China has agreed to return the US underwater drone that it seized in international waters earlier this week, the Pentagon said Saturday.
"We have registered our objection to China's unlawful seizure of a US unmanned underwater vehicle operating in international waters in the South China Sea. Through direct engagement with Chinese authorities, we have secured an understanding that the Chinese will return the UUV to the United States," Pentagon spokesman

Earlier, China's Defense Ministry said authorities had decided to return it, but criticized the US for having "hyped up" the issue. President-elect Donald Trump weighed in on the incident, calling China's action "unprecedented."
Trump doesnt know how "things" work... he will learn hopefully before he makes irreversible damages. the U.S. excuse is the thin line that is 'international waters'. international waters only a few NM from Chinese waters. can you name any foreign drones patrolling our shores.?
Trump doesnt know how "things" work... he will learn hopefully before he makes irreversible damages.
Some would argue that not knowing how things work is a positive. The way things work has us at each others throats enriching a very few select people and corps.

Running a large company, and I mean a very large co. like Trump has a lot of things in common with the US govt. Organizing a community is not in the same ball park.

what does Trump has to do with this?
he said on twitter they could keep it. didnt he?
the president elect told a foreign nation to just keep our technology...
China responded to return it before Trump took to twitter with another poorly spelled tirade of ill informed non sense.

WTH? If that's the case, then why did so many conservatives bash Pres Obama for being an "inexperienced" community organizer? Or does this doublespeak only work for the candidates you support?
In this case it works because Obama didn't know how to get stuff done. Trump doesn't know politics or how be anything but an asshole, but he does know how to get stuff done. Tried, tested and true. I'm tired of actors that compete to play the best depiction.
President Obama was an elected US Senator when he was elected President in 2008! And before that, he was an elected State Senator in Illinois! How does running a company have more in common with the US Govt than actually being an elected lawmaker in the US Govt?!

"How to get stuff done"? What stuff? Anyone can do stuff, so who decides what stuff is acceptable?
For example, some of the "stuff" Trump has done is hire illegal immigrants/undocumented workers. And screw over many of his suppliers and contractors, including small businesses. And had his businesses file for bankruptcy multiple times. And screwed over his Trump University student base, having to settle the case for $25 million. And set up deals to have his own products made in both China and Mexico.
Is that the "stuff" you're referring to that's supposed to make him better at getting stuff done?
