PLAAF aircraft may have entered Taiwan "airspace"
PLAAF aircraft going across the midline in the strait is hardly news these days, but today seems different. Usually once a PLAAF aircraft crosses the midline Taiwan's collaborationist airforce would radio the aircraft and warn that they have entered Taiwan's "空域", this time around the plane ignored the warning and continued onwards and ROCAF issued a second warning saying the aircraft has entered Taiwans "領空". If this is true then the PLAAF aircraft would have come within 12 nautical mile of Taiwan coast.
ROCAF command has not yet confirmed or denied this news, instead they are saying they are investigating it and will update.
Here's the actual warning:
They didn't send a plane to intercept???

Does it matter if they did? Unless they have the balls to actually shoot down the PLAAF plane, there isn’t a lot they can do to stop it going where it pleases.
But from the mainlands prospective, it’s just flying within its own national airspace, and would not give one F what the ROC says.

Looks like the third engine failed to ignite, causing the instability and also resulting in too great of a touchdown speed.
Guys ... let's keep it simple and even if some of you might deem this rude, I close this thread until everyone calmed down and strictly reconsiders the way of posting.
Most of these last posts are either political or discussions and as such directly AGAINST the topic's title:
Breaking & World News! III NO DISCUSSION!!
And I will do the same with every thread containing political discussions; I have enough.
Take this as a warning ... next similar post in any other will lead to vacation from SDF until 2021.

Europe is slowly receding. Besides japan, it will have the lowest GDP growth of any developed nations for the next 15-20 years.
Agree. It is a very tricky problem, and they have not put their finger on it, what to do exactly. If they knew, their economies would not be this stagnant.
Some of the European states never fully recovered from the 2008 financial crisis.
Sorry to say, I forgot most the Marxism I have read, because those were theories, and not something to practice for someone like me who is just trying to survive. I am not the government implementing grandiose policy or whatever.
What I remember is the debt starts to overwhelm.
Capitalism needs debt to expand. So they keep borrowing. But it gets to a point, where more debt, does not produce the same amount of output as before. The law of diminishing returns in effect.
We see it happen to companies listed on the stock exchange. Their balance sheets shows that the company is so indebted, that all profits go to debt servicing and not R&D for instance. The same happens to countries, particularly the ones in Latin America 30-40 years ago, and still happens recently maybe.
Seems like that is several European countries nowadays.
Okay, this rant is a little too long already.
Two things to keep in mind about the debt, and that is 1) which currency it is in matters; a government that owes the debt in your own currency then that is mostly okay, and 2) the possibility of growing out of the debt.
