They are obviously antagonising the US. If the US join the war, theres a possibility Russia might aswell (in the side of the commies). At that point Europe is forced to counter Russia. It can escalate quite easily.

Obviously theres the possibility that Russia doesnt want to (wich would be way smarter).

The US won't join anything, even if smth will happen the best Japs (and whoever else from that сordon sanitaire of South China Sea) might expect from them is to play their 2nd (logistic, reconnaissance/intelligence, EW, like Lybia) or 3rd (diplomatic support, propaganda, like Syria) fiddle, letting them both kill each other. What Russia has to do with the conflict is beyond me. And Europe counter Russia, with what might I ask?

There was other 'strategist' here suggesting China might threaten Hawaii. I did say then if smth is bound to happen it'll be decided in South/East China Sea and no further. Chinese won't and can't successfully threaten the US military bases in the region let alone target some distant bases or homeland itself.

Leave Chinese alone already, they might be cocky but relatively harmless.

Dude, they are threatning to wage war with 3 other countries and you say they are harmless? Really? Open your eyes.
