    Personnel at China's military base in Djibouti have been aiming powerful lasers at American aircraft that also operate in or near the country. The lasers caused minor eye injuries to 2 American pilots, an official said.https://nyti.ms/2KyLEmJ

        #US should refrain from policing the world. #US is unable to understand that they are not center of universe anymore.

        Now how do they know these are Chinese lasers? More importantly, with the U.S. locked into permanent lying mode, how do we know any of this is true?

        I would suspect the pilots have a pretty good idea of who injured their eyes.

        Well you're about to take off to bomb innocent Africans, and suddenly you get a laser in your eye mostly blinding you, and you just know it's those d*mned Russi... OOPS, I mean Chinese. How can you tell?

        US and China airbases are 8 kilometers apart. What brought US planes into contact with China Base personnel? What was intent of Chinese? Or of US aircraft? Can’t US just use drones to look around?

        The US has a base in Djibouti that it uses to wage war on Somalia and Yemen. On a rare occasion that NYT even mentions its presence there, it is to promote the idea of war with China.
