The US has lodged a formal protest with Beijing after a Chinese fighter jet conducted a barrel roll "very, very close" over an American Navy plane this week, the Pentagon has said.
Rear Admiral John Kirby said the Chinese plane exposed its undercarriage to show that it was armed to the P-8 anti-submarine warfare aircraft during Monday's incident in international airspace near Japan.
He said the Chinese aircraft came within 30ft (9 metres) of the American plane, while the wing tips of the two aircraft were just 20ft apart.

Now, if we had a president with a set, he would warn the Chicoms that the next time that happened they might loose a top gun.
HOWEVER, ain’t gona happen with our current prez ... he will send a strongly worded letter of protest and give the Chicoms another reason to challenge us.

Yep, they know who their *itch is.
We earned it, fair and square.
Be nice to have a conservative in the White House, and not a Dem or a GOP-E type.

meanwhile Russian bombers can come close to California and zip low over our ships and nothing happens.
They are just pushing us around because Obama is such a chump

If an American pilot did that he’d probably be grounded, and hounded out of the service. Every ounce of joy has to be pounded out of all Americans.
