China 1-ups Obama’s B-52 flights across their Senkaku ‘air-defense’ zone
Last night the Chinese announced, after overflight of their recently announced air defense zone by a pair of American B-52’s, that this zone, over the Senkaku Islands, would now therefore be PATROLLED by fighter and other aircraft.
Other aircraft being airborne early warning and control radar craft.
China’s is second from the top.
Are we happy now that Israel did NOT sell their Phalcon AEW systems to China?
The appearance of such craft, in fact, is a message that the approach on any other nation’s planes will be detectable from far enough away to be opposed. They also declare the aircraft will be on ‘high alert’
If the Chinese are serious, there is real trouble.
We SHOULD challenge by opposed,protected overflights, controlled from our own AWACS. That is international airspace.
Would China do this if they had NOT decided that at some point Obama WOULD back away? Would they have formed that opinion without the Libyan nonintervention intervention lead from behind, Benghazi, Syria’s red line no red line, the deal with Iran, their success penetrating NATO with their own air defense sales? Why would they not think this might be the moment to make clear the tiger is, if not paper, tired of it all, and would rather cede geography than be next to allies of long standing?
Should we stand with Japan? Do we need them? Should we fight, if not a war, then a series of potentially MAJOR ENGAGEMENTS OF THE OLD SCHOOL for and with them? The Chinese have decided we will not, and therefore Obama will find a way to back down with discussions while they maintain their grip via, ‘harmless’ but firm ‘defensive’ patrols of their ‘own airspace’.
If Obama will NOT back down, then THIS is how wars start.
Miscalculation at civilizational level. And let me tell you, with all the problems Obama has right now, the Chinese may be handing him an issue he will NOT back down from.
I wonder if they have a clue?
