The US military is planning to have a transformative year in the Pacific. To them, that means militarizing the region. More ships, more planes, more troops, more missiles, and more agreements with allies - all aimed at containing China and their ambitions of power.

Aka The U.S goes mask-off on the South China Sea, and Johnny Harris tries to equivalent China’s actions to that of the U.S.
What can I say?
On Harris himself, I suspect his moderacy is being used to co-opt a sort of good cop side of the pro U.S position, considering past videos.
NED- National Endowment in Democracy, an international pro-U.S organization funded by the C.I.A to support color revolutions.
But on a more serious note:
What do you suppose of the Philippine Sea debate, because I haven’t gotten a clarified rationale and context on China’s actions, from your side?
And how would I counter claims of local Chinese aggression.
