AT, our bird has a max speed under
300 mph and isn't stressed for any
g's. China's F-8 is capable of
1000 mph plus, is stressed for several
g's and is exceptionally maneuverable.

Bottom line is that China's pilot screwed
the pooch. He was probably buzzing our
bird and miscalculated.

Our military makes mistakes all the time,
it's human nature, but this wasn't one of
them.

GUNS AND BUTTER. Communist China SLAVE LABOR DOLLARS finance Military Build Up toward IRANIAN AND BAKU OIL FIELDS. Communist China's one child policy promotes infanticide of baby girls, they want sons for heirs, and that creates a larger military force for the PEOPLE LIBERATION ARMY PLA pointing right towards the oil rich fields along the Aral Sea, Caspian Sea and Black Sea, the richest grade of oil in the World, which is needed for military purposes. This is why they consolidate in the western province of Sinkiang, and why they took over Tibet, why they provide arms to Pakistan and Iraq and Syria and Iran, in order to replace AND PLACE themselves in the sphere of influence previously occupied by Russia all the way back to the "GREAT GAME" age of British Imperial expansion in India and the Middle East. The biggest mistake the US has made was the closing out of Clarke Air Force Base and other bases in the Philippines, and downsizing our military protection for South Korea and Japan, and even considering not to give Taiwain, the free REPUBLIC OF CHINA, the necessary means to defend itself such as the Aegis naval missile defense system, which incidentally the Taiwainese are willing to pay BIG DOLLARS TO THE US for this system. The only political Truth the Communist adhere to is Mao Tse Tun's words "POLITICS COME OUT OF GUN BARREL". The $100 Billion dollars of Trade that Communist China supplies to the US only with its Communist Slave Labor working for 12 cents an hour, is money that is being used for the sole purpose of pushing the US out of the pacific, to annex and take over our allies and firends, and eventually will be money used to commit to a World Thermonuclear War against the US and Europe. Do not forget that the Chinese Communist begged the Russians to allow they PLA to attack and retreat and attack and retreat to lure the US and UN army in the Korean war across the Yaloo River deep into China where the Chinese wanted the Soviet Union to then drop nuclear bombs on our army INSIDE CHINA completely destroying it (and solving China's overpoopulation problem at the same time). This is the warped, ungodly, purely aethistic, cruel, brutal, anti-human, anti-individual, mentality of the Communist Party in China that is holding our hostages. And American companies like QCOM, Ratheon, Motorola and the rest were and are stupid enough to do business there? You can not trust a Communist and you can not do business with or in a nation you can not trust, THE US CAN WILL NEVER BENEFIT FROM TRADE WITH COMMUNIST CHINA. Communist China is a slave trade MONOPOLY and like all monopolies should be broken up, like the Soviet Union, and it would be if we stopped all trade. This is what anyone reading this must tell their Union friends, the Teamsters and Longshoremen could start the Boycott against China which is robbing the US of jobs, and capital that we need to invest in this country and Latin America. Incidentally, the President of China is in Latin America, why?....To start trade agreements to prevent the US from obtaining the cheaper (But not Slave Labor) from our neighbors instead of from China. To start addicting South American countries military procurement into the nonstandardized Communist Chinese military equipment so thatthey can turn on and off the Military preparedness of our neighbors, all to bolster that other failed and failing regime, Fidel Castro's Cuba, cuban influence in Latin America to again undermine US and Free People's intersts in Latin America. BOYCOTT AND TAKE A HARD LINE AGAINST CHINA. Revoke PNTR (Permanent Normailzed Trade Relations, most favored nation trade status) and entry in the WTO for Communist China. Give an ultimatum of 72 hours demanding the release of our hostages and airmen and women from the EP3E ARies plane that was harrassed, attacked and knocked out of the sky by an inept, Chinese MIG fighter pilot, who could not or would not get out of the way of theis large cumbersome plane as it slowly turned around to go home. Next time, we should escort these planes, and shoot the MIGS ight out of the air if they come within 20 miles of our planes. SHOOT FIRST ASK QUESTIONS LATER.
