what do you mean?
poor Rex. Love him but boy did he let his tongue slip by promising to stop China from accessing the islands in the S China sea
China just said if he tries that its war and all nuclear options are on the table
is about to get real

Nominee for US secretary of state Rex Tillerson uttered astonishing statements during his confirmation hearing with the Senate on Wednesday. He likened China's island-building in the South China Sea to "Russia's taking of Crimea," and said the new US government would send China a clear signal that "first the island building stops, and second your access to those islands is also not going to be allowed."
Due to his intimate relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Tillerson is the most controversial candidate among President-elect Donald Trump's nominees for his cabinet and is considered the one most likely to be vetoed by the Senate.
It is suspected that he merely wanted to curry favor from senators and increase his chances of being confirmed by intentionally showing a tough stance toward China.
Tillerson did not give details of how he would achieve his self-proclaimed goals. Nonetheless, he also mentioned that Chinese and American economic interests are deeply intertwined and that "China has been a valuable ally in curtailing elements of radical Islam." He noted that "We should not let disagreements over other issues exclude areas for productive partnership."
It is not clear which point, among the many he made, he will prioritize. But it is worth looking at his remarks that China should not be allowed access to the islands, since this is the most radical statement from the US side so far.
China has enough determination and strength to make sure that his rabble rousing will not succeed. Unless Washington plans to wage a large-scale war in the South China Sea, any other approaches to prevent Chinese access to the islands will be foolish.
The US has no absolute power to dominate the South China Sea. Tillerson had better bone up on nuclear power strategies if he wants to force a big nuclear power to withdraw from its own territories. Probably he just has oil prices and currency rates in his mind as former ExxonMobil CEO.

You wil probably find out when you are posting your threads on a cave wall
They didn't mention nuclear war, at least it's not quoted in any legit news articles. They should have seeing as it's the only chance they have in a war with the US.China just said if he tries that its war and all nuclear options are on the table
another WWIII prediction -- and you said Trump would keep us out of it.You wil probably find out when you are posting your threads on a cave wall
They said you cannot bully a major "nuclear" power. Not sure how much clearer they could have been imo
I said Trump saved us from immediate war. But the MIC + Intelligence agencies are formidabble.
They want ensured world domination for the next 100 years and that means dismantling Russia + China the last 2 obstacles towards thats.
Ah okay I see, you're taking the CT op ed as the official statement of the Chinese govt.
The CT op ed also stated Tillerson's harsh words are just coaxing the Senate Foreign Relations Committee [for confirmation] which would suggest that isn't about to get real.
I doubt our defcon level has changed.
"CT op ed as the official statement of the Chinese govt."
... it is, just like Moscow Times is Putin's word.
Well that chinese media source is a known mouthpiece of the govmt.
Rex was pretty much slammed by china, so you think he was just BSing to the senate?
or just like Washington Post, NYT are Washingtons's words

CNN was thrilled yesterday afternoon when the four Trump guys went against the Trump grain in the hearings. LMAO. Didn't last long as they soon smelled a rat and floated the belief that the 4 were playing possum.
You Goddamn rights.

What was the question...
Russia was not in anyway involved with hacking
Ok they were.
Well we don't know for sure...
Solid figure so far.
A lot of got real since my original thread announcing Russias entry into the Syria theatre Einstein.
Russia saved Assads ass, liberated Syria and kicked the living out of Obamas army of jihadists. Just as I predicted.
Thats a lot of real . GOT REAL.
Syria is not liberated.
Wtf are you reading, that country still is swarming with all sorts of groups. The larger cities are a complete rubble mess now.
Control of rubble...
Even if Assad was in control of the entire country, it would not be liberated as a butcher would be in control.
Understand this:
As long as Iran has a say in that country, which it does, Assad is under two thumbs. Iran has groups on the ground. Russia has the air. Now add Turkey. That's 3 thumbs. You think this is some sort of liberation? You got 3 different countries gonna run your .
You have no clue as usual.
You need to apply for some sort of Evangelical certification and run your own church.
Scream about WWIII and getting real. You make money off of Cosmo and Mouse types. Great gig.
Why do you think China would commit suicide over something as trite? You're a chicken little, settle down. The schtick isn't working.
