Looks like the entire world knows how weak our leadership is and they are doing as they please. It ought to be interesting to see what Obama does here, I am guessing another round of golf.

U.S. surveillance images reportedly show that China has positioned weaponry on at least one of the artificial islands it is developing in the South China Sea, apparently confirming suspicions that Beijing has been building up the area for military use.
The Wall Street Journal (http://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-surveillance-on-island-reveals-chinese-arms-1432864632), citing U.S. officials, reported that images taken about a month ago showed two Chinese motorized artillery pieces on one of the artificial reefs. Although the weaponry would not pose a threat to U.S. planes or ships, it could potentially reach neighboring islands, the officials told the paper.
