US Warship ‘Encounters’ Chinese, Russian Vessels Near Guam; US Deletes Post Amid SCS Tensions

[Starmix]

According to the report, the said encounter is reported to have occurred near Guam, the American military base in the Western Pacific Ocean. However, the post was later taken down. Guam is the US’s westernmost point and territory. It is home to three major military bases used by the US Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps.

The report said that the post on August 6 was accompanied by a video of the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Rafael Peralta’s homecoming to Japan’s Yokosuka naval base, its home port, following an extended summer patrol. The 9,700-ton destroyer arrived at the base a day prior, and the post indicated the extent of the joint military drills between China and Russia. This was the fourth joint patrol of the Chinese and Russian navies.

The report added that the joint naval formation entered the South China Sea via the Balintang Channel. It patrolled around South Korea’s Jeju Island in the East China Sea. It then passed through the Osumi Strait near Japan before heading southward to the South China Sea.

Further, the US Navy conducts joint patrols with partner countries in the South China Sea to ensure freedom of navigation. However, the PLA Navy, which considers the disputed waters its “backyard,” seldom carries out the patrol.

China thinks the SCS is their backyard, similar to how we look at both the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea.
The difference? America doesn't go around harassing our neighbors in those regions and actually, most of the time, leave them be (Grenada 1983 notwithstanding.)

The US government is not like them who are not using their logic. Russia condemned the US as one supplier of powerful missiles to Ukraine.

No one's like China; Beijing thinks the world revolves around them and only them. (Japan had the same thoughts in the 80's and early 90's and it didn't help them any either).

Russia condemned the US as one supplier of powerful missiles to Ukraine.

Russia can pound sand on that one; whenever they complain, Starmix, the U.S. should simply say to them "We'll stop assisting Ukraine when you return Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk to Ukraine and not a second before."
