First it’s Russia mocking Obama with a California fly-by on July 4th. Now China appears to have done the same by putting 5 of their warships near the coast of Alaska while Obama was visiting the state:
FOX NEWS – Five Chinese navy ships have been spotted in the Bering Sea, off the Alaska coast, coinciding with President Obama’s visit to the state, a senior defense official confirmed to Fox News.
Navy Commander Bill Urban, a Pentagon spokesman, said Wednesday the sighting marked the first time ships from the People’s Liberation Army Navy were seen in the Bering Sea.
“We respect the freedom of all nations to operate military vessels in international waters in accordance with international law,” Urban said.
There are three surface warfare ships, one amphibious assault ship and one supply vessel. The Wall Street Journal was first to report the sighting.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters on Wednesday that the Defense Department “positively identified a number of Chinese naval vessels in that region, but based on their analysis, they have not detected any sort of threat or threatening activities.”
The U.S. military reportedly has been aware of the ships and tracking their movements for days as they moved through international waters. Earnest said the intent of the ships’ presence “is still unclear” while speaking aboard Air Force One as Obama flew near the Bering Sea.
They all know Obama is a joke and now they are taking turns mocking him. Well they are right, Obama is a joke, just a really really bad one.
