China Scrambles Fighter Jet, Flies Within 50 Meters Of Japanese Airplanes
Yesterday we showed how Russia and China hold "massive" naval drills in the northern part of the East China Sea (close enough to Japan for us to footnote "ahem Japan and Taiwan"), which in addition to a clear signal to the US (on part of Russia), was sending just as clear a message to Japan (on the part of China). Sure enough, overnight Japan was not too happy with this massive show of force by the two biggest and closest foes near its disputed territory. As a result it dispatched an OP-3C surveillance plane and a YS-11EB electronic intelligence aircraft. China promptly retaliated and as Reuters reports, it scrambled a Su-27, fully-armed with missiles, which came as close as 50 meters of the Japanese fighters - the closest Chinese warplanes had come to aircraft of Japan's Self-Defense Force according to Japan - in what can only be described as "please take the first punch."

More from Reuters:
Japan and China on Sunday accused each other's air forces of dangerous behavior over the East China Sea, with Japan saying Chinese aircraft had come within a few dozen meters of its warplanes.
Japan was not happy:
Japan's defense minister accused Beijing of going "over the top" in its approach to disputed territory. China's defense ministry said Japanese planes had carried out "dangerous" actions during its joint maritime exercises with Russia.
Japan's defense ministry said Chinese SU-27 fighters came as close as 50 meters (170 feet) to a Japanese OP-3C surveillance plane near disputed islets on Saturday and within 30 meters of a YS-11EB electronic intelligence aircraft.
"Closing in while flying normally over the high seas is impossible," Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera told reporters in comments broadcast on TV Asahi.
"This is a close encounter that is outright over the top."
Onodera said Japan conveyed its concerns to the Chinese side through diplomatic channels. He also said the Chinese planes were carrying missiles.
A ministry official said it was the closest Chinese warplanes had come to aircraft of Japan's Self-Defense Force.
China was not happy either:
China's defense ministry said jets were scrambled in the East China Sea on Saturday after Japanese aircraft entered its air defense zone during maritime exercises with Russia.
The ministry said the Japanese aircraft had entered the zone despite "no fly" notices being issued ahead of the exercises. China declared its air defense zone last year despite protests by Japan and the United States.
"Japanese military planes intruded on the exercise's airspace without permission and carried out dangerous actions, in a serious violation of international laws and standards, which could have easily caused a misunderstanding and even led to a mid-air accident," the statement said.
China had proposed urgent talks, it said, and demanded that Japan "respect the lawful rights of China's and Russia's navies ... and stop all reconnaissance and interference activities. Otherwise Japan will bear any and all consequences from this".
Clearly China is not willing to take the next major, and lethal, step in the escalation of nationlistic tensions between the two nations. But if Japan is provoked to do it, well, so be it.

I think it is safe to call Japan JUSA from now on.
It really explains everything, including the headliner, that can be re-framed to say something like:
American Proxy in the pacific scrambles...etc.
Or, American Proxy in the Pacific helped the dollar by slaughtering the Dollar Proxy.
JUSA! JUSA! JUSA!

No Jap fighters involved. They "scrambled" unarmed twin engine turbo prop surveillance planes.
That was just some Chinese "Maverick" keeping up foreign relations
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJvefSTyiho
There are no Japanese fighters. There are only JUSA (USA Pacific Proxy) fighters.
And turbo-props too, but you get the drift.
This is not a Sino Japanese conflict. This is a Proxy USA/Sino conflict.
The shots are being called from Cheyenne Mountain, you can count your bottom yen on that.
Japan+Germany are occupied nations. Troop levels are:
Country Total Japan 50,631And
Germany 40,328This is beyond question, both occupied territories.
Proxy wars, labels mean little to nothing.
Believe nothing.
Surveillance planes during naval exercises are pretty common. Approaching within 50 meters with armed attack aircraft is not. Easy to be a tough guy with unarmed surveillance craft.
While China's navy presents no real threat, as it is a coastal force only, I imagine the Russians were the point of the surveillance. However, since China seems to want to provoke the entire area, some form of aggression has been determined by the Committee of 300. So, sit back and enjoy your attempts at painting one nation as a bad guy- take your pick. Then realize you are just another pawn of the Elites.
The killer Panda itching to snap like a bamboo twig these hyper inflating diaper wearers.
The Panda mated with a Bear and is ready for more action.
The mating will produce progeny.
What those progeny will look like can only be speculation at this point.
I say they will not be friendly bears when it comes to the EU/USSA.
Joel Skousen has taken the position that this mating will lead to woar with the west.
I'm siding with him moar and moar as this mating gets fleshed out.

