I am stunned at the near mindless and robotic sliming of the U.S..
Zero objectivity. Zero balance.
Any argument supporting the U.S. is met with Neocon extremist labels. Outright shills? Just fear dominated cowards?
It is almost beyond any reasonable explanation.

and back on topic creating an island does not grant them sovereignty and by extension no territorial waters nor sovereign airspace. The provocation is coming from the Chinese who is ignoring UNCLOS.
Do everyone a favor and quit posing legal arguments, US lost legal credibility a long time ago. China isn't flying nuclear strike aircraft over US "claimed" territory.
But if they do, I'm sure you'll be the first to complain.

And who said the B52 they flew over the island was carrying a nuke…

In this case illegal and wrong are one in the same. Surely even you must see that.

We're just flying some planes around not touching anyone or hurting anything.
Thats what I would expect the military to snicker.
Not just "some planes"…

It's pretty much a requirement to join ATS at this point:
1. Blame America

Seriously
China is crying like a little girl. We're just flying some planes around not touching anyone or hurting anything.
They act like they can't fly planes around, too. There's lots of space in the sky for both countries to fly some planes.
It's like if I came over to your house and put my chair on the sidewalk outside your house. I then claim that it's my sidewalk and you can't drive or walk anywhere near it. If you even look at my sidewalk, we're going to have some problems. MINE.
Seriously. The Chinese are children. Hopefully Trump will straighten them out.

Post WW2, it was the US and Great Britain that redrew countries boundaries all over the world.
Just look at the Middle East to determine the mess made by drawing lines on a map. The plight of the Kurds is just one example.
