

    “Wind turbine blades are made of a tough but pliable mix of resin and fiberglass—similar to what spaceship parts are made from. Decommissioned blades are difficult and expensive to transport. They can be anywhere from 100 to 300 feet long and must be cut up on-site before getting trucked away on specialized equipment to a landfill that may not have the capacity for the blades. Landfills that do have the capacity may not have equipment large enough to crush them. One such landfill cuts the blades into three pieces and stuffs the two smaller sections into the third, which is cheaper than renting stronger crushing machines. One company has found a way to recycle blades by grinding them up to make small pellets that can be used for decking materials, pallets and piping. The company opened its first processing facility in central Texas this year and is leasing a second space near Des Moines, Iowa. Given that the United States now has almost 100 gigawatts of wind capacity and that the life span of wind power is generally 20 years—much less than the traditional capacity it is replacing—finding technologies for recycling of the parts is becoming extremely important. (This shorter lifespan of this capital investment also means the replacement power needs to be recapitalized 2 to 3 times compared to power from conventional generation technologies, a little-discussed economic burden facing consumers in the future.)… Conclusion As with other aspects of renewable energy, the decommissioning of wind turbines was not planned out well in terms of their disposal when their useful life is over. Because wind turbines have a shorter life span than most other technologies, the dismantling of these units is already in progress in Europe and will soon be needed in the United States. Due to the size of the units, landfills do not have the capacity or equipment to break down the huge rotor blades. Repowering is being done in Europe and some turbines are resold to developing nations. But, needless to say, it is expensive to decommission wind turbines and who pays when the funds are not sufficient to cover the expense is an issue.”
