But then they bitch about China and their wrongdoings in the South China Sea

Yeah because a stupid old man wanting to change the name is totally the same as building islands and putting military bases on then

You're right, but I worry this is an expansion of rhetoric similar to Taiwan. "It's always been our gulf. They're using land on our gulf."

It's done in the same spirit and will go down the same way. You people are just too blind to see the evil these people will put into this world in the next few years.

Besides that, the US definitely doesn't lack in overseas military bases.
