Pentagon chief says China expects "serious consequences" due to "militarization" in disputed islands

During a discussion forum in California, US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter stated that "the United States is closely following Chinese militarization in the area of ​​disputed islands." We are talking about the Diaoyu Islands (Senkaku), which are challenged by China and Japan, as well as other small archipelagoes that, besides China, are territorially claimed by Vietnam, Brunei, the Philippines and Malaysia. According to Carter, "China’s actions could lead to serious risks in the area of ​​disputed islands."

The head of the Pentagon at the same time said that "the United States will continue to monitor" the situation in areas of disputed islands in the South China Sea, and added that for China "its actions can have serious consequences." This writes the news agency TASS.

What “serious consequences” Mr. Carter spoke about are not reported, however, it is reported that Carter called the US monitoring actions “fit into the norms of international law”. But at the same time, the US Secretary of Defense forgot to add that according to the US Constitution for Washington, there are no norms of international law, and the entire policy is based solely on the American legal system, which protects, of course, exclusively American interests.

The Pentagon intends to play its national card in the region - by the hands of the Japanese! Namely, Washington will threaten peace in the region around the disputed islands with the support of militarists and revanchists in Japan itself.

Well, yes, yes, it directly frightened China to the point of trembling, I also found a world gendarme, Carter actually needs to heal his head, lately it has been nonsense like a nonsense, and yet the Minister of Defense is all the same.

All these Carter statements about China are blah blah for the uninitiated. China is the main trading and manufacturing partner of the United States, in addition, China is the largest holder of securities of the United States. Therefore, there’s no Carter parrot who can solve relations with China. It’s just that the White House allowed the Pentagon’s chihuahua to yap (well, to remind itself), but nothing more.

Unfortunately, this is not insurance against opposition or conflict. and not a pledge of "friendship"

The history is full of examples when countries having trade and other ties started wars

It seems that the great confrontation of the 21 century is already beginning. No USSR - and China becomes the main geopolitical adversary of the West. No other size

By the way, we have the opportunity to "call fire on ourselves" and distract the United States from China - if we reunite the Eurasian Empire, for example, involve Uzbekistan. Turkmenistan, Mongolia, in addition to the 5 republics, we will raise production - and our EAC will reach indicators comparable to China, etc. But unlikely.

And there, in Fashington, the whole administration is such - not very smart - as if someone specially picked them up because of the lack of brains ... But Grandma Clinton will come to power - it will be complete Armageddian - all over the planet at once. It combines a unique combination: stupidity, greed, treachery, sodomy, sadism and kleptomania ...

"Exactly what kind of 'serious consequences' Mr. Carter spoke about is not reported."
Serious consequences are Amer's verbal drisen. They do not rock the boat themselves to China.
If only the Japs in the ass will shove in the literal and figurative sense.

He is worried because he really has to answer for the bazaar. Not only in front of the dark-skinned moron, but in front of the two NUCLEAR powers. Not only will his nose sparkle, but his pants should also be checked.

[Kent0001]

I already wrote about this type here, but I'm sorry to repeat. It’s just that I have a firm conviction that when they are appointed to posts in the US administration, people either completely pump their brains out, or they put in a liter of brakes, or they have specials. selection, the main criterion of which is a certain degree of debility. I really do not want to offend anyone, but if you listen to this creature, Breedlove and the other McCains, I can only affirm my suspicions. And the fact that they are all infected with the Russophobia virus in its most active phase, you can’t argue at all.

[Giant thought]

China is already such a powerful power that it can simply spit on these American consequences.

[Kosta153]

Just about. Let's see what the Chinese will answer. I think, tough.

[donavi49]

Not a fact.

US agencies downgraded China.
Chinese metal duties are raised substantially.
The Chinese exchange is being shaken.

[VeteranS]

China has significantly more opportunities to bring down the US economy, based on soap bubbles, and the cosmically huge US national debt of almost $ 18 trillion .... But very cautious Chinese will not shake the air with empty threats, but will quietly and imperceptibly undermine US power and build up its military power.

[Ingvar 72]

And if the United States restricts exports from China? Almost all of China's industry is oriented to the West.

[Finches]

The red dragon didn't even take an ear, reluctantly leafing through the ancient Chinese treatise by Sun Tzu "The Art of War" ...

[Denis Obukhov]

Here the expression "they will throw hats" is really suitable. There are almost 6 (!) Times more Chinese than the Yankees, and gradually the Chinese are filling the North American continent. If Europe is groaning from a couple of million "refugees", then I can only vaguely imagine what the Chinese in the United States can do in the event of a serious conflict. What can the Yankees do to the Chinese? Poor ...

