The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I wasn't aware of all those incidents. I knew about the ramming and water cannons, and chasing fishing boats.

China has upped the ante by declaring they will start arresting people in "their waters".

The Philippines apparently needs to file a report of hostilities with the UNSC for the US to take action. So far they haven't done so. Would kidnapping citizens qualify? Water cannons are borderline, though if someone dies that should cross that line.

We don't want to go cowboy here, but China keeps pushing just a little bit further all the time, backing into a war. Still have to await Manila to file, unless China is stupid enough to attack one of our ships.
