CIA Connected Plane Lands In Taiwan

Spuntik: CIA-Connected Plane Spotted Landing on Taiwan Just Days After USAF Aircraft Delivered Parcel 

The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has long relied upon civilian-appearing charter planes to keep its operations hidden, such as its clandestine support for UNITA during the Angolan Civil War and, more recently, operations against Al-Shabaab in Somalia. 

On Monday, a second US aircraft likely owned by the CIA landed on Taiwan, just days after a US Air Force aircraft did the same, drawing condemnation from Beijing. 

Such bold moves, which China regards as territorial violations, have become increasingly common in recent years.

WNU Editor: China is not only issuing warnings that this should not happen .... US military aircraft landing on Taiwan a provocation, must not become routine: experts (Global Times), but they are also hinting that they would shoot down these aircraft if they enter Taiwan airspace again ....

Keep doing it. Otherwise its a de facto ADIZ exclusion zone. Routine landings on Taiwan, routine incursions into the South China sea and routine transits of the Taiwan Strait.

(and figure out a way to liquefy/sink those Chinese sand islands that harass China's neighbors, straddle international ship lanes and threaten US bases)

It's probably just a harmless snacks delivery. The Taiwanese were craving for some tasty B61s. I guess with proper lead shielding to not show up on satellite, that plane could bring 8 or so.

Taiwan and Mainland should NOT be united, while the CCP exists. Plebiscites should be held on both sides of the straight. If a plebiscite fails people, should not be dunned with every year with a new plebiscite like the crackers at the EU did.

"A man convinced against his will Is of the same opinion still" - Dale Carnegie

The CCP is the biggest foreign threat to the US and people everywhere. Domestically, the Democrats are the biggest threat to the American people.

The CIA, their political appointed bosses, the politicians in DC or the press are literal morons.

As Afghanistan ramps down; Taiwan ramps up. It is almost as if they can only keep their eye on one ball. The military can be spread out all over the world and win or hold. Hold Afghanistan, but never win against the regional power Pakistan because of the lack of will, declarations and good ROE. Maybe it is more of the press. Maybe planes have always showed up, but with a little less frequently before now and the press never ballyhooed it. It seems as though foreign policy-wise they can only keep their eye on one ball.

BP can GTH.

"Unfortunately, we would not be able to detect it from space solely based on the radiation readings, because: background radiation in space would be higher inverse root law of energy level versus distance means that it will have to be rather big and leaky bomb before we would be detect it from 200 miles or up"


Maybe we have been visited by aliens?

"radiological alarm is a special sensor aboard a battlestar and its fighters or other Colonial support vessel that detects the unique and powerful radiation signature of a nuclear device, particularly that of a nuclear weapon such as a missile. On Galactica, any radiation detection and corresponding alarms appear to be tied into the central communications console at the Communications Officer's station in the Combat Information Center[1]. It is likely that the detector is tuned to detect the nuclear radiation emitted by the fissile material in nuclear weapons used by Cylon fighters and basestars."
