    There are all kinds of things happening in the South China Sea. I don’t think it’s three civilian vessels for aircraft to take off from.

    There doesn’t even have to be any particular thing they plan to do with it. They might just be building up capabilities because they expect exciting things to keep happening, and there are a lot of islands in the area they expect it to happen in, and they want to be prepared.

    • Plausible. I can get behind the whole “building up capabilities” and “they want to be prepared” theory.

      But of course, just being prepared and preparing to invade are two very different things. (Then again, considering how much I’m hoping an invasion attempt doesn’t kick off, it could also be a case of me having the rose-tinted glasses on a bit too tight.)
