The U.S. Navy sent destroyers to the coast of Alaska last week after 11 Russian and Chinese warships were spotted patrolling nearby international waters.
Sen. Dan Sullivan, a Republican from Alaska, called the size of the Chinese and Russian joint operation "unprecedented" and said the U.S. deployed four Navy destroyer ships near the Aleutian Islands in response.
The destroyers were the USS John McCain, USS Benfold, USS John Finn and USS Chung-Hoon.
U.S. aircraft were also in the area throughout the combined exercise, which the U.S. had been tracking since it began in July, according to U.S. officials.
U.S. Coast Guard ships are also always in the area. U.S. Northern Command said the Chinese and Russian patrol remained in international waters and wasn't considered a threat. But the show of force is a reminder of the cooperation between the Chinese and Russian militaries – and of how close the countries are to Alaska.

WNU Editor: When US President Nixon went to China in 1973 the focus of US foreign policy was to make sure that Russia and China do not form a political and military alliance. But the times are changing, and this joint Chinese-Russian naval exercise is a symbol of that.
Sighhh ....
One of the legacies of the Biden administration will be on how botched up almost 50 years of US efforts and policies to make sure that such an alliance did not form.

freedom of navigation operations in the Taiwan straight and Black Sea come back to bite you in the ass.
ReplyDeletei know god damn these people. That was all fine and good while China and Russia were separated. I'm barely old enough so that i remember talking with other boys on the playground about these alliances, and where we stood--and they shoot themselves in the torso like this, by driving their two biggest adversaries into the same camp!!!
DeleteHow is it Biden’s fault he’s not playing appeasement with the Russians or the Chinese. Nixon sold out American industry to the Chinese Biden is making sure to cap their potential
ReplyDeleteoh give it up--they fucked up. They drove the ship of state into a charted shoal
DeleteWe have our ships sail by Taiwan, the Black Sea and the Baltics. Also this is nothing new this happens all the time
DeleteNext will be Hawaii and then California coast.
ReplyDelete1240.
ReplyDeleteAnd why not. freedom of navigation right? Freedom for stupidity more like it. Chinese have a big enough navy to go putt-ing around the us coast lines.
it should be expected.
pretty much. Twelve miles is not very far.
DeleteYawn!!
ReplyDeleteNo one administration is responsible for this, and as easy as it is to lay the blame on a single term of Biden, that's a fallacy; the blame for this is in US foreign policy from Trump to Obama and vice versa.
ReplyDeleteUm no. It’s the Obama/Biden admin screwing everything up.
DeleteExactly--This is a big part of why Trump won--peace through strength (not peace through war)
DeleteAhh yes appeasement of China and Russia.
DeleteYou gents under the age of 25?
ReplyDeleteThis has been going on since the Bush 1 administration. We treated the Russians like crap in the last 30 years. The Chinese? we shipped all our industry to and made them the power house they are today.
Then we screwed with the russians by pulling out of a bunch of treaties and adding members to NATO all the while we were told by them not to do it.
The Chinese saw the writing on the wall and the Russians, after being pushed into a box, both came together after being mistreated.
That's how it GOES.
Blob policy evolution over the years pushed the Ruskies into the Chines orbit.
The best and brightest at work. Those blob idiots Totally undermined the Nixon common sense approach.
yep
DeleteChina has greatly changed since the Nixon years? want to blame one party and not the other? Blame Nixon for opening up China to get American jobs and manufacturing. And whee do you thing the MAGA hats were initially made?
ReplyDeleteThe blame for this collision course lies squarely on the State Dept. of Obama/Clinton/Kerry and the current administration.
ReplyDelete^^^
ReplyDeletegive specifics otherwise just another blame game crap
what did Trump do? oh, have maga red hats made in china. and he confronted russia? NEVER

More lies from WNU.
WNU has stated in the past that he was told by his Chinese hosts in the 198-0s that for years China would be a good neighbor and then after China was on a sound economic and military footing then China would be a bad neighbor. the Chinese plan predates Biden as president or vice president. It predates Clinton and maybe both Bushes.
Opening up China not only made China viable it created poverty in the US and increased the Gini index in the US.
One offshoring businessman or investment banker told a reporter he though it was win, if more Chinese were lifted out of poverty than American were put into poverty. Of course as an offshorer he was not going to be put into poverty.
Some people have written that Kissinger's and Nixon's China gambit was a mistake. They did not write it due to partisanship. I thought it was a good article. As an aside, if it was a mistake and I believe it was, it was the fault of the Democrats.
As much as I hate the poser, Biden, who was selected not elected and is a puppet, this is not his fault.
What mattered to China was the correlation of forces economic and military. In that Biden and his puppeteers made that worse, Biden is to blame.
3:04 is dumb @$$ of no account and no skill. The US is at Caesar vs Pompey or Octavian vs Anthony time period. Democrats have killed the Republic and they murdered the Republic with extreme prejudice. We are talking of overkill.
ReplyDeletesome one said Trump won. Ok he beat Hillary. and he was so good that he lost the 2nd term, a term that most presidents manage to get. Time perhaps to put aside your dislike of the one party and deal with the issue at hand. China and Russia simply have found a love match to offset the super super power that since WWII has dominated the world economically and militarily.

the captains of those destroyers were all wearing skirts and lipstick inquiring about sex reassignment surgery, sorry to say. The feeling is that is what it takes to win promotion in Biden's Navy.
