U.S. flies two warplanes over East China Sea, ignoring new Chinese air defense zone By Craig Whitlock, Updated: Tuesday, November 26, 8:55 PM E-mail the writer The U.S. military has flown two warplanes over the East China Sea on a training exercise, the Pentagon announced Tuesday, blatantly ignoring a recent edict from China that it must be informed in advance of any such flights over the region. The two unarmed aircraft flew Monday evening, Eastern time, over a small island chain that China and Japan both claim as their territory, said Lt. Col. Tom Crosson, a Pentagon spokesman. He said the U.S. military did not provide any notice to Beijing and described the mission as “uneventful,” saying that there was “no contact, no reaction from China.” Full coverage of the revelations and debate surrounding National Security Agency surveillance programs.

On Saturday, China issued an edict imposing an “air defense identification zone” over part of the East China Sea and the uninhabited islands, known as the Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyo in China. The Chinese Defense Ministry warned that any noncommercial aircraft entering the zone would need to submit flight plans in advance or else face the possibility of “defensive emergency measures.” Japan and the United States immediately protested the move. The Pentagon, which frequently conducts naval and air exercises in the East China Sea, said it had no intention of bowing to China’s demands, calling them “a destabilizing attempt to alter the status quo in the region.” On Tuesday, the White House blasted China’s imposition of the air defense identification zone, but urged Beijing to address territorial conflicts diplomatically instead of militarily. “We believe that inflammatory rhetoric and inflammatory policy pronouncements like those made by the Chinese over the weekend are counterproductive, and we believe that those differences of opinion can and should be resolved diplomatically,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters. “It’s in the interest of all of the parties in the region to do that.” Crosson declined to identify what kind of U.S. military aircraft carried out the mission on Monday but said the planes came from a base on Guam, the U.S. territory in the Pacific. Another U.S. military official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss details of the operation, said the aircraft were both long-range B-52 bombers. Numerous countries, including the United States and Japan, have air defense identification zones of their own. The zones are established to help countries track or monitor aircraft nearing their territories, but in this case, the zones of Japan and China overlap. Security experts worry that China’s new zone could increase the likelihood of a mishap that sparks a wider armed conflict, drawing in the United States, which is treaty-bound to protect Japan. The tension with China threatens to cloud a planned trip by Vice President Biden to Beijing next week. Biden is scheduled to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping, in between visits to Japan and South Korea. Analysts said it was unlikely that either Beijing or Washington would want to cancel Biden’s visit. “There’s now too much wrapped up in the U.S.-Chinese relationship,” said Patrick Cronin, an analyst at the Center for a New American Security, a Washington think tank that works closely with the Obama administration. “Neither side wants to take a high risk.” Chico Harlan in Seoul contributed to this report.

Uma diidani i just believe theyre better off within the kingdom any way they will vote next year i still believe the vast majority of the scots will favor union over independence.

Somaliland has been fighting for 23 years for their right place on the world stage as an independent state if you really believe Somalilanders will accept a mere provincial status with in Somalia than you awaits a rude awakening ina futurow. Babuurta iska ilaali yanay ku jidhin eh. Aslong as no one rules Somaliland but its sons and Somaliland flag flies high in every city in Somaliland, i sleep peacefully every night knowing the country is in good hands.

No i dont support Scottish Independence I believe Scotland benefits and has allot of privileges with in the United Kingdom, the Scots would lose out allot of agricultural subsidies ,and than there is the currency issues, and the Union has served them well the past 3 centuries. As for Somaliland i believe Somaliland should remain neutral on this and should not support it nor be against it.

Scots to hear how nation could go it alone Pro-independence SNP leader to launch manifesto on how Scotland could leave UK, ahead of poll on ending 300-year union. Derek Lambie Last updated: 25 Nov 2013 21:26 Listen to this page using ReadSpeaker Email Article Print Article Share article Send Feedback The SNP leader, Alex Salmond, has long promised a debate on independence [GETTY] Ads by BetterSurfAd Options Scotland's first minister, Alex Salmond, will unveil his blueprint for independence on Tuesday in a long-awaited document he insists will pave the way for the end of the United Kingdom. Salmond is set to deliver a White Paper in Glasgow outlining his government's vision for an independent Scottish nation. Described by the ruling Scottish National Party (SNP) as a "landmark document", the 670-page publication is expected to set forth the economic, social and democratic case for leaving Great Britain. Click here for all our in-depth coverage The deputy first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, said: "Our message to the people of Scotland is simple: read it, compare it with any alternative future for Scotland and make up your own mind." The paper is also likely to address contentious issues including which currency the country would adopt, as well as how a military would be created and whether Scotland would remain part of the European Union. Voters will go to the polls next September in a referendum that could see the end of a union that has lasted more than three centuries. Salmond and his deputy will front the launch of the paper, which they liken to a "prospectus for an independent Scotland", at the Glasgow Science Centre on Tuesday morning. Its publication is being viewed by political commentators as a defining moment in what has been a bitter campaign between the pro-independence "Yes" campaign, and its "Better Together" rival. The economy has taken centre stage in the debate, with critics claiming Scotland would be left with a multi-billion-dollar black hole in its public finances as a result of leaving the union. Last month, the London-based Institute of Fiscal Studies said an independent Scotland would start life £90 billion ($145 billion) in the red as it would inherit its historic share of UK national debt. There is also uncertainty over currency. The Scottish parliament insists it would continue with Sterling, but the British government has warned it would veto any attempt. The White Paper is expected to state Scotland would take advantage of its tourism, manufacturing and vast natural resources - including wind and wave power as well as North Sea oil - twinned with business tax incentives to boost economic growth. Opinion polls have so far suggested Salmond will lose the referendum, with support for remaining in the UK standing at about 47 percent. But Henry McLeish, who served as first minister between 2000 and 2001, said the publication of the White Paper could ignite the debate and boost the Yes campaign. He told Al Jazeera: "The biggest problem so far is that people have great fears about the unknown of independence, whether that's pensions, social security, or the currency situation. "Now there will be some answers contained in the White Paper." Established in 1999, the devolved Scottish parliament has been used to enact policies including a public smoking ban, free personal care for the elderly, free medical prescriptions and a freeze in council tax. Independence would also give Holyrood, the seat of parliament, control over all other matters reserved to Westminster, such as defence, foreign policy, immigration and taxation. If Scotland does split from the union, pro-independence political leaders have already nominated March 24, 2016, as independence day.