Sure, because all these countries aren't run by the same people. They need soldiers for war, because they sure as hell won't fight it themselves. Stay home. Peace dividends for all.

That SU-27 Sure is a pretty plane :)
Cool & Lethal !
Would be taken out before it knew what hit it..., just saying.
Beautiful.
Killer Pandas? Is that like a youth soccer team? The Chinese haven't killed anything but their own people and Nepalese. Repulsed by tiny Vietnem. Maybe if they have a tank and a citizen to run over?
Ooooooh! Chinese tyrants are so much cooler! Troll often?
Don't forget the Indians and Tibetans.
Or the Mongols
It wouldn't be the first time there was a mid-air collision between a Chinese fighter and a surveillance aircraft.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hainan_Island_incident
"Approaching within 50 meters with armed attack aircraft is not. "
Umm... Yes it is common, or at least it was. During the 60's when the Bears would fly along the East coast, F-4 crews on intercept would sometimes bring along Playboy magazines and fly close enough the Russian crews could see the centerfold very clearly.
This was a bog-standard ELINT mission. Get close enough to get them to light up, then record it. Standard response as well.
150 meters on an intercept is nothing serious, unless you're a diplomat.
The USA is also an occupied territory. The international banking cabal got its foot in the door in 1913. It frowns upon competition, especially that which is beyond its jurisdiction.
.
I don't believe you.
well good for you replacement....precisely....
You are right, the axis powers were defanged after WW-II and remain in a toothless state ever since.
The Chinese people are over anxious to bloody Japans lip after what the Japanese did to China in the 1930s. The Chinese are holding back, luring them in, there will be war.
I agree. Popular opinion in China would love to bitch slap Japan and it's arrogant populace for their crimes in China in the 1930's and 40's.
Cut the "Jap" remark. Thanks.
Way too many shit storms to keep track of. This is getting really scary...and I am not being sarcastic. You have the Mexican Cartels threatening Texas, then you have the 22 year old Virgin Killing the blonde sluts as he put it....all the way through to which country is going to throw the first punch. This is way worse then the cold war days. Back then...only 1 so called enemy (Fake) . Now it is the entire world (Real).
The drug wars in Mexico are producing body counts equal to a major war. But the US and Mexican governments ignore it on the whole and allow the ocean of drugs to keep flowing into the USA. Why they and the media choose to keep this major war out of media coverage and off the political agenda, is something I can't answer. But it seems the war is spilling over into American territory. While America spends it's money, 5 billion, on Ukraine, and other billions on funding the Al-Qaeda operations in the Middle East, they seem to care little for the blood bath on our borders. In fact, they leave the door wide open so that in a generation the parts of the USA in border areas will resemble Mexico more than the USA, and the drug wars and gang wars will come with the new majority populations.
Obama is in charge..., what did you expect?
Right.. cuz none of this shit was happening before that particular clown puppet got to plant his cheeks on the presidential throne.

Russia-China gas deal could ignite a shift in global trading | via @Telegraph http://fw.to/wIKHipR
If Russia and China now decide to drop dollar energy pricing totally, America’s reserve currency status could unravel fast, seriously undermining the US Treasury market and causing a world of pain for the West. This won’t happen tomorrow or next year. It’s unlikely even by 2020. But by announcing this deal, Russia and China turned the screw half a twist more.
Commodity currencies the new black, yo. China-Russia-Iran propose trade deals demoninated in local currencies indexed against food, fuel. How long before this reverts to what Marx-Ricardo referred to as the "money commodity" (gold) to simplify transactions within, among currencies?
Speculating. I have no idea. None of what is happening now makes sense to me. Why anyone abroad would want to accept USDs baffles me on its face.
Well, I can tell you why our OPEC satrapies keep demanding USD - cuz the US if the only thing keeping their 'leaders' in clover midst restive populations.
Wishful thinking.
Game theory suggests anything but a gradual decline in the
value/use of of the USD in trade settlement.
The rest of the pieces are in full motion for an alternate,
possibly this year,certainly next year, even without some
unforeseen catalyst causing it before 2015.
Indeed, it's pretty amazing how many buttons China has pressed over the last few weeks. They are keeping the US occupied on the financial, military, and cyber espionage fronts. I really do think the FED could keep things propped up for another year or so since they pretty much control the markets, but the external pressure will create unforeseen breaches in the dike.
China clearly means swift (and SWIFT-less) business.
TPTB need just a false flag action, and the WW3 which is a way for debt clearing will start.
I hope for 2 things:
-the Japanese and Chinese leaders are cool heads and are wary of false flags;
-the US$ which is main source of The PTB's power will be sinked within a month.
Are you speaking as an oracle there?
Sure hope so. :-)
What good will sinking USD do? If it"s sinked, it will be replaced by SDR"s. The game stays the same...
"In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happened, you can bet it was planned that way."
U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt
http://www.globalistagenda.org/quotes.htm
If the USD sinks, so will other international currencies. Why would we use a basket of collapsed currencies?
Lone:
Excellent point.

