Asked later whether the task force would cross the Taiwan Strait on its way to its next stop in Manila, Shulz told reporters that to telegraph the ships’ plans would violate operational security.

While the U.S. and other countries have sent warships through the narrow strait in recent weeks, it would be the German navy’s first such passage since 2002.

Last month Germany joined the U.S.-led United Nations Command (UNC) in South Korea that helps police the heavily fortified border with North Korea and has committed to defend the South in the event of a war.

    Nah, just wondering if I should give you the benefit of the doubt or if you are as stupid as you seem.

    You and people like you who act out like Don Quixote against nothings are part of the reason why the left still has not yet achieved what it needs to do to win. Are you feeling proud of heroically attacking the Powers That Be by … trying to insult a combination of geographical terms? What’s next, fighting against the capitalistic naming of Eurasia?

    How about a useful use of your time? How about going on the street and fighting against exploitation of the poor? How about organising unions and strengthening the power of the unprivileged? How about helping people on the internet be better persons instead?
