I didn't think this would be to big of a story when I first saw it but the markets didn't like it.

Trump will be forced to call a bluff eventually if he is going to take on China in a trade war.

China Seizes US Underwater Drone

We should just impose tariffs to cover the cost of the things they steal or break. Even if it only comes out to a fraction of a cent tariff, we should still get refunded for stolen gear.

On a small-enough scale, the market always looks like it's in freefall or ballistic launch.
Dow is down 4 points today. Out of nearly 20,000. ZeroHedge is the ultimate market panic-monkey.

Re: China Seizes US Underwater Drone
Yes well, but...
1. The US does or would do the same thing to China.
2. This has happened under Obama. Obama needlessly and dangerously antagonizes China. A country the US should be at peace with, instead of playing world policeman.
3. The US is imperialistic and neo-colonialist, and needlessly meddles in the legitimate Chinese sphere of influence.
Everything bad that happens in the world clearly has America in particular, and the West in general, as its ground zero. China spies and China sabotages, but hey! So do you, so you can't complain or else that's hypocritical. And it absolutely matters that it's seen as hypocritical. Why? Well... because it feels that way! And don't ask why, only Marxist racists ask why.

1. No we do not.
2. They were doing oceanographic research.
3. You are such an SJW.

Civilian crewed oceanographic survey vessel with freedom of navigation by international waters conducting water salinity tests with a commercial off the shelf UUV? No, the Americans would not interfere with that, don't be silly.
I mean, good lord, the Americans have invited actual Chinese warships to RIMPAC at Pearl Harbor, the Americans are not scared of the PLAN at all, they can take them anytime they have to, but no reason to be overly belligerent about it; relaxed in the saddle, powder dry.
