The Philippine military released video of what it said was a nearly hour-long attack off Second Thomas Shoal in the contested South China Sea, where Chinese ships have unleashed water cannon and collided with Filipino vessels in similar stand-offs in recent months.

China Coast Guard and other vessels “once again harassed, blocked, deployed water cannons, and executed dangerous manoeuvres” against a routine rotation and resupply mission to the shoal Saturday morning, the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea said.

In America, we proved we could blow away entire cities with fat boy bombs - we practically decimated Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I think we definitely can and should do that again by all means.

We used to be courageous enough to hurt our enemies and blow them out of existence. We need to return to those times again.

That was only United States, not America as a whole. I would like people not to blame other countries or a whole continent for the things United States did.

Who was placing any blame? I'm glad we did those things, whether it was the country or the continent or the whole damn fucking world, it needed to be done.
