China steals Navy drone, duh.

Well, maybe if you had painted it, oh, I don't know...CAMO??? Instead of bright yellow. I'm just sayin'.
The only time the military paints something yellow, or international orange, or red...is when they are saying "nothing to see here", or "pick me! pick me"!!!

Its really not a "military" drone per se. Its a hydrographic sensor platform. The USNS Bowditch, which was operating it, is civilian crewed.

Since it's unmanned it would be easy enough for them to claim it was in peril and claim rights of salvage on it, though they still do have to return it they can try to claim a reward

A bottle of Scotch was rewarded for its return. I drank some at Harveys in DC.

I don't think you understand how "civilian" ships doing "scientific research" in a foreign domain works. [LOL]

I'll reserve comment about our national leadership until he isn't my boss anymore.

Hopefully the Lien in the Water he drew gets China's attention.
