A Chinese fighter jet conducted an “unnecessarily aggressive maneuver” during an intercept of a US spy plane in international airspace over the South China Sea last week, the US military said in a statement Tuesday.
I’m just saying both sides whine. The Chinese government whined when the weather balloon got shredded and the US is whining now that Chinese plane is waggling its wings at the US plane. Both governments are just whining. I guess another word for it could be posturing?
Again, the difference is that US surrounded China with military bases, has been trying to build things like QUAD to contain China, and has now started an economic war with China. Saying that both whine is simply false equivalence. US is a clear aggressor here, and China has shown incredible amounts of patience dealing with US over the years.
I never said the US was protecting Vietnam, way to put words in my mouth. I’ll explicitly spell out what I said a second time: When two historically antagonistic countries, such as the US and Vietnam, both independently hold the same opinion that China is being overly aggressive regarding its claims to the South China Sea, China is probably wrong.
You seem to think that I’m some jingoistic US MIC supporter. I am not.
The context for the discussion is US flying spy planes in South China sea. Vietnam has nothing to do with that last I checked. And I’ll spell it out for you too, here’s what relations between China and Vietnam actually look like:
The difference is that US comes half way across the globe to wave their multi billion dollar aircraft in China’s face.
I mean China came halfway across the globe to float their balloons in America’s face.
Not the dreaded weather balloon!

Yeah, when even the Vietnamese government is calling China out for their aggression in the South China Sea, it’s not a US v China thing.
Ah yes, US is just trying to protect Vietnam from big bad China because US has a long history of helping countries like Vietnam. Cool story bro.
