We've intercepted Russian assets up there on a weekly basis for years, but I don't recall Chinese assets alone or with Russians.

Deadliest Catch is going to be off the chain once World War III kicks off.

Great move by boi Putin

Choke yourself. Putin is an a-hole. Regardless of who's in charge, Russia and China don't want that smoke. The USN and ASAF would absolutely wreck them.

Not mentioned: Russia intercepting US Bombers over the same region 3 days ago.

Sounds like a standard show of force to me

I agree here with you. I have a question for everyone. Is it common everyday for the Chinese to send weather balloons the size of school buses over our nation?

Uncle Joe said those balloons were not a threat.

How long until China absorbs Taiwan?


Exactly what do you think is going to happen?

China is going to assemble a paratroop and amphibious force in a yet-to-be-built navy, keeping hidden while they do this, then cross 100 miles of open ocean and invade a country with very little approachable coastline and overwhelm an armed force of 400,000 that has lived their whole life preparing for this?

We pulled this off in Normandy because Germany (less than 1/10 the size of China) had been fighting two fronts for several years and there were no satellites to track this crap. We literally fooled them with glorified bounce houses.

MAYBE they go with an embargo, but that would still be inviting an all out, “non-surprise” confrontation with the US and several allies in the area.

They weren't. I'm the most hard-line conservative you'll run across, but the stuff with the Chinese balloon was some of the best intelligence we've gathered in decades. Whoever authorized that operation in China is probably rotting in a shallow grave right now.

No one gonna mention how unusual it is for china and russia to fly bombers together in formation within us airspace.

I feel like thats a development.

It's more odd you believe that to be in any way correct. How about back to back days, and the 5th time for the year, by may 21st. LINK you'll probably not click.
