The Pentagon is accusing a Chinese fighter jet pilot of performing an unnecessarily aggressive

maneuver during the intercept of an American plane last week over the South China Sea in international

airspace. The Defense Department says the pilot flew directly in front of the nose of the RC-135

forcing the US aircraft to fly through its wake turbulence.

Yeah, I think it was 400 feet. I mean, it was crazy close for the speed that they're going.

And yeah, the video, if you haven't seen it, of our plane bouncing around from going through

the turbulence, but that's a very provocative thing. Oh, yeah, for a Chinese pilot to do,

and nobody thinks that that was like, you know, a rogue pilot going off on their own.

No, there's no such thing in the Chinese military. So they're extremely top down.

So what's the point? Just to see how you'd react? Or I've never quite understood what this

stuff, how this stuff works. Yeah, always press, always probe for weakness, always put the finger

in the chest, showing we're not intimidated by you. Plus they want to close off airspace and

navigational waters for hundreds of miles around China and declare that they're territory.

I get that, but do they think our reaction will be, oh, you got off well close to us,

we'll give you more space. Because obviously that's not what we're going to do.

Yeah, I don't know. I guess it's just the tough guy stance. I'll kick your ass. I will kick your ass.

Wow. Okay, fine. It's pathetic, isn't it?

God dang it. I'm not looking forward to the US-China war. I wonder what's going to happen.

Next year or 20 years from now, I don't know. Well, it got to step closer to the other day.

Is Armstrong and Getty open the China cabinet?

Don't trust China. China.

Yeah.
