The Chinese and Russian military aircraft flew "for an extended period without prior notice," South Korea's defense ministry said.
Summary
South Korea scrambled fighter jets as five Chinese and six Russian warplanes entered its air defense identification zone (KADIZ) on Friday, though they did not breach national airspace.
The incursion, part of joint Chinese-Russian military drills, occurred near the contested Dokdo islands and lasted over four hours.
South Korea condemned the unannounced flights, calling for measures to prevent escalation.
Similar incidents have increased since 2019, reflecting deepening China-Russia defense ties amid tensions with the U.S., South Korea, and Japan.
This follows other global airspace incidents involving Russian and Chinese forces.
China's MO is to antagonize. They keep pushing knowing that sooner or later some individual they're antagonizing is going to fuck up and cross the line, and they'll be able to go all in on a "response" while blaming the other side for starting it.
It's insane to me that entire fucking countries governments act no different than literal children.
This is stereotypical school yard bully tactics. It's so fucking stupid. People point to specific sad stories as reasons they lost faith in humanity... I point to every country on the planet acting like children any time they have a slight disagreement, or decide they want something someone else has.
K was right. A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals.
I suspect Trump will be using hangings or guillotines to remove some of the people he can't stand, in the next-decade of his dictatorship..
I've no idea if he'll have the balls to be so blatent right up-front,
but by the beginning of the 2030's, KKK-style murder-worship'll be happening, at-least, if not "burning at the stake" & outright human-sacrifice-worship for Trump.
People are ignoring the progression of personality-transformation he's going through..
Absolute-psychopathy's going to be ruling him, in less than a year, I bet..
then, as that progresses.. then it gets worse..
My point is simply that both sides, ideological-prejudice & ruthless-uprightness can use guillotines to clean-up government, but "clean up" has opposite meanings, for opposite sides, you know?
I mean what is the line there, I would say soon as they hit the "national" line instead of the identification line Id blow them out of the sky and broadcast the location of their downed jets proving their infraction. China doesn't want war, it'll crush their economy with everyone else's. Choosing to go to war would likely only end in their people overthrowing their government whether they could hide the fact they instigated it or not. A billion starving people wouldn't be easy to keep restrained.
War is another major economy driver, so no - it would not "crush" their economy. If you think in the current Internet age the Chinese government can be organized against so easily that it'll be overthrown by their own people, then you know so little about China that further discussion on this topic with you is a complete waste of time.
it depends on what that gov't money's in, doesn't it?
Education, properly-done, pays back many times over.
Corruption-removal does, too.
Trustworthy-infrastructure does, too.
Eradicating economic-waste, through effective regulation, does, too..
( ever heard of a sloppy-engineered, sloppy-configured, sloppy-built race-engine winning a NASCAR race?
No?
Only the tightest-regulated engines CAN compete at the top?
It's the same with rightly regulated economies: efficient, quick, agile, low-waste, instant-accountability, low-corruption, low-lossage, etc.
IT'S THE SAME PRINCIPLE.
I cannot understand why sooo many people reject that tightly-regulated race-engines win, & for the same principle/reason .. tightly-regulated-in-the-right-way economies win in the world-economy.
Ideology apparently prevents many from knowing the meaning, that is true, but good grief, it's obvious-as-hell, once seen, isn't it?
The tightest-economy has to be better than the sludge-corruption-and-inertia-economy, right?
