(CNN)A US oceanographic vessel Thursday had its underwater drone stolen by a Chinese warship literally right in front of the eyes of the American crew, a US defense official told CNN Friday. In the latest encounter in international waters in the South China Sea region, the USNS Bowditch was sailing about 100 miles off the port at Subic Bay when the incident occurred, according to the official.

Bowditch had stopped in the water to pick up two underwater drones. At that point a Chinese naval ship that had been shadowing the Bowditch put a small boat into the water. That small boat came up alongside and the Chinese crew took one of the drones.

Yeah, well, they won’t get away with that! I’ll bet Barack Obama is preparing a strongly worded letter at this very moment!

I was looking at a Reuters tweet that is getting a lot of back-and-forth. The commies (stateside commies that is) are blaming Trump’s phone call of course. Trumpsters in that little tweet battle aren’t quite sharp enough to note that our military assets around the world are still Obama’s responsibility.

They know they can do such and get away with it cause they know our little jive ass little boy isn’t going to do squat about it.
Only surprised the Chi-Coms haven’t invaded Taiwan to take it back under this punks rule knowing we would saty out of it.
