The ghostwritten post on Palin's website links to this article on the conservative Daily Caller:
The U.S. Navy challenged China’s vast claims to the South China Sea on Thursday, Navy officials revealed.
The U.S. Navy conducted the third freedom-of-navigation operation under President Donald Trump in the South China Sea on Thursday. The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS John McCain (DDG-56) sailed within 12 nautical miles of Mischief Reef in the Spratly Island chain, according to Fox News.
A Navy P-8 reconnaissance and surveillance aircraft reportedly flew nearby.
Now these intermittent challenges to other countries by each other's military are fairly common, as demonstrated here in Alaska by Russian jets entering our air defense zone repeatedly over the last forty years or so.
Typically there is a little chest pounding, some diplomatic reminders of boundaries and sovereignty and everybody goes about their business.
But things are a little different right now.
For one thing we have an unhinged commander-in-chief who is not only comparing penis size with North Korea, but also bitching that China is not helping to keep them under control.
Apparently it is Donald Trump's goal during his stay in the White House to alienate every country he possibly can before leaving office.
Except for Russia of course, because THEY are Donald Trump's only true friend.
That is why they gifted him with an election victory.

I am very disappointed in China. Our foolish past leaders have allowed them to make hundreds of billions of dollars a year in trade, yet...— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 29, 2017
You know, when you are trying to convince another country to aid you with a potentially dangerous adversary it does not seem to be in your best interests to troll them with your military....they do NOTHING for us with North Korea, just talk. We will no longer allow this to continue. China could easily solve this problem!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 29, 2017
