It’s quite audacious for China to intercept us during our flyby mission near the airspace of one of their allies. If the situation were reversed, and the Chinese were conducting a flyby along the coast of Alaska, we would unquestionably support their right to do so and refrain from any intervention.
You’re misrepresenting what happened and the documented differences in how China behaves vs other countries.
It’s hard to overstate how dangerous flying within 5 meters of another jet is.
Russia frequently tests US readiness by flying towards North American airspace yet you don’t hear about F-22 pilots colliding with other planes. But there’s a long history of Chinese pilots absolutely fucking it up, resulting in death and damage.
Canada is flying missions for the UN which Chia is a part of. China should not be attempting to interfere with these missions as the purpose is to make sure the DPRK are in fact honoring their agreements.
Israel just bombed a hospital and killed 500 people, shit is about to change big time.
How dare China go intercept us while we are doing a fly by right on the edge of one of their allies air space. If the Chinese were doing a fly by on the coast of Alaska we would totally defend their right to do so and not take any action!
From what I read (and saw on video), the issue is that the Chinese jet got within 10 meters of the plane being intercepted… Which is reckless as hell.
It was literally part of a UN operation.
It’s a Security Council resolution, very different than a broader UN operation.
The resolution itself does not provide for military force to be used for enforcement. Canada was acting against this.
Would you like to refresh my memory on which countries have permanent veto power on the Security Council?
Would you also like to remind me which countries on the Security Council voted to impose sanctions on North Korea?
I’ll wait.
China did, but as stated the resolution does not grant the use of military enforcement.
Does not grant the use of military force. That doesn’t mean that surveillance planes are banned, ffs.
You’re really going out of your way to defend what is meaningless and petty nationalist dickwaving for domestic Chinese media.
Surveillance flights are not military enforcement.
Fuck China. Next *time they buzz a plane or ship we should start blowing folks up. What are they going to do?
