 Reuters: Japan says suspected Chinese submarine seen near territorial waters

Japan's navy on Friday morning identified a submerged vessel sailing northwest just outside territorial waters near Amami Oshima island, part of Kagoshima prefecture, the ministry said in a statement. 

A Chinese destroyer was also spotted in the vicinity.

We don't have to worry about the Chinese. We won't have any soldiers to fight back. Democrats are locking them all up on bogus charges.

Travis County DA Jose Garza wants to lock up an army sergeant working two jobs. When a police detective opined that it was justifiable homicide in his professional opinion, the DA sicced internal affairs on the detective. The reason being that if the detective did not change his opinion than it would be hard for the DA to get a scalp.
