Chinese War Planes Test Run Attack on US Carrier

 About a decade ago I had lunch with a dude who has a top clearance for a military contractor.  He told me then that even though all eyes were on the middle east that the next major war was going to start in the South China Sea.  

As you know China has been dredging up the sea floor and piling it all in one place until an "island" emerges.  They then cover the "island" in cement and stick a Chinese flag on it and say, "Stay away from our territory or we will consider it an act of war!"

Of course this is illegal.  But who do you suppose enforces international law in matters like this?  France?  Brazil?  Germany?  Nope.  You guessed it.  America!

So we fly our planes and sail our carriers through the South China Sea on a regular basis to PROVE that dredging up sea floor doesn't change the map, shipping lanes or flight lanes one single degree.

On Jan. 23, Chinese bombers and fighter jets simulated an attack on the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) aircraft carrier as the Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group entered the contested South China Sea.

Eight Chinese H-6K bombers and four J-16 fighter jets appeared to practice an attack on the aircraft carrier, the Financial Times initially reported based on the accounts of officials familiar with intelligence surrounding the simulated attack. U.S. Indo-Pacific Command spokesperson Capt. Mike Kafka later confirmed the reported attack in a statement to Business Insider on Friday.

“The Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group closely monitored all People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) and Air Force (PLAAF) activity, and at no time did they pose a threat to US Navy ships, aircraft, or Sailors,” Kafka said.

Kafka went on to say, “The PLA activities highlighted here, are the latest in a string of aggressive and destabilizing actions.”

The Financial Times reported the Chinese H-6 bomber pilots were heard, in intercepted radio transmissions, confirming orders to simulate targeting and releasing anti-ship missiles against the U.S. aircraft carrier.

Kafka said, “These actions reflect a continued PLA attempt to use its military as a tool to intimidate or coerce those operating in international waters and airspace, to include their neighbors and those with competing territorial claims,” adding the “United States will continue to fly, sail and operate wherever international law allows, demonstrating resolve through our operational presence throughout the region.”

Does it seem like bad news is coming at us 24 hours per day?  Yes it does!  But here is a better way to look at it all so you don't spill your cocoa all over your PJ's....it's not 'bad' news!  It's simply "interesting" news!  As Bible readers we read the news every day and read our Bible's even more and say, "So cool!  All of this is shaping up EXACTLY as God said it would!"  And then go about your day filled with the JOY OF THE LORD!

Now let's go in peace and serve the Lord!
