rt.com/usa/news/china-us-stealth-helicopter/Alright. Most people wouldn't think this was very funny, but i love poetic justice. There is a price to pay for any deed, goodly or ungodly, and it looks like our secret ops government is going to pay their price.

Just like the F117 shot down over Bosnia ended up being studied by the Russians and the Chinese.

It's one of those things that America, in its arrogance, overlooks. If you're going to make war, there's a very good chance your tactics will backfire. It has been my distinct observation that the average American honestly believes in his/her superiority. I had a lot of fun as a street artist in Mexico because i'm dark enough to pass off as Hispanic. The Americans who came didn't even notice that my Spanish had a thick accent because their own Spanish was atrocious, and they assumed that just because i had dark eyes, dark hair and hung out with a Mexican crowd, i couldn't speak English.
What really amused me, however, was that these Americans came fortified with the idea they were going to outsmart the Mexicans at their own game of wheeling and dealing on their own turf. As they haggled over prices, frantically trying to calculate the differences between pesos and dollars, and trying to assume the posture of someone who knew it all, they ended up paying three and four times more than they would have paid if they had been honest and forthright.
I also clicked the button to the side of the article that presented a page on why Americans shouldn't fear China. It listed a few things in resourcefulness and preparing for the future America could learn, but considering that streak of "i know everything already" that characterizes American representation, i doubt the US will actually absorb any useful knowledge from China.

Geez, didn't we learn this in grade school? If you don't want to share your toys, don't bring them to the party. Pakistan would do well to keep the helicopter itself.
