Here is an idea. Base a recovery ship in the Phillipines or Taiwan. It would be closer. They could be 1 to 3 days away.
An unarmed recovery ship is no threat to Phillipine pride.
An recovery ship in Taiwan would make a Chinese leader look bad. They could get civilized, invade or lose face.
Can someone please just explain to my why on earth Russia would invade in tbe first place? All this looks like a diversion...
Putin is a nazi just like Hitler, and he really wants to reform the Soviet Union and crush democracy and freedom. That's the gist of it, according to western media and politicians
Real powerbrokers can always refill their coffers via state controlled capitalism, corny capitalism or whatever you want to call it. Sanctions of people of large powers do not work. They have not worked, since they have been tried it in 7 years.
"he really wants to reform the Soviet Union"
The shoe fits.
""Above all, we should acknowledge that the collapse of the Soviet Union was a major geopolitical disaster of the century."
dont feed the dog
Why doesn't Russia put sanctions against Hillary Clinton and top campaign aides like Sussman?
"Before the 2016 election, the Clinton team also pushed claims to the press of a Trump-Alfa Bank covert communication channel, with Slate publishing a detailed story on this conspiracy theory the week before the election."
Target big enough companies, enough companies or a some combination of the preceding, they can hurt the economy of another nation. If those companies were targeted due too outright lies, would not sanctions against individuals be warranted.
Sanctions against Hillary would be nice.
Key Democrats also made slurs against Deutsche Bank too. Maybe Chancellor Schultz can slap sanction against Team Hillary too, Either prosecute Deutsche Bank in the Us or be prepared to face slander charges in Europe.
