Business Insider: US B-52 bombers tore through the South China Sea in a power play ahead of a sit-down between the US and Chinese defense chiefs
* Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis and his Chinese counterpart Gen. Wei Fenghe, the Chinese defense minister, met Thursday to discuss a number of issues, particularly their disputes in the South China Sea.
* Two days prior, two US Air Force B-52 bombers flew through the contested area, sending a message about America's determination to continue naval freedom-of-navigation operations and aerial overflights in areas the US considers international.
* The flight comes just a few weeks after a showdown between a Chinese destroyer and a US Navy warship near the Spratly Islands.
Two US bombers tore through the hotly-contested South China Sea Tuesday, an apparent power play signaling US determination to continue to fly and sail wherever international law allows ahead of a key meeting between US and Chinese defense chiefs Thursday.
A pair of Guam-based US Air Force B-52H Stratofortress heavy long-range bombers "participated in a routine training mission in the vicinity of the South China Sea," Pacific Air Forces told CNN in a statement, adding that the flights were in support of US Indo-Pacific Command's Continuous Bomber Presence, a mission focused on deterring regional challengers.

The Navy has trouble with basic navigation. I'm not aware of this with the Air Force. When you run your armed forces into the ground trying to carry out fruitless missions around the world that not only don't advance American interests but actually undermine them in many cases this sort of thing is to be expected.
We need renegotiate our trade arrangements with China. Does this stunt help, hinder, or is it indifferent. I would say this stunt hinders,us.
Who ordered It? Who authorized It? Fire these people immediately.

A++ Poster does not know what a freedom of navigation exercise is.
Or maybe he does, but simply does not care.
We do not need to renegotiate anything with China. When time is up, we can just bar imports from China.
Why B Poster wants so badly th negotiate with The Middle Kingdom (That is right the Middle Kingdom as in the center of the universe.), when 11 million or so Uighurs are made to wear yellow starts on their sleeves tells a person a lot about his ethos.
Leftists (or Leftshits) always allege that whitey is Eurocentric. Seems as though those uncouth one do not know about other cultures all that much.
Sorry but you're wrong .. no one should be fired ...this is about reminding China that if they don't help us with north Korea and trade, we might not respect their wish to subdue the free people of Taiwan - which we wouldn't want anyways.
What A said, who Thought of it needs to be commended. China does not own the area and needs a reminder.
Early voting started in Nevada -- lets vote those lefties, who want to form mobs to intimidate us, OUT!! OUT!
