Mattis Accuses Beijing of ‘Intimidation and Coercion’ in South China Sea https://t.co/4ROkZv4LJf— The New York Times (@nytimes) June 2, 2018
What? You're wondering if Mattis is surprised? Or you're wondering whether you're surprised yourself? Or the question mark is a slip?— Post-Impressionist Liberal (@Yastreblyansky) June 2, 2018
The question mark is an illiteracy. You don't have to try to figure out what he means by it.
If you're surprised, you shouldn't be, they've been putting the Spratlys thing together since 2014 https://t.co/SGTdFBjgWq. They claimed ownership of the whole region in 2009 and militarized from there. https://t.co/BiTvFyDaQU— Post-Impressionist Liberal (@Yastreblyansky) June 2, 2018

And come to think of it why are you surprised now by something that was reported on May 2? https://t.co/6FseDf50N5 … (I know the answer to that one--when Mattis told you you weren't paying attention, and Fox News didn't report it till today.)— Post-Impressionist Liberal (@Yastreblyansky) June 2, 2018
