Absolutely nothing.  Except, I suppose, he could have released a statement about the situation that didn't sound like a 5th grader whose little sister took their crayon.

Whether you think he will be a good president or not, you gotta admit that the guy is entertaining as hell!

Agreed.  I said he should be on television.

BTW - Chinese subs aren't that hard to find.

I don't know about that, one of them snuck up and got into attack position on the USS Ronald Reagan Carrier last year.

But hey, I see you didn't read the full post. The 4th word says "AMERICAN analysts" so it wasn't just the Chinese saying that.

Also, I don't always believe what other countries say, but I don't always believe what our country says either. The truth is usually lies somewhere in between.

Depends on what we want to accomplish. If we want to hurt China, then probably will need more.
What I find most amusing, is that you have no idea what Trump's Cabinet is actually going to do, but you act like you do.

So you're impressed with what China did? I'm not. It was a ***** move and they know it. And we all know how Donald treats *****. Wonder if they'll play these little games once Donald is in office, for now they know they can get away with it, cause the only thing Obama is going to say is "cut it out".

Doesn't sound like it did a good job of sneaking, eh.

How do you know the Chinese sub snuck up on the Ronald Reagan?

Am I reading this wrong, or did Uncle Ronnie once have a clandestine homoerotic oriental experience?

That was J. Edgar Hoover dressed as a geisha when Reagan was the president of the communist Screen Actors Guild.

What is China to make of a Commander in Chief who tweets like an angry middle schooler?

So according to you, Carson will be automatically be a failure?

I think Carson will be just fine here.

[Sociopathicsteelerfan]

An easy solution to this, and other petty games China plays, is to charge them a rental fee of $10 million a day until the drone was returned.  Take it right out of the debt you bought from us.  It's impossible for them to prevent.

What qualifications are required for the position?

Education, training, and experience in public works, community planning, banking, finance, economics, mortgage brokerage, real estate and real estate development, possible even civil engineering would all be helpful I would imagine.