[Denis Obukhov]

I like the phrase "disputed islands". A dispute is a product with complete opposition from the parties! And in this case, there are no parties! The Chinese created these islands in the depths of the sea. What is there to argue about and with whom?
It's like with ukrami. They dug the Black Sea. No one else participated in this exciting process. So the sea is theirs! If, of course, they prove that they dug it. And then problems may arise! Some "unseen" scientists may even say that no one pulled it out! And that the founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus, were not natives of the city of Romny in the Sumy region, or, at all, heresy, that Christopher Columbus was not escaped from Kolomyia in the Ivano-Frankivsk region!
Well, that's another story! From the psychiatric hospital closer to home, get a little farther!

The funny thing is that these sheep naturally believe in it.

Now the States have crossed over not the Chinese "last serious warning"

[222222]

Changed places .... "one thousand and first American warning .. to China!"

[Baloo]

Most likely serious consequences await the Pentagon and the FSA. I even know which ones. At times, the Kimtays jump up, and two do not have Farmington and the Pentagon.
Chinese scientists have long calculated at what angle and on which foot every Chinese person must jump, in what order, so that the Phishington evil empire ceases to exist. And Plan B is even simpler, a half of the Chinese troops are simultaneously landed in the FSA and surrendered. Well, that's all...

[YohanPalych]

The head of the Pentagon said ... that for China "its actions can have serious consequences." (((

"Last Chinese Warning" to Chinese ???! Oh well...

[clidon]

Or so that later they would not say "We were not warned."

[lukke]

Something recently, the Pentagon general has a spring-military aggravation that threatens everyone and everything ... Has the generation that has already forgotten the horror stories of the veterans of the Korean and Vietnamese wars? Oh well

[Spartanez300]

Everyone was intimidated by their consequences, as if these consequences themselves were not pinned to the wall.

[Great-grandfather of Zeus]

And the Chinese listen, and pour islands on themselves further, and so they get rid of the islands from the United States, and the Yankees will urgently learn Chinese.

[Mountain shooter]

China is a nuclear power. The first economy in the world. It can economically "crash" the States simply by presenting its stocks of their bonds for payment. It is clear that this will be a world crisis, but in the event of a real war, no one will look at it. Therefore, there will be no war. Yapi will not climb to beat off the islands, and mattress covers will not climb for them either. China is well aware of this, and does not listen to any warnings.

The Chinese now, in theory, must be afraid of the "serious consequences" and come out of the Chinese Communist Party in united ranks ... to the bulk islands.

The Americans have forgotten that they no longer have an ocean barrier. And the Japanese will rake in to the fullest if they snoop. Between the PRC and Japan, the Cold War has not stopped since 1945.

[valent45]

The Chinese have practice - less words, more work. From the islands they will make roads to different countries,
including closer to the United States. ABM systems will be installed on these roads. And no one decree to them.

[drilled]

The Chinese bought up the floor of the Amer economy. We will see what you can do to them)))

but how is this chapter responsible for his verbal diarrhea ... or there it is already the norm ...

[triglav]

I think so: the time has come for us to unite with the Chinese in an adult way, to teach the presumptuous NATO (read - the Yankees).

[Polite Moose]

According to Carter, “China’s actions can lead to serious risks in the area of ​​the disputed islands.”

If the Chinese deploy strike systems and serious air defense on the bulk islands, then the risks for the Yap and the US in that region will increase significantly. Carter is downright "Captain Obvious"

Why did they completely lose their fear? The Chinese do not forgive anyone. Revenge and forget!

"They will pay." Hillary Clinton sharply criticized the last two allies of Bashar al-Assad - Russia and China. Secretary of State delivered a speech during the Friends of Syria conference in Paris. She called on both countries to stop providing military support to the Syrian government.
HILLARY CLINTON, US Secretary of State: This is a regime that has a huge war machine. I am sure many of you have been following the skirmish that I had with the Russian authorities in connection with the transfer of combat helicopters that they returned to Syria. I thank the UK and other European countries that have clearly expressed their protest against the further movement of this ship. July 6 2012

But this is a joke, but seriously, in the place of this gentleman, I would be careful not to pester China with such threats, nobody will ask me the truth, but we must remember that China, with its gold reserves, is able to bring down the US economy in one day and their allies, that they won’t see enough.
