  They couldn't make it if they wanted to and even if they did we would just tail them until they left. It would make no sense for them to even attempt it in terms of brinkmanship as it wouldn't do anything.
context: There are always American navy groups in that area, one carrier group is always around japan. It would only be of note if they disappeared. >
  
  That seems like an interesting premise for a mystery box TV show. >
  
  This is like a bi-monthly event, pretty much the exact same headline every time. >
  
  But this time tensions are SIMMERING! If they keep this up, someone might get slammed! >

  Hoping ships from allied countries in the region go for a sail along. Australia (where I'm from), Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc. >

  They need to move fast if they want any chance at taking Taiwan because their demographics challenge is going to be a huge problem for the nation. A popular book has predicted late 2024 as the time they strike, and if they don’t do it then, then the chances of them ever doing it will decrease.
  I believe this is why political divisions seem to be getting worse and worse. Propagandists abroad, especially in Russia, are ramping up disinformation campaigns aimed at making Americans hate each other over relevant, polarizing topics such as abortion, voter fraud, race relations, masculinity, distrust in media, right to bear arms, and so on. There’s basically hard proof that this was the grand plan if you dig deeper into the Internet Research Agency. I finished a book called Russians Among Us which details just how far Putin has gone. >
  
  U.S. is 8000 miles from home, I wonder who is starting the tension??? The one going wayyyyy tf outta their way. >
  
  Freedom of Navigation, stupid. Traversing those waters is literally the right of any country. 
  Inb4 the 12 year old child level argument, "but what if the chinese were in the gulf of mexico?!?!!!?!11?!?" >
  
  It is true though if the Chinese Navy were in the Gulf of Mexico, America would surely escalate. I mean look at the Cuban Missile Crisis
