They can claim anything they want but that does not change the fact that their actions require us to respond appropiately.

What would be an appropriate response?

Draw a red line in the waves? Steal some China military stuff? Bomb a rice field? Complaine but do nothing?
Go play some golf over Christmas Vacation?

Im not complaining nor do i know enough about the details to determine what an appropiate response is.

Did we respond? How so? I dont know so i make no judgement on it.

Without knowing anything about the device I'm at a loss for reasons to really give a crap. If a Chinese drone was floating around the Gulf of Mexico we'd probably pick it up too.

Meh.

We played this game for nearly 5 decades with the U.S.S.R.

Now we'll play it with China.

The only war that may occur might be a trade war. (looking more & more possible with the recent election)

During the Cold War we had 70,000 more factories and millions of skilled workers to run those factories

Now the factories are in china and mexico and our workers are unemployed

So beating china will not be as easy

It will be a one sided war. They hold a lot of our debt we could refuse to pay. [although Japan now holds the most]

Well yeah, but if we start messing around in those terms there goes the value of the dollar.

China & Russia have been really egging for creating a trans-nation reserve currency to knock-ff the USD. Let's not help them along that route ...

Under maritime law, it is a "vessel". It's more interesting that it is US property, and not "foundation" or "private" property. That would be piracy, this is much more serious because it is US government property.

But at the end of the day, they are "punking" Obama.

China steals a machine and its world war III; Russia screws with the US election and its crickets. The first item is a diplomatic incident; the latter is an act of war.... but, once again, our Con friends have no sense of equivalence.
 
No one is going to war. And you'll get to have your very own "birther" experience. It's a win-win!

We don't know if Russia hacked the dnc emails or not

We have only obamas word for that

Still waiting for credible evidence

But we know that china brazenly stole something of great value belonging to the US

The only reason they dared is because we have a sissy president who can be pushed around by other world leaders
