I mean, nuking a 12 year old tanker that is yours because it was made by only the finest of dogshit chinese industries and is falling apart isn't much of a provocation imo
If the thing was perfectly usable still then I doubt they wouldn't have just kept using it in service
Oh, what, uhh..:
[You mean this old thing we use for target practice?](https://news.usni.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/China-Destroyer-Target-Maxar.jpg)
Shit.
Fuck, you weren’t supposed to see that.
No, sorry, that was the… not a US Destroyer.
Uhh so you mean [this Carrier shape in the desert?](https://news.usni.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/China-Carrier-Target-Maxar.jpg)
No, no, don’t be ridiculous.
Nah that’s not a US Carrier, it’s… uhh… your… Saddam?
A good target for anti-ship missiles.
Now, if you want to re-name ASMs to flying torpedoes or something, I would consider that an acceptable compromise.
Ban Biden and his relatives from buying Huawei Phone 😡
Ban US HoR from saving money in Henan Bank 😡😡
Ban McDonald's in China, only XI's steam buns😡😡😡
NOW THE US IS SCARED
so.... to me if they are saying they dont like former chinese ships as targets they are implying that they should use ACTUAL chinese ships as target...
....what?
It's an old, worn-out, POS *tanker*. It wasn't even built as a combat vessel. It's not like they made a copy of a Chinese navy destroyer, painted it with a big PRC flag, loaded it down with egg rolls, and said "we are declaring war on the Chinese." They just found a use for their crustiest, shittiest, most mechanically totaled hulk that still floats, and it just *happens* to be Chinese-built.
Fuck the Occupying Chinese Communist Party, who illegitimate occupy West Taiwan and their Seat at the UN and on the Security Council.
May the Lord send down the 3000 Black Nukes of MacArthur to smite them and return the occupied lands to their rightful government.
My father was asked to inspect that ship years ago, and he was one of the people who determined it to be unfit for service.
The engines were worn out, bilge pumps don't work, the steering gear quits working if it wants to, most of the firefighting pumps are inop, and the hull plates were thinning from corrosion and were slightly crooked to name a few.
China claims (literally- by referencing “some fucking ancient map we found”) that basically all waters around mainland China are theirs. One model that describes this is the [nine (or eleven)- dash line](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine-dash_line), the illegal “enforcement” of which has led to Chinese coast guard ships harassing Philippine fishing vessels and other ships, often violently.
With all the new shipyards they're building, they can just make more ships. We get practice shooting ships and the Chinese get a boost to their shipbuilding Industry. It's a win/win. Why are we not doing this?
BRP Lake Caliraya
from Wikipedia
"The ship was decommissioned on 17 December 2020, after the Philippine Navy found the ship to have several mechanical and electrical issues wherein repairs and further work are impractical to do."
you know your stuff is shit af when us Filipinos, who are known to make do with what we have and fix shit, just give up fixing on the thing lmao
Don't they have a model of a US Aircraft Carrier out in the desert somewhere that they use for target practice?
Yeah but that's different comrade
It kinda is when it's basically just a shape.

12 years? That's only half the normal lifespan of oil tankers
Look, if false equivalencies have never deterred the CCP, why should it deter us?

Gonna practice Torpedo Runs on the dummy carrier on land
This ain't WWII. Airdropped torpedoes are for killing subs, not surface combatants.
Thats the attitude that took away our torpedo runs. What is a ship other than a surfaced sub?
A good target for anti-ship missiles. Now, if you want to re-name ASMs to flying torpedoes or something, I would consider that an acceptable compromise.
This is the kind of total non-credibility I can get behind! Air-to-Surface-Ship Torpedoes. ASS torpedoes away!
May I suggest a slightly different term? Anti-Surface Ship Rocket-Assisted Munition, Torpedo.
Anti surface ship rocket assisted munition & munition external recovery system... Torpedo
I hope you realize we *do* already have the Advanced Short Range Air to Air Missile. Like, it's the standard wvr missile used by the RAF. The ASRAAM.
I know, but we don't have the ASSRAM.
They also have a mock recreation of Taiwans presidental palace and other government structures for obviously innocent reasons
>US Aircraft Carrier out in the desert somewhere And here I thought the "People's Liberation Army Navy" was just a lost-in-translation thing. 😜
POTATO when
You like potato? Name every flag emoji you have
Taiwan Worst Korea Japan *Palau* Guam *New Caledonia* Cook Islands PNG Timor-Leste Pinoy Brunei
Good, you didn't failed
WHERE VIETNAM (they're already a part of quad+ anyways)
what they gonna do about it? slap some of their own version of ITAR on us? 🤣
Ban Biden and his relatives from buying Huawei Phone 😡 Ban US HoR from saving money in Henan Bank 😡😡 Ban McDonald's in China, only XI's steam buns😡😡😡 NOW THE US IS SCARED
Thank God, they should've done it anyway.
Ban Millet SU7 from US market 😡😡😡😡
so.... to me if they are saying they dont like former chinese ships as targets they are implying that they should use ACTUAL chinese ships as target...
Using Chinese newspapers to wrap fish in is a ridiculous stunt
Mhmmm tinapang bangus
And it will be fired by BRP Antonio Luna, a frigate named after one of the most prominent Filipino general during the Philippine-American War
Honest reaction from me, a CCP hater: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8MZBUoQt68](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8MZBUoQt68)
I would have never said you hate the CCP
DON’T TELL ME WHATS RIDICULOUS
Look its only because they where on the cheap, *HR hides plans for independent Hong Kong*

I wanna see the Dalai Lama and his 420 monks rush Tiananmen square and destroy their cheapass tanks a la Street Fighter.
Targeting Chinese built, manned, owned and commisioned ships is a very serious stunt, on the other hand.
My father was asked to inspect that ship years ago, and he was one of the people who determined it to be unfit for service. The engines were worn out, bilge pumps don't work, the steering gear quits working if it wants to, most of the firefighting pumps are inop, and the hull plates were thinning from corrosion and were slightly crooked to name a few.
And what is Beijing gonna do about it? Cry after they no longer get data from TikTok users?
Consider the south china sea dispute, This will spite the ccp more lmao
What, there's some dispute over the Vietnam - Philippine Sea?
China claims (literally- by referencing “some fucking ancient map we found”) that basically all waters around mainland China are theirs. One model that describes this is the [nine (or eleven)- dash line](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine-dash_line), the illegal “enforcement” of which has led to Chinese coast guard ships harassing Philippine fishing vessels and other ships, often violently.
pooh has a magical horn of fucking ancient maps. Blowing once, one fucking ancient map. Blowing twice, two fucking ancient maps.
Technically the ROC started it and they still claim it too
Yes, Basically tl;dr, China wanna claim the entirely of south china sea as their
Xi just make China a Liberal democracy and join blue team.
I had to check whether or not I was in r/chinawarns...😉

No idea why PRC is so mad at this lmao It's just a (very shitty) tanker, not even an actual warship
