China Humiliates Obama One Last Time by Stealing Navy Drone

I'm being optimistic here when I say one last time because China still might have enough time to hack all our remaining national defense secrets or pour a bucket of slops on Obama's head.

Some of the serial humiliations inflicted by China have thus far involved...

1. The OPM hack of 22 million government employees and a whole lot of people involved with the government

2. Theft of a huge chunk of our defense secrets

And, what Obama probably cared more about,

China’s leaders have been accused of delivering a calculated diplomatic snub to Barack Obama after the US president was denied a red-carpet welcome during his chaotic arrival in Hangzhou ahead of the start of the G20.

Chinese authorities have rolled out the red carpet for leaders including India’s prime minister Narendra Modi, Russian president Vladimir Putin, South Korean president Park Geun-hye, Brazil’s president Michel Temer and British prime minister Theresa May, who touched down on Sunday morning. 

But the leader of the world’s largest economy, who is on his final tour of Asia, was forced to disembark from Air Force One through a little-used exit in the plane’s belly after no rolling staircase was provided when he landed in the eastern Chinese city on Saturday afternoon.

When Obama did find his way onto the tarmac, there were heated altercations between US and Chinese officials, with one Chinese official caught on video shouting: “This is our country! This is our airport!”

But just to get one last dig in under the terrifying reign of SmartPower, the Chinese stole a Navy drone.

A Chinese Navy ship stole an American underwater research drone while a U.S. crew was watching, in a South China Sea area contested by the Chinese and the Philippines, U.S. defense officials told Fox News on Friday.

The incident occurred around noon Thursday local time approximately 40 miles west of the Philippines and about 150 miles from Scarborough Shoal. For days, the Chinese ship had been shadowing the American ship USNS Bowditch, which deployed the drone, a Slocum Glider.

"This is an act of war against the United States," Gordon Chang, analyst and author of "The Coming Collapse of China," told Fox News' "Happening Now." He said the move was an act of war because U.S. military property was stolen.

So was the Hainan Island incident. Not to mention Iran's capture and abuse of US personnel. But they know that they can get away with it.
