Chinese military jet intercepts Canadian Forces plane in "aggressive manner"
Chinese military jet intercepts Canadian Forces plane in "aggressive manner"
Then the YouTube comment section saying how it's our fault since we are close to China. I don't know why I still read them.
Why do you still read them? (Edit: I'm not being snarky, I'm curious why)
Every few months I forget why I stopped reading comment sections and dip back into unmoderated comments on news sites. It's awful.
A long time ago, every comment on YouTube was vitriol. It didn't matter what the video was, every single comment was pure poison. Today you can safely read the comments on videos that don't have political context. Of course anything political is going to be completely overrun with state level astroturfing, extremists, and mouth breathers. Occasionally I'll accidentally read the comments on something political, forgetting that comments should be off-limits for that video.
I'm not a bot .... at least I don't think I am
But I still want to ask .... why are Canadian military aircraft flying in international waters off the coast of China.
How would we feel if Chinese military aircraft were flying off the coast of Canada?
And there is military tension on Chinese borders, why would we want to further antagonize them?
They were on a mission related to sanctions in North Korea which is right next to china.
Well it's international airspace and nations can fly whatever they want inside international airspace regardless of the proximity to a nation.
Russians do it to Canada and the United States often but it doesn't make much fanfare because the parties involved handle it professionally

You mean, why are planes flying in international airspace?
Maybe grow up a bit, China. You’re behaving like a toddler.

From the description of the video, should you care to read it:
Global News was on board the Canadian military aircraft reporting on the mission, which is part of Operation NEON, Canada’s contribution to helping enforce sanctions against North Korea, when the aggressive intercepts took place.
Uh, they already do that. We generally don't buzz the planes and antagonize them
It said why in the video.
It’s part of our role in ensuring international sanctions are followed
It’s about shipping lanes to North Korea, nothing to do with China
How would we feel if they sent spy balloons directly over our countries?
Canada > China, they don't need permission to fly planes over the ocean

Sabre rattling. They're not going to engage. It's about intimidation. They want reactionaries in North America to sound the alarm and make the first (wrong) move first.
To make the first move first?!
Shoot them down and they won't play fuck-fuck games next time.
That's what Turkey did to Russia and Russia didn't make a peep and haven't bothered them since.
That's what turkey did after theirs got shot down first.
There is some more context to that event and it's aftermath.
Yes. Let's just add that final nudge to get world war three kicked off in earnest.
Shoot them down
This is why kids don't run a country (except for America when they need a stooge). You need the brains god have a gnat to not start wars between superpowers.
