isn't freedom of navigation wonderful?

[ElpidioArroyo-tt]

Near Alaska = Near Russia, stop the fear mongering

[musiconabudget]

Americans calls it freedom of navigation excercises . But when others do it, its a provocation

[alansmithc]

Intercept in international airspace? 😂😂😂 that’s not intercept

[samcalvinist]

If America can Fly plane in South China sea and in the Baltics, then Russia and China can fly Planes near Alaska.

[Mickey-ykkv]

US flies over South China Sea is international patrol... When China and Russia flies over Alaska international space is interception. Double standard! LOL

[TjayfrmdaA]

That’s how china feels when you’re flying in Taiwan

[rudyalfonsus]

What happened to freedom of navigation? Isn't it what the US always push other countries to do?

[pumalee]

Its just freedom of navigation, I don't understand what about worry.

"Stop messing around! The U.S. loves showing off by sailing through China's Air Defense Identification Zone, but now that China sent an old propeller plane to visit Alaska, American media is acting like it's the end of the world. Seriously, China hasn't even reached California's coast yet. Calm down!"

russia and china have all the right to defend themselves from usa and its vassals

[yu-jdjg]

China's most important Confucius saying. "what you do not want, do not give to others" or in simple words, don't do to others if you don't want others to do the same to you. The Hegemonic US should reflect upon what it is constantly persistently arrogantly doing to other countries of the world

[titanxie]

Thanks Russia and China... now US is going to ask us to pay more for their protections!!! I am a Canadian btw.

[orbitalpotato]

"I am a Russian/Chinese military aircraft conducting lawful military activities outside national airspace. I am operating with due regard as required under international law". *checkmate fool*

[benbo]

I just realize, US & NATO complain about the Chinese doing close intercepts but this look pretty much how the Chinese do it to in terms of of spacing

[mengreat]

Freedom of navigation as US Demoncracy Hegemony imperialism like to tell

[EstherMoffett-dh]

When the head of state is weak the vultures begin to circle.

[RandomGuy]

They didn't intercept them and never stated those Chinese or Russian jets posed a threat. This is finest journalism again.

[azuremain]

Different to the ChiComms in the South China Sea, the US planes did not harass them, did not conduct unsafe maneuvers and did not demand from them to change course. Huge difference.

[starlanight]

They are practicing for when they come over here!!
