Point is, the US basically needlessly escalate things or rather place themselves in situations where things often escalate. It’s almost like they WANT to go to war. Like for example docking military asset so close to enemy territory where if anything happens it would be very hard for them to deny it, even if the incident is not their fault.
Like the US constantly sailing ships in the Taiwan strait. If there were some kind of accident you know 99% chance the US will blame it on China and the public will demand war. I know the US is trying to make a point to make China not escalate things, but this could very well escalate out of control.
