Every conflict has the US behind.

I think it's important to point out these space lasers are secular and not affiliated with any religion. Can someone tell MTG?

菲律宾真以为有美国罩着就无敌了,找死

What a surprise!? Is there a better way to catch a catfish ?

Philippines: China ship hits Filipino crew with laser lightMANILA, Philippines (AP) — The Philippines on Monday accused a Chinese coast guard ship of hitting a Philippine coast guard vessel with a military-grade laser and temporarily blinding some of its crew in the disputed South China Sea , calling it a “blatant” violation of Manila’s sovereign rights. China is really on one lately sheesh. Military grade lasers would have caused permanent blindness rather than a temporary loss of sight caused by dazzling with a civilian grade laser. They should have put out a mirror to reflect it back (there must have been a mirror on board)

An 'attack' that can permanently maim crew members...same as shooting at them could. Maybe the navy should get out of the Chinese sea? Like I feel like that’s the provocation, not china reacting to that but ok.
