Chinese Land Fighter Jet on Carrier

CNN is reporting that the Chinese have reported the successful landing of a fighter jet on refurbished Soviet style aircraft carrier. This does not bode well.

The foreign policy void that is being created by the reluctance/inability of the current administration is going to be filled and it would appear that the Chinese have designs on that role.

And Obama wants to nominate Rice for SOS and Kerry for SOD

Great.

Now let's see them do it at night with a loaded deck, under all weather conditions, tactically.

I guess you have to crawl first though.

As I have personally witnessed numerous times, you can "Land" many things in/on "Places" that you can't get them out of!!!

Due to the fact that they're obviously still in the crawl stage, I'm really not concerned about this at all. If they want to land planes on old Soviet rust buckets, by all means. I'm sure that our Naval fleet would love the opportunity to get into a fight with that carrier.

That would be the Navy we are downsizing.
