What a desperate, provocative and falling empire !


According to the US Department of Defense, two Chinese military aircraft intercepted a US military reconnaissance plane over the South China Sea in an “unsafe” manner this Tuesday.

According to DoD spokeswoman Lieutenant Colonel Michelle Baldanza, a US reconnaissance aircraft was flying in a "routine patrol" in international airspace on May 17 when "two tactical aircraft from the People's Republic of China" intercepted the plane.

In traditional rhetoric, the DoD labeled the intercept "unsafe and unprofessional," a commonplace code-phrase used when a US military plane or ship encounters a foreign military plane at a distance of less than 50 feet.

Spokeswoman Baldanza noted in a written statement that, "Over the past year, DoD has seen improvements in PRC actions, flying in a safe and professional manner."

The incident is currently under investigation by US Pacific Command.


The incident took place over the South China Sea, a hotly-contested region through which roughly $5 trillion in trade passes annually by ship. It is almost entirely claimed by China, although portions of the sea are claimed by other countries, including the Philippines, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, and Vietnam.

China has repeatedly claimed that the US is "militarizing" the South China Sea. Determined to enforce the "freedom of navigation" principle of international maritime law, the US military, along with allied forces from Australia and other countries, have established military naval and air patrols in the region.

Trouble sleep, yanga go wake am.....

They should just fight already.

From the Black Sea to the Straits of Hormuz to the Baltic Sea to the South China Sea; what do they all have in common?

The usual Amerikan lies. Conduct your routine patrols in California & New York

What did America lose that she is now looking for all over the world?I am very sure they must have lost something they are trying to retrieve or how can one explain this her level of poke-nosing into other people's affair?

Why didn't USA talk about Falkland island claimed by Britain but owned by Argentina. How can they claim a territory that is about 3000miles from Britain. So, they should forget their stupid international law
