A Chinese military jet intercepted a Canadian Armed Forces Aurora aircraft in an “aggressive manner” on Monday in international waters off the coast of China...
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.
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?
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
