Russia and China conduct freedom of navigation exercises near Alaska
Russia and China conduct freedom of navigation exercises near Alaska
Four U.S. destroyers were dispatched to monitor Russian and Chinese ships in the area.
LOL - fucken brazen. I cannot wait to see the libs twist themselves into knots trying to get upset at this without giving up their game.
idk a lot of them probably wouldn't even realize they're giving the game away and just get openly mad at it
There's no cognitive dissonance with the libs. They'll say it's okay when they do it because they're "protecting freedom and democracy," but if China and Russia are doing it it's "authoritarian aggression."
Now, I also think it's good when our side does it and bad when the other does it, but I don't pretend to be impartial.
I don't think it's all the same. Remember that China did not have a blue ocean navy in the 1800s, hence the century of humiliation. This may in fact be the first of a kind event and a further extension as China fully stands up.
yankies never not getting brazy
God i can't wait for us to get our asses cratered. Something might actually change around here for once
How about do this but around Niger because the west is not far from invading them and if they manage to resist their ECOWAS pawns I suspect a freedoming from some western nation is coming. Doubt the US will want to launch a full scale invasion but they have troops there who refuse to leave and an assault on the leadership using special forces, drones, gunships? Seems plausible.
I’m excited in a terrified and actually not all that excited way for the “find out stage” of “fuck around and”
They did find out US will not protect Philippines.
Is it a good idea to poke at the only country in the world to have ever used nuclear weapons against people?
What's the alternative, to just let US continue holding the whole planet hostage?
Let's see. Russia could do something about all the oligarch children living in USA (along with their oligarch parents sometimes). There was a bill introduced a couple of years ago that would forbid Duma membership for holders of foreign real estate and business (IIRC, I'll have to check specific wording of the proposal), plus bits about foreign citizenship. It was shot down.
China could start embargoes of their own. They've already started with the gallium export. Or do they honestly believe allowing a Tesla factory in China would translate to Musk lobbying the yankee government to go easy?
Yes actually. Russia and China are both nuclear powers and the US is arrogant but not completely ignorant of reality. They wouldn't dare use nuclear weapons on either. They don't even dare Russia to use theirs by getting directly involved in Ukraine with open NATO battalions as they would if Russia didn't have nukes. They're not going to commit suicide by using a nuclear weapon in anger over a transit or minor territorial violation.
With the kind of redacted running the show over there? I am no longer certain of it. We are dealing with people who deliberately organise massacres to prop up their bloated financial system for a few more years. I am no longer sure they quite understand the implications of a nuclear war. Or even a conventional one.
The US does this to China every week. It's time China starts standing up to them.
The U.S. does something much more brazen -- sailing through the Taiwan straight despite formally recognizing the island as part of China.
