"China has deployed surface-to-air missile launchers on an island in the South China Sea, satellite images appear to show, dramatically upping the stakes in a territorial dispute involving the US and its regional allies.
Tensions in the South China Sea, a vital shipping route, could rise after two batteries of eight missile launchers and a radar system were deployed to Woody Island in the past week, according to images taken by the private company ImageSat International.
The images were first published by Fox News. The Chinese foreign minister, Wang Yi, did not deny that missile launchers had been installed but said the reports were an attempt by certain western media to create news stories.
“As for the limited and necessary self-defence facilities China has built on islands and reefs stationed by Chinese personnel, that is consistent with the self-defence and self-preservation China is entitled to under international law,” he said."
What they are not saying in the various stories is that Russia is supplying a LOT of the technology in those missiles,
The whole Idea is to force a confrontation in the Pacific to draw eyes away from Europe and the Middle East.
Just watch and wait for it.

Cuban Missile Crisis- War Avoided - Backstory
From Old NFO we find about a US Air Force B-52 Crew doing their job.
"On that breezy, sunny October day, I was one of the pilots in the lead B-52 of the two aircraft formation which had received the command message while on alert to launch our aircraft, proceed to our airborne orbit points off the boundary of the Soviet Union, and wait for the execution message to strike the heartland of Russia. We were not the only strike aircraft launching. Alert aircraft in pairs from almost every SAC combat base in the United States were scrambling to get airborne and to precede to their strike orbit points. Our mission was somewhat different because our course would take us in the vicinity of Cuba. We were directed to vector our course so as to fly over the Russian ships off the coast of Cuba and to report our sightings to SAC headquarters."
