USS America has steamed to intercept a Chinese government survey ship and several of its China Coast Guard escorts after they ventured into contested waters off the coast of Malaysia - amid an international maritime stand-off between the two Asian nations.

The United States called on China to stop its 'bullying behavior' in the South China Sea on Saturday, citing concerning reports regarding Beijing's 'provocative' actions aimed toward offshore oil and gas developments in Malaysia's mineral-rich Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).

US officials accused China of taking advantage of the distraction posed by the coronavirus outbreak to increase its maritime presence in the region, ordering them to desist.

The Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday reaffirmed its support for the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election with the goal of putting Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

Newly Declassified Evidence: Russia Didn't Try to Help Elect Trump in 2016

More and more stuff is getting declassified. It does not look good for fucking squirrelly shills such as yourself. You are shown to be liars, stupid or stupid liars.

How is The Donald a Russian agent when he is beefing up the American military more than The One ever did?

Why is The One, who had a membership to a club called "Man's Country", a favorite of yours? Do you swing that way too?

You can draw a line from Hillary to Russian FSB agents.


I know why you are made bro. The Russians spent $80,000 on NSFW stuff embedded with exhortations to vote Trump and you did because of the pics. The 1st time you voted for other than Democrat and now you can never forgive yourself!
