Side note...that ship’s paint job looks a whole lot like the US coast guard.

Has that kind of become a de-facto international standard, or is China even ripping off ship markings now?

The racing strip is very common with coast guards.  Most of them use some variation of it.

Most of the ones I saw had some form of deck gun and even the smaller ones had mounts for machine guns, not like they need much more to sink fishing and research vessels.  Been a few years since I was last there though and I've only seen them in port, not at sea.

The fact that they never fought back, blows my mind.

There's no way I, or anyone I worked with when I was an MA would have given up TWO boats and surrendered to Iranians.

My only guess is they called for support, and it was never sent because whoever was in charge was an 0bama butt boy... but then again, that describes 95% of Navy leadership today.

Back to the thread topic though: A war with China is inevitable, and exactly what the world wants / needs.

It's definitely by design, China is continuing it's ramping up of asserting itself with the expectation that the Biden admin will be as weak on foreign policy as the Obama admin was.

It's all part of the plan, but the plan is China's plan that results with the US in the number two position of global powers.  Their goal is to be there by 2049 and they're likely well ahead of schedule.

If we don't get involved and if they work together, they could destroy China's navy but I'm guessing it'd be costly and China's retarded enough to feel like losing face is worth the nuclear option.  That's asking a lot, probably too much, for countries that historically hate each other and have very long memories.  The Taiwanese, S. Korean, Japanese and Singaporean militaries are high tech and punch above their weights, the others in the area have a mishmash of older and often obsolete equipment, much of it not combat ready much less combat effective but they could be used for blockade purposes, taking out smaller vessels, etc.  There is a surprising number of diesel electric boats in the area but how well trained and effective they would actually be is questionable.  

Most of those countries have a lot of internal graft, corruption and squabbles that are hamstringing them when they need to be looking at the bigger picture.  Duturte would probably gladly surrender for thirty pieces of silver or pull an Italy and join on China's side since he and his family are bought and paid for but I'm not sure how the people would take that; the average Filipino hates China and the Chinese, same as the people in most of the other countries in the region.  Unfortunately their leaders are all selling them out in China's belt and road and string of pearls programs.

Maybe the Koreans need to get something like a C-27 Spartan with a 40mm Bofors in the back.
Drop a few rounds of AP into their engine room and you'll find them much more agreeable to removing those anti-RHIB spikes.

Well, it certainly didn't take long for China to start acting tough again. I guess when you have a literal buffoon running the US these sort of things happen.  Anyone want to take bets on how long it takes Iran to start seizing foreign flagged vessels again?

Somehow all of that seems to get ignored.

So Lt. Shane Osborn?  He had zero right to be giving anyone shit since he handed over the Navy's crown jewel of top secret recon/sigint equipment, electronics, with completely intact data and documents directly to the Chinese.  We don't even know exactly what he handed over to the Chinese because he failed to inventory all the classified equipment and documents on board.  He had a choice to land in friendly Vietnam or ditch in the ocean, but he chose to land in China.

It's pretty well known that Duturte is and has always been a crooked POS yet idiots on this board cheered him on because they thought his retarded stance on drugs was a good idea.

He's sold his country out on the Spratley's as well as the oil and fishing grounds.
