I heard you the first time.

They called it "highly provocative" (i.e. actions of aggressors) and sailed their warboats around as a show of force (basically "arranged for missile launches"). The parallels are pretty damn clear, even if the US's response was obscured with mealy mouthed politicking.

Retired military person called it provocative. Not the military.

"Retired" is just code for plausible deniability.

Lol. Maybe in authoritarian China. In the US that's just a sound byte of no influence.
