US massive military embarrassment by China

If it wasn't so scary it would actually be funny.
And Northrop Grumman want to shift focus from ships to robotics lol
Surely this little incident had to have changed some minds into wandering off in that direction.
This is what spending for the bogus "War on Terror" got us and that misdirection just slapped our Military right in the kisser.
Whose "bad" now?
Coz, it sure ain't us!
Now think about the missile that was deployed over the pacific that our Military denies the happening of.
You better believe that was China's little calling card, to say they were in town!
The thing is, that missle could have been pointed "in" rather than "out".
Now how much of a joke is Homeland Security? And what exactly is it that they can secure?


When the U.S. Navy deploys a battle fleet on exercises, it takes the security of its aircraft carriers very seriously indeed.
At least a dozen warships provide a physical guard while the technical wizardry of the world's only military superpower offers an invisible shield to detect and deter any intruders.
That is the theory. Or, rather, was the theory

The lone Chinese vessel slipped past at least a dozen other American warships which were supposed to protect the carrier from hostile aircraft or submarines.
And the rest of the costly defensive screen, which usually includes at least two U.S. submarines, was also apparently unable to detect it.
According to the Nato source, the encounter has forced a serious re-think of American and Nato naval strategy as commanders reconsider the level of threat from potentially hostile Chinese submarines.
It also led to tense diplomatic exchanges, with shaken American diplomats demanding to know why the submarine was "shadowing" the U.S. fleet while Beijing pleaded ignorance and dismissed the affair as coincidence.