For the same reason you are using a currency that loses it's value while you are breaking your back to earn it..

Lucky Japanese.
Had the Chinese wanted that sleek Japanese technology, they would have rammed the aircraft and forced it to land.
Via Wiki
"On April 1, 2001, the Hainan Island incident occurred when a mid-air collision between a United States Navy EP-3E ARIES II signals intelligence aircraft and a People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) J-8II interceptor fighter jet resulted in an international dispute between the United States of America and the People's Republic of China."
Personally, I thought the US pilots should have been executed for landing in Chinese territory and gifting them the aircraft and all it's gee-whiz technology.
Rafter:
By the time the plane landed, the self-destruct sequences in the high-tech equipment had run their course.
That's why the pilots and crew got medals.

I hear you, man. That first message can't be overstated.
So far, so good, said the free-faller at floor 13 of a 20 story drop, or something like that.
Hey, but forget the nuclear part. All we need is precision guided story telling about how morally superior we are for some reason to combat Putin, right?
U.S. needs a strong moral narrative to combat PutinWhat do you think? Personally I think we're doomed and deservedly so but reasonable people can disagree.
That Wash Post piece is hilariously hypocritical, it accuses Putin of propaganda while its own drips from the page.
.
Well that's certainly a change of pace. It's usually not hilarious.
They are correct that we DO need a stong moral narrative. The problem is that we do not have one and unless Putin does something absolutely stupid we will not have one.
The U.S. has no moral or ethical narrative to tell.
The populace has been sold out to China and the banks/corporations/insurers.
The Constitution is being trampled and the STASI police state installed with the help of the armed forces (N.S.A.).
We're against "terrorists" but we fund them in Syria and Libya if it suits the needs of the oil/gas industry initiatives.
We're against "oligarchs" unless of course they are that crony capitalist Warren Buffet or the politically connected savings vaporizing crook Jon Corzine and his accomplice Jamie Dimon.
We're all about "liberty" and "freedom" unless of course it gets in the way of the corporatocracy of industry and the kleptocrats of .gov colluding to oppress the citizenry.
We're all for "Democracy" as long as those seeking it agree to wear the shackles of the kleptoligarchy.
There are lots of good people in the U.S.A., they just aren't in positions of leadership or power.
It's not the falling that hurts but the stopping.
I need another bag of popcorn. The suspense is killing me.
50 fucking meters? Get inverted mav and tell goose to get a polaroid
That would be cool....
Again "the first casualty of war is the truth."
Trying to proclaim "China obviously would never would start such a thing" flies in the face (so to speak) that those aircraft were loaded and ready to fire.
"Looking for a fight, find a fight." Move along....
I get this mental image of a dimlly lit bunker conference room redolent of Kubric's Dr. Strangelove where a group of U.S. elites who had been sitting on the edges of their seats all throw up their hands at once in disappointment as a large screen depicts in real time the Chinese SU pulls away without releasing ordnance.
DAMN IT WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET THE WAR WE KEEP TRYING TO START?
This kind of news report makes me wonder if the Chinese leadership is losing control of the military. It just seems such a pointless and stupid thing to do politically -- It's excessively aggressive and does not produce any political benefit. This news reminds me of an incident last year where a Chinese warship locked its weapon-targeting radar on a Japanese warship. It almost seems like the Chinese military wants to cause an incident so that it can start a war.
Mine:
The goal here is to reassert the Chinese Air Defense Zone - which takes in almost all of the East and South China seas.
If you wanted to make sure the castrated Western powers take note, go "over the top" - instead of just another common event "jet tracks surveilence aircraft" operation. It reinforces the idea that the castrated West is powerless to do anything about it.
Annnnnnd - This is a great opportunity for the naval exercises to practice on live targets.
But most important, it makes a statement about the Chinese Air Defense Zone - which you have noticed is treated as such by every nation in the world when it comes to commercial traffic.
With the exception of one noted fly-through by the US with unarmed planes, nobody has challenged it militarily with armed aircraft.

