"So there’s no rational justification for a Freedom of Navigation (FON) program. For all practical purposes, these aircraft carriers like the Ronald Reagan and the Nimitz showboating on and off in the South China Sea amount to 21st century gunboat diplomacy. And Beijing is not impressed."

We have allies that are facing a very aggressive China, we are obligated to help them defend themselves. Is it worth risking WWIII? Well appeasement made Hitler more bold and China is definitely a fascist government now. The U.S. could have stopped Hitler without a world war? Probably.

This is another article that seems to be very slanted in its perspective. The U.S. has conducted freedom of navigation exercises many times and in many places around the world for decades. And it has done so not for "imperialist" reasons but for security reasons, not only for us but for many other nations around the world who do not have the same military might and cannot maintain open shipping lanes for themselves without us. China does not own the South China Sea, and they have no right to try to take control of it so that they can eventually hold hostage what are crucial trade routes for many countries.
