No doubt those B-52’s had a squadron of F-22’s escorting them.

What he wants is something to take the attention off Obamacare and if a few thousand Americans soldiers, sailors and airmen have to die, so be it.

LOL. I just went back and re-scanned the article again....

"The planes flew out of Guam and entered the new Chinese Air Defense Identification Zone at about 7 p.m. Washington time Monday, according to a U.S. official.

I will pass that on to Dale. He likes to hear about fans.

Saw a maximum effort B-52 sortie at March AFB once in the 70’s. Very impressive.

Obama had no motivation to throw the Japanese under the bus. There are no jews in Japan.

What a testament to the designers and builders of an aircraft when it pays for itself 10 times over. The F/A-18 is another stroke of genius as well as the F-16 and AV-8B Harrier Jumpjet.

Interestingly, the B-52 has a tendency to pitch its nose lower than it's tail. I love the SCREEEEEEEEEAM of a B-52 in flight!!!

I was responding to your aircraft carrier graphic using the FR meme of “Thailand?”

“Go out and try to find certain things not made in China.”

No kidding. If you’re lucky to find anything (non-food items) after spending all day and a tank of gas, the markup is usually outrageous.

Uh-oh. I hope we won’t have another incident in which our aircraft is “bumped” out of the air and the crew is held hostage while they study the craft’s technology.

Well, I guess, under the Soros Administration, the Chicoms will not need to force the plane down to get all of the secrets, as President Jarrett will give them to the Chicoms willingly.

Obama’s challange to the Chinese i ssymbolic. Iran’s multi-megaton H-bombs WON’T be, however.

No kidding. If you’re lucky to find anything MADE IN THE USA (non-food items) after spending all day and a tank of gas, the markup is usually outrageous. -— IMO goods made in Pakistan, Mexico, Vietnam, Bangladesh, India etc. are just as evil as those from China considering the US unemployment rate.

This makes no sense unless our first historic muslim ruler is becoming really unhinged. By doing this, he is implying that the US will support a historic ally. When has he done this before? He has always appeased China, so now why poke a finger in their eye now?

Another jabberwocky event.