Rejected Brat Goes on Killing Spree Because Girls Didn’t Like HimJapan have 50 nuclear reactor spread across their island. If China decided to attack them in a desesperate move, do the Japanese understand that the whole island will have to be evacuated? Yes it would constitute a war crime, but the damage would be done forever. Pretty much no more Japan for the next centuries.
China has currently 21 reactors and their territory is way bigger. So it is less of a problem, but still a serious threat.
War between those 2 country would be madness.
I think this is the way it has been planned.

Kissinger referred pointedly to military men as "dumb, stupid animals to be used" as pawns for foreign policy.
READ it over and over again until it sinks in. Thats what TPTB think of the easliy duped military. Why a military man hasn't capped his ass is beyond me?
I'll assure you feeling's mutual wth Kissenger. Ahem " we are paying for" ...Duped fucks? You should say "Semper Fi" every time you pump a gallon of $6 gas for $3.75. You get ROI.
You should say "Semper Fi" every time you pump a gallon of $6 gas for $3.75. You get ROI.
100% accurate.
Maybe that's the real purpose of the military, huh?
While the IRS sticks it's filthy paws in moony's pocket for the other $10 a gallon it takes to support global military occupation..............so you pay $13.75 for $6.00 gas. Clearly. Modern "semper fuck" Redistributionist ROI.

War makes little kids happy.
You do understand that the true ultimate purpose of a military is to protect you, right? You think you can get so far off the "grid" you'ld miss an invasion? You fuckin' guys.
No - I think it's our job to protect the millitary.
All for the glory of the homeland.

http://www.joebageant.com/joe/2010/01/when-did-america.html
"You do understand that the true ultimate purpose of a military is to protect you, right?"
This sort of thinking is neoconic self-fulfilling fallacy. We need protection from shit we start ourselves - its that simple. If we ceased our bs worshipful devotion of israel just 20 years ago, this world would be so peaceful your head would spin. Thats IF our fucked up govt desired sustainable peace, which they do not.
Yes, pass a spritzer you've figured it all out. Anyone pro USA is a Neocon.(sarc). Every banker's a Jew(sarc). The $1.5bil we spend per annum on Israel is the WHOLE problem(sarc). How about the political fucking class is only 7% former military?
To know war is to want peace.
Its not the money per say. Its the unwavering support, the ridiculous fawning by our elected officials in congress who trip over themselves to make sure they're on record supporting israel because thats where the bread is being buttered for many politicians. Of course we need a military that should be capable of defending our country, and that industry creates jobs, but america has to be selective about what crisis it gets involved in, or more succinctly, what crisis it starts
You do understand that the true ultimate purpose of a military is to protect you, right? You think you can get so far off the "grid" you'ld miss an invasion? You fuckin' guys.
What if these guys are the invasion? You will be crying bitchass tears instead of "Moonstears" but then again you probably will be one of the fuckers selling people out....at which point the war will come to the matresses.
Then your politicians will protect you.(sarc)
Do the math dickhead. How many cops plus military to average joe?
"In 2008, federal police employed approx. 120,000 full-time law enforcement officers, authorized to make arrests and carry firearms in the United States."
1,369,532 Active Personnel in the American Military
850,880 Reserve Personnel currently.
Let's do the math: Adding in 250,000 extra for posterity, the current number of state and local police plus our military and the precluded quarter million for ATF etc....2,590,412 within the matrix thinking that all of them would remain in the fascist ranks for your assumed civil war here in America. They would have to take on 73,270,043 males, age 18–49 (2010 est.) and 71,941,969 females, age 18–49 (2010 est.) who make up "fighting age. That number comes to 145,212,012 give or take....The answer to your question if the numbers were to hold assuming the military would have access to full force and no dissenters going home to protect their families is 56 to 1. I believe it would actually be closer to about 100 to 1 as to how outnumbered they would be because you know there would be a helluva a lot of former military in their 50s-60s who angry as fuck at this .gov seeing as the treatment rendered by such orgs as the VA. Flat out, it would be a fucking slaughter and they know it so they slowly move the needle to anesthetize the populace through bread and circus. This is why you will never see a civil war. It would be fucking suicide.

I'd say they are severely outnumbered.
What's in your matress?
So you are affirming my point. The military is America loyal. Some of you bitchez, I'm doubting. Enjoy Russia? Then go there, fuck, we don't care.

