What's Obama gonna do about it?

Obama ain't gonna do shit. The chinks know it, that's why they've been pulling this kind of shit his entire term. I fucking bet they won't be feeling so ballsy after January.

Blame it on Trump as the Guardian is virtually doing. What else?

I believe he told them to cut it out, unsure on whether or not they got back to him yet.

He won't do anything, but MY president might.

There will be a Chinese clone of it in a few years now.

https://archive.is/zxaRG :
'The seizure of the drone is also a reflection of the struggle occurring under the surface of the South China Sea. '
'The Chinese navy has seized an underwater drone in plain sight of the American sailors who had deployed it in international waters, in a seemingly brazen message to the incoming Trump administration. '
'Chinese sailors in the small boat came alongside the drone and grabbed it despite the radioed protests from the Bowditch that it was US property in international waters. '
'A week later there was a collision between a US spy plane and Chinese warplane off China’s Hainan island. '
'The Chinese now have much better control over the military, particularly the navy. '
This has been an automated message.

They should have fired a warning shot at the little boat and told them to fuck off. If they still persisted in trying recover the drone they should have been blown out of the water like any pirates should be.

They are some legitimate commercial uses like for prospecting but there's nothing to keep someone from tapping deep sea fiber or spying.

The Guardian is corrupt and should be archived in the OP. It doesn't deserve our support. Please keep this in mind for future posts.
