US plane pumped Chinese plane, without intention to knock it down, but playing none the less, otherwise foolish, as the second fighter plane is more than adequate to bring the spy plane down

Regardless of who caused the contact, the U.S. commander made the wrong decision landing in Chinese territory. He should have:

a) Tried to make it elsewhere (after all, they were in the South China sea not the middle of the Pacific ocean). If the Chinese fighter then chose to shoot the plane down.... well I guess we would have a different mess today.

b) If they couldn't make it elsewhere the pilot should have ditched in the water.

Enjoy your posts. Have a good trip to Thailand - have many friends there - need to get back soon for some good food and drink.

p.s. - Do you know who won the Sevens rugby in HK this year?
