Bomb the shit out of them. If a few miss and get N Korea, too, then no big deal.

Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.

No, I don't think so. The Chinese have been very vocal about their displeasure with the US operating near their artificial islands either in the air or on the sea; I think this has far more to do with that than anything Trump has said.

Nah, China is just being their typical belligerent selves. We simply dont hear about it in North America but every time I'm in Japan, there is some news story about conflict between the two on the evening/morning news about some stupid naval issue.

Did Trump send this unmanned drone to the South China Sea?

I'm assuming the OP is making reference to Trump talking to the Tiawanese President recently.

I think this is just China being China and asserting itself in the South China Sea. I don't think this particular incident can be tied back to Trump.

Whew! I'm expecting Trump to be blamed for the Polar Vortex that is currently freezing over 50% of the US. We all know it's Bush's fault.

Or just another dig at Barry. One more punch before the ref steps in.

Seems like the response should be, "24 hours to bring it back or we start blowing shit up."

Did you know he killed Harambee too? Why would Trump be such a gorillarist?

"President-elect Donald Trump reacted to the news by telling them he doesn’t want it back. “We should tell China that we don’t want the drone they stole back.- let them keep it!” he tweeted Saturday evening."

This one was probably made in Massachusetts. It was probably a Slocum glider made by Teledyne. We use them all over the world to try to get data on currents, thermoclines, etc. Really useful info for military and non-military applications.

I know you were joking, so no need to point it out.

I'm surprised you have a sense of humour (CDN spelling.:-) But to me, a guy is as good as his last post.

No I'd say we're more like the climate which is made up of many single weather events.
