CNN: US Navy sails warship through contested waterway as Beijing warns Taiwan

The "USS Antietam conducted a routine Taiwan Strait transit July 24-25 (local time) in accordance with international law," Cdr. Clay Doss, a spokesman for the US Navy's Seventh Fleet, told CNN in a statement

Bob didn't really make a statement to respond to it. All Silent Bob did was utter or out-gas a platitude.

As I said, he missed it.

I have to admit though that when I post something he agrees with he tries to just ignore it. I know that because in the absence of an acknowledgement of his agreement, or, a response that adds to my comment, he points out the spelling error I put in, usually in the last line so I'll knowing that he read and agreed with the comment.
