Yes I understand what you are saying but isn't that what they are trying to do?
Provoke us to the point we are the aggressor? I.E. somehow make us look like the bad guys. If we are in international waters and not violating any maritime agreements /laws/ protocol why else would they try this maneuver? I can only imagine the fire power on our ships would be enough one could not even find their pieces afterwards. Surely they can't be that naive.
