Escobar: The Heart Of The Matter In The South China Sea
Yet “freedom” was never the issue. In imperial terminology, “freedom” means that China must obey and keep the South China Sea open to the US Navy. Well, that’s possible, but you gotta behave. That’ll be the day when the US Navy is “denied” the South China Sea. You don’t need to be Mahan to know that’ll mean the imperial end of ruling the seven seas.
ROBERT STEELE: “America First” means close all US bases overseas and stop the nonsense about the US Navy being relevant to freedom of the seas. Land bases should be closed because they are the Deep State's lily pads for smuggling children, drugs, guns, gold, and cash. We do need a 450 ship Navy to do global power intervention on a precision basis. The US Department of Defense (DoD) is 50% waste and cannot win wars. We are long overdue for a serious audit of the entire US Government (USG), starting with DoD and the largely worthless toxic secret intelligence community.
