"Today we are strengthening U.S. policy in a vital, contentious part of that region — the #SouthChinaSea. We are making clear: #Beijing’s claims to offshore resources across most of the South China Sea are completely unlawful, as is its campaign of bullying to control them."
"In the #SouthChinaSea, we seek to preserve peace and stability, uphold #freedom of the #seas in a manner consistent with international #law, maintain the unimpeded flow of #commerce, and oppose any attempt to use coercion or force to settle disputes."

#IStandWithColVindman Today Col. Vindman resigned his commission because no one in the @USArmy or the @thejointstaff had the "balls" to stand up to a draft dodger installed by Vladimir Putin. As children we learned to tell the truth because it mattered especially if you came
from a WWI, WWII and Korean War Family of Service if you didn't learn it then you damn well learned it in service. Lt Col Vindman was denied his rightful promotion because he did the right thing. There should be NO vet and I mean NO #Marines #Navy #Army #CoastGuard #AirForce that
stand with this Hitler wannabe, in a few months we have a choice do we end up like Turkey, Poland, Saudi or worse China or Russia. That is what Vladimir Putin is attempting to do with a willing coward who is ignorant, incompetent and a coward.
All Americans deserve the same opportunities, privileges, and freedoms. On a day where we celebrate #America, I’m equally torn between pride and guilt. And just returning from a @USCG deployment to land-locked #NavajoNation, I’m still grasping to find the right words...

At the request of Navajo Nation’s government, FEMA mobilized to support the #COVID19 response on the ground. More resources were needed and agencies – including the #CoastGuard – were asked to help. And I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to answer that call. 2/
My eyes are now wide open to the fact that the basic rights and privileges extended to most American citizens are not enjoyed equally by all. And in an era where we’re working to stop an invisible enemy like COVID-19, all Americans deserve an equal chance at survival. 3/

“Andrew Erickson, a maritime militia expert @NavalWarCollege, recently called for the US to “deal with China’s sea forces holistically” & state clearly that it expected China’s #Navy, #CoastGuard & #MaritimeMilitia to follow international rules.” ft.com/content/ab4b16… #PAFMM
“He added that the US had to ‘accept some friction and force Beijing to choose between de-escalating — the preferred US outcome — or to move up against a US red line that China would prefer to avoid’.” amp.ft.com/content/ab4b16…
"The US navy has been conducting FONOPS..sends warships through disputed waters to prevent a claimant from denying others access in violation of int'l law. Analysts have long pushed for a more effective US response to counter China’s mix of mil, paramil & econ coercive measures."
Last February, USCGC Diligence, aided in seizing over $190 Million dollars in pure cocaine. Not bad for a ship nearly 60 years old.