( Re: my own statement: It sounds informative and dumb at the same time. )
Ominous last line..."Unlike real war, noboby dies, and the good guys always win".
If you were to take a good look around the world, you would find it almost entirely at peace, people enjoying life, working, playing and spending sunday with family. The disturbances are few and far between. This is the reality of life and how people seek to live.
The incursions are man made creations of a few thousand psychopathic demons placed into power, because we lack the will or attention to detail to rule ourselves. In an attempt to escape responsibility, we thrust slavery upon ourselves and our children. We willingly give our sons and daughters to the military to be killed, wounded and mentally scarred for life.
Why are we so easily mislead and fooled? Because of the propaganda of media? Is everyone that stupid?
BBQ at Bill's house? Or war in the south china sea? Tough decision. Champions league match? Or the killing of Ukranian neighbors? Some one has to pick up the gun and fire. Someone has to be convinced to murder. That someone is YOU. When the yous of the world stop fighting, people stop dying and go back to the BBQ and futbol match. Is it really that difficult of a choice?

Go back to GLP. The adults are here.
When it happens, war is almost always a surprise. Then in retrospect, it is always so obvious that it was coming.
So, things look pretty obvious to me, right now. Given the state of the world, and the incompetence of TPTB, how can war not happen soon?
Note China's language ".... in a serious violation of international laws and standards, which could have easily caused a misunderstanding and even led to a mid-air accident."
Accident?
This is like WWF/WWE wrestling.
Where are the stealth drones?
It is interesting to note that the USA is considering their economiz zone 200 N.miles ( 370 km ) from any landmass of their teritory, and 350 N.miles ( 648 km) as their seabed territory.... In that light, the differences in the South China Sea are about the status of the outer islands over there.
Perhaps they just wanted to exchange recipes. You know, shitty shuisi vs. shitty wok.
You can bet that traitor 0bama made a deal with the Chinese. That means Japan is on its own.
Japan has been the 51st state since 1945. Pay attention.
Remember Nanking
Remeber Mao.
This is just plain fucking stupid moves.
I think the Chinese leaders are really morons of the century. They don't have the balls to confront military jets and they are trying to terrorize the civilians.
Fucking stupids.
Russia is going to be the place to move to for the next 30 years.
Don't put it past Obama to start a war to distract people for the mid-terms upcoming. You heard it here first.
The most striking aspect of this starts with the picture. It looks like an exact clone of the venerable F-14 (or one of our jets) and I understand that the Chinese have stolen the schematics down to the last detaill and composition of out latest fighter jet the joint strike fighter. Politicians, bankers, miltary industrial complex all part of one toxic stew.
I used to favor an all voluntary military, but I don't now, old Rummey's comment that a volunteer military wouldn't ad "value" to the military not withstanding.
We need a mandatory military 2 -3 year service commitment by all people, no exceptions, no excuses, for the sole purpose of making sure that all the Bankers and elitests's kids get thrown into the fire and run the risk of getting killed by our own weapons, to make sure the politicians guard our military secrets more carefully, and to keep the military from being a poor man's army, used as cannon fodder for the elites schemes to make more money.
I don't want good kids to die taking care of dipshits who never had to fend for themselves in any manner. Besides they still won't have to serve...
You can't wave, HI! unless they see you.
Must be that time of century again. Nearly every first quarter, the same shit. Tiresome.
Scramble two F-16s out of Galena!
How fucking weak-minded are the Chinese to be carrying an 80 year old grudge against the Japanese while their beloved Mao killed over 50 million Chinese "grandfathers and grandmothers"?
It's really not that simple. Believe it or not, relations between the countries WERE getting better. At it's lowest according to polls, the amount of Chinese who had a negative opinion of Japan was, a few years ago, around 60 some percent. The Pew poll 2002 showed the Japanese who had a negative opinion of China was only 45 percent. Nowadays, the recent polls show the numbers on both sides to be in the 90s. And the increases coincide quite nicely with the esculating tensions over the Senkaku and other militarization efforts on both sides. Bringing up the past is really more of an excuse than a genuine grudge.
And cue William Banzai clever popart making fun of China's airforce in 3.2.1.

The JSDF Aircraft were allegedly shadowing the RUS/CHN Naval Exercises. I don't know how close the planes flew by the Exercise Area; but if it's the usual "unauthorized flyover" done a la "Cold War" style, then Interceptors sticking close to them is expected.
Disputed Territory is also an issue here, so someone's going to have to send Fighter Escorts along next time around. I'm sure Uncle Sam might take on the Role to Provoke and Walk the Territory for "Freedom".
Cynical? Yes. Considering the recent "Territorial Claim Expansions" by CHN in the South China Sea and beyond (that effectively cover almost all SE Asian ocean trade routes east of Singa Pura save possibly for the SGP-AUS/NZL routes), the rest of us may have to stand firm.
