US Carriers Told to Comply with China's New Zone
2013-11-30
(Ay-Pee)The United States advised U.S. carriers to comply with ChinaÂ’s demand that it be told of any flights passing through its new maritime air defense zone over the East China Sea, an area where Beijing said it launched two fighter planes to investigate a dozen American and Japanese reconnaissance and military flights.
Sigh. How low can we go?

#11  Mike - "It'd be our fault?" You are absolutely wrong. We are Americans and we do not live on our knees. All this does is telegraph weakness.

#10  let them know we consider it a free air and sea area and that actions against our forces and commercial carriers will be met with military and economic (refute all debts) forces. I can dream, right?

#6  Why not bumbling, stumbling, inexperienced, incompetent traitors?

#5  Mike, I agree with you on this call, but I'm bothered (to put it mildly) by the fact that we're playing war games with the Chinese with this gang of incompetents traitors at the helm.

Fixed it for you.

#3  ...I'm not fond of defending this Administration, but this was the right thing to do. It's one thing to play games with a B-52, but if a 767 goes through there with no notice and some Shanghai Top Gun decides its an imperialist spy plane, then it's our fault because 'we didn't warn them'. This was the right call to make.
