Most of you know my feelings about the failures of the current President. A small part of me gained a little respect for him for this "in your face" move but the part that dosn't trust him makes me wonder what he's up to. Opinions ? The U.S. Flew B-52s Through China's New 'Air Defense Zone'

It's called, "poking the bear", "smacking the hornets nests", "messing with Sasquatch".
Does that help?

lol thanks.. Any guesses as to why he's doing this ? I will admit I think it was a needed move. The Chinese have decided to see what they can get away with and a strong response was the only sensible option.

But but... what will we ever do if the Chinese get mad & stop sending stuff to Walmart ? We would have to re-open all the vacant US factories, yank people off welfare and put them to work making stuff, etc. Hell if it happens soon it might even stop those 120 Sears & K-Mart stores from closing that are scheduled to shut the doors..... Nah.. Oblamer ain't that smart.

If ya want to send China back 60 years just bomb their infrastructure. They don't have the capacity to wage an intercontinental war.
This was a favor asked by Japan. So now China knows who their friends aren't.
I wouldn't worry. Marshall McCluan (sp) book The Medium is the Message ( actually the soft cover of the book said The Medium is the Massage) said almost 50 years ago, that future wars were too expensive for Nations and wars would be fought in the back yards of the world. So far he's been right.

So by past example we should be prepared for China and the USA to find a good backyard to fight in. Ya know, like boys on the playground, let them get it out of their systems. The message (massage) was to let China know Japan isn't alone.
Now, what's missing in all this is no one asked us if we are willing to die for this noble cause. To fight over a dispute of who owns these islands.
No surprise, we're are never asked. We haven't had a noble war in 70 years. Solders have, politicians haven't.

my bet is ( watch for the upcoming thread) that he sent the planes to pick up more chinese troops for the us invasion
