Impressing Various People With B52 Fly Overs

JUST TO REVIEW QUICKLY; The United States flew a pair of B52 bombers right smack through China's newly declared no fly zone, just because it can. Pretty exciting stuff. Go Yanks! Now, just between you and me, I woulda flown a squadron, maybe four to six F14 fighters, or some such similar, with guys like Top Gun Tom Cruise piloting, with orders to elude capture at all costs. A pair of big, lumbering B52s, unarmed at that, certainly gave the Chinese Air Force adequate targets of opportunity. So that must've been the intent, must've been what Obama, or his generals wanted; to tempt, and to provoke. How perfectly lovely, to live in a world in which a big powerful country aggressively expands its declared airspace, and another big powerful country, your country, responds with: temptation and provocation, and decides to dare, to issue a challenge. The United States has made it perfectly clear that it fully intends to fly whatever in the hell it wants to fly through this "new" Chinese air space any damned time it wants to. As an astute observer of American behavior over the past few decades,I would be willing to attest, and indeed remiss if I didn't attest, to the effect that it seems highly likely to me that the United States means exactly what it says, in this particular instance, and can be counted on to fly often through the new no fly zone. On the other hand, nothing is as awesome as a B52 flying low and slow, right over your head, on a bright sunny spring day, while you are playing tennis with a cute girl. I had to stop and look up at the thing, it was bigger than a city, and looked like something from another planet, flat black, huge, and angular, making this god awful screeching noise as it glided slowly no more than a hundred feet above me. It was circling the city, advertising the upcoming air show. The girl I was playing tennis with ignored the plane, and kept hitting. I just couldn't do that. I could not continue to play tennis with a B52 cruising slowly over my head, I had to stand there, frozen, and watch it. So I can understand why we (the U.S.A.) would send B52s to impress the Chinese. A low flying slow flying B52 is enough to impress anybody, even me, playing tennis with a pretty girl.
