1. Just do it already! They’ve been sitting there waiting and thinking about doing it for weeks now. 

2. Fuck the ccp

3. Emden 2.0 killspree, let’s go bitcheeeeeeeees

4. This was a foregone conclusion. Asking for permission from Beijing basically means spitting in the faces of all their allies who state the strait is an international waterway.

5. I wonder what the music of choice was this time around.

6. Leeroyyyy Jenkins!!!!

7. Rub it in Xi’s face. China does not “own” Taiwan Strait and can’t do nothing to prevent freedom of navigation unless it want to go to war with the West.

8. Please tell me they are playing the “Imperial March” on the loud speakers as they transit.

9. What a great nation Taiwan is!

   There should be an international parade of ships large and small through there. No country is too small to represent. You hear me Togo?

10. According to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung it’s a frigate, Baden-Württemberg, likely accompanied by a support ship, Frankfurt am Main.

11. Sure hope they will play the Imperial March.

12. Man East Taiwan is throwing a hissy fit

13. Good, call their bluff. China won’t do anything about it. They’re a paper tiger.

14. Lets see them ram this warship.
