Timing Is Everything: The Chinese know that Barack Obama won't do anything...

DRUDGE REPORT: Chinese Navy blatantly steals USA underwater drone in international waters in front of US Navy

Admiral Bull Halsey is rolling in his grave.

Rather than worrying about the Russians, President Obama might focus on what the Chinese are doing...

Hot Air: China steals US drone

RedState: Streiff says this is about Trump In part, but just in part. Do you think China would have done this after January 20th? They are not sure how Trump would react as CIC. The Chinese however know Obama will be weak.  So they can respond to the Taiwan phone call with little risk Obama will do anything substantively about it.

Two North Korean submarines have gone missing...

This started off at typical NoKo saber rattling, but it is starting to escalate into something far more serious...

NoKo is again threating nuclear attack on the United States.  Drudge has a bunch of links.

While we would like to think this is just NoKo trying to shake out some monetary concessions out of the West (and that may be what is going on) it could quickly get out of control.  But hey, given how competent the Obama Administration has been in the past in dealing with breaking crisis, such as Benghazi, what could go wrong?

Update:
Glenn Reynolds has this link on why U.S. airpower freaks the NoKos out.  And it should, it has awesome capabilities.  We should be at least gravely concerned by the NoKo low technology.  Because while crude, and probably exaggerated, it will probably work to cause some significant damage and death (and of course the danger of nuclear escalation only becomes higher).  And while this scenerio of China being a big winner in the event of full war is false, it is safe to say their would be no real winners if the NoKos went full out (and the biggest losers would be the Korean people, north and south).
