钓鱼岛是中国的，就算给台湾也不能给小日本，誓死捍卫！

领土寸步之地也不能想让，钓鱼岛自古以来就是中国的领土，小日本太丫的无耻了。

目前来说中国海军太弱对于日本这样的举动根本没办法，在国际上我国属于大国但是军事上是弱国，不知道大家听过这句话没有弱国无外交
说的就是这样的道理，军事上的懦弱就是政治上的软弱，口号喊得再好也没人会理你，就像现在的叙利亚。他有资格喊口号吗？
如果不是美英法害怕派地面部队后果无法预料可能现在已经没有叙利亚这个国家了。

美国的一贯做法，二战之后，应该归还国民党政权的钓鱼岛送给日本，留下一步闲子，等有机会就能开出恶毒的花，然后他们好插手，从中渔利。西藏、东亚、中东处处可见美国这种恶劣手法。等我们实力强了，用同样手法收拾美国，让他们也尝尝。