^^ The Girls in Ukraine are very beautiful to

How do you know that they did not even reveal the oil firm ,lets wait and see before we make our conclusions.

Doctor Kenney ,the sad part is Arabs think they actually won in 1973 war they were equally humiliated than to, they had some early strides but they were beaten back again. The Egyptians are now on the air as superior as the Israelis they posses enough military arsenal for the air brand new F16 mostly us defense aid. Economically the Egyptians are regressing because there is no reform. The Iranians are creative in the cultural sense they're moving forward they capitalize on moments such as today's even their imamite rule is pretty impressive the way power is distributed in their Islamic republic.only 11 percent of the iranians are unemployed , the iranians are moving forward whether its in technology or political its seems their way of politicking is finally paying off.

Funny but Awdal girls are gorgeous

The sunni elites in the Khaleeji countries Sacuudi qatar kuwait the the UAE the Bahrainies have always tried to use Western support diplomatic and militaristic support, to advance their regional interests in the middle east and Abroad in terms of the economics and religious sub ideology Wahabism and Salafism. Their interest and relations with the west was most of the time parallel with that of the Israelis and the west. But the Khaljeeji Arabs always tried to use western muscle to corner Shia interest in the Middle east whether it was Hezbollah or iran or in Syria or Iraq. The west plays its own form of games playing bot the shia and suni against each other we have seen it in Iraq they tried to remove Sadam according to them he was a treat to western interest particularly US interest, they tried using Ahmed Chalabi the Shia politician but he double crossed them and channeled US secret intelligence back to the Ayatollahs in Tehran. Classified Hezbollah cannot give into western demands aslong as Israel keeps on pushing with in Sovereign Lebanese territories,when ever it wants and Israel occupation of the Golan heights in Syria makes it impossible for Syria alawi regime to normalize relations with Israel. Shia particularly led by the Imams of Iran could easily give into the demands of the west but they choose to protect their honer. There is to much at stake for the Shia it will take new leaders with new visions to bring the shia and the suni closer together, as it currently stands the Saudis want Iran to be bombed which is a problem for the entire region, because the Saudis feel that they are being undermined in the middle east.

Because we dont really have memorial statues in Somaliland of people historic figures and i dont see that happening, classified why not ask the Puntlanders to have one for him in Bosaaso?

i doubt it to

^^ Because Iranians are not Arabs, iranians have their own form of Foreign policy, iranians wish to be respected by the west and will get that, because they took a firm stance. But i share Dr Kenney opinion that the US will warm up to Iran when they ease the sanctions Just like how Nixon US president forged warm relations with the peoples republic of China of Zhou Enlai. This deal is a real diplomatic triumph for President hassan Rohanis Administration of Iran, and the iranian people, the iranians now time is in their favor and they are still able to enrich uranium not to the full force and sanctions will be partly lifted. The Israelis cannot stand that Irans sanctions will be partly lifted with out major concessions on the side of the Iranians. The saudis are very unhappy because their Jihadi al nusra cells will have it very difficult in battling Asads Alaawis forces. Sheikh hassan nastrallah and the Hisbullah movement can still reach out to the iranians and the iranians can still provide logistics to the Lebanese Shia Hezobollah.

It has been demarcated when Siad bare and Mengistu agreed to honor and respect and both should adopt and uphold the Italian Abyssinian treaty that separates Somalia from Ethiopia. The Ethiopian parliament in 1994 overwhelmingly accepted this , no Somalia parliament had ratified the agreement between Siad bare and mengistu in 1988. Because shortly later the state collapsed.

The iranians got a fine deal there it will give them enough time to enrich uranium in their disclosed facilitates and Sanctions will be eased the losers are Family Saudi the Israelis . The winners are Asad of Syria Hizbullah the Iranians the Huuthis in Yemen. The special relations between israel and the US is not that special after all.

Thats a bit extreme i would say the Muslims there need stand up for their rights.
