Larry Kudlow, just now, live tv presser says:
"plus, plus, plus, plus" when referencing trade war with China.
What land (island) is it next to?
Does anybody remember this and if the ammo/missiles were ever recovered?

Searchers recover remains of A-10 pilot crashed in Colorado
crash site July 7, 1997

EAGLE, Colorado (CNN) – A recovery team returned from a remote mountain peak Monday with the remains of Capt. Craig Button and possibly a round of ammunition from the wreckage of his aircraft.
The Air Force team – five para-rescuers, two munitions experts and two "spotters" – will return to the summit Tuesday and will continue their search, possibly for weeks.
Button
Button died when the A-10 jet he piloted crashed after disappearing in early April during a training flight. Officials launched an intensive search, and 18 days later the Air Force found the wreckage April 20 on Gold Dust Peak.
At that time rescue crews gathered enough material to identify the wreckage and confirm that Button was dead, but bad weather and snow on the ground prevented further recovery efforts.
The search Monday turned up one round of 30mm ammunition, but it was not immediately clear if the rescue workers brought it back or left it on the mountainside for it to be exploded there at a later date, Capt. Robyn Chumley said.
The ammunition and remains were found at the summit, near the point of impact, at about 12,500 feet, Chumley said. A large amount of debris had washed 500 feet or so down the mountainside because of snow melt.
Searchers have three goals
Air Force spokesman Maj. Joe LaMarca told CNN searchers have three major goals: "to gather material to determine the cause of the incident," to collect dangerous explosives from the plane and to gather Button's remains.
LaMarca says if enough remains can be collected, "If possible we'll do an autopsy and then return those to the family."
The A-10 was carrying four 500-pound Mark-82 bombs, 500 rounds of 30mm training ammunition, ejection seat pyrotechnics, chaff and magnesium flares.
Chaff is fired as a diversion for an enemy's radar-guided missiles. The flares are used to decoy heat-seeking missiles.
The flares present a special danger, LaMarca said, because "They burn really hot, and static electricity could set those off."
In addition, searchers will have to determine if the A-10 was still carrying all its weaponry at the time of the crash.
LaMarca said the Air Force is operating on the presumption that all the weapons were on the plane when it crashed but has not yet located them. "The Air Force has no indication that he released any of the weapons. If we did, we'd be looking in those locations," he said.
LaMarca says the search teams "will take a very methodical approach. There's nobody out there, there's no urgency… we'll take however long as it takes to do it safely."
Workers to set up camp
LaMarca says crews of from four to seven people will spend eight hours a day searching, for as long as three weeks. They could begin camping overnight on the mountain side beginning Tuesday.
Brig. Gen. Donald Streater, who is commanding the operation, stressed "the main thing is to handle these munitions carefully so no one is injured." Streater called the crash site "some of the most formidable terrain I have ever seen." It is located near a mountain top approximately 15 miles southwest of Vail, Colorado.
Because of potential danger to the public, the National Forest Service has barred entry to the five square-mile crash-site until recovery efforts are complete. The Federal Aviation Administration has ordered an air exclusion zone over the site.
Air Force: Mysterious jet crash a suicide
Pilot October 24, 1997

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Air Force investigators have concluded that Capt. Craig Button, whose A-10 jet mysteriously crashed in the Colorado Rockies after breaking away from formation during a training run in April, probably committed suicide.
CNN has learned that in a report due out Monday, military investigators are calling the incident a case of "spontaneous" or "unpremeditated" suicide, largely because they ruled out any other explanation for the crash.
However, investigators found no evidence Button was contemplating suicide prior to the crash. He did not get his affairs in order or leave letters for family, or give any indication he was depressed.
A report that he had received a distressing phone call from a family member that morning was found to be not true, Air Force sources said.
On April 2, Button was piloting an A-10 Thunderbolt jet during a training mission over the Arizona desert when he left formation and disappeared, breaking off radio contact. The jet was later found crashed into a mountainside near Eagle, Colorado, with Button's remains inside.
Four 500-pound bombs that were on the jet at the time have never been recovered.
In the report, investigators conclude that there were no maintenance problems with the plane, no mechanical failure and no evidence of a bird strike that might have disabled the jet.
The Air Force also doesn't believe Button was trying to steal the plane. In fact, on the morning of the crash, he indicated he was excited about going out on his first live bombing run in the A-10.
But investigators have also concluded that Button was not disabled – by a brain aneurysm, a lack of oxygen or some other medical reason – because of evidence that he was still in control and maneuvering the plane prior to the crash.
There was also no evidence that alcohol or drugs might have played a role in the crash.

They are desperate! . . fighting for their lives.
They will do what they are told and what is necessary to regain control.
They already killed at least one president.
We are well beyond expecting/hoping they are not EVIL and SICK.
