I doubt this was a Xi-sanctioned ‘testing’ of NATO’s response-time, a-la-Putin sending weekly Tu-95 propeller planes to see how quickly our F-35s will rendezvous with them over the Bering Strait, but… I guess, glad to see NATO can still ‘show-up,’ when they maybe, kinda, sorta need to. Otherwise, what a wake-up call for the cockpit! (“Oh, shiii..”)
America should pull out of NATO. It serves zero purpose for us to protect a bunch of sanctimonious Europeans who haven’t done a thing to help us since the Revolutionary War.
I could point out how NATO stepped up after 9/11 or how many European countries sent soldiers to fight and die in Afghanistan and Iraq, but at this point, I gotta say that China would be a much more reliable and trustworthy partner to Europe than America, so...
I agree. Not for the reason you wrote cause it is not ture, but I agree USA should pull out of NATO and every other international organisation. They should isolate themselves completely and leave the test of the world to live in peace.
Agreed. The world was so happy when Trump decided to build a wall all around the US. In fact, we were all rooting for you lot to build a wall, physical and digital, so that you could stay within - all of the lunatics, evangelists and pedophiles in a nice tight bunch. Except it’s Trump - literally everything he touches fails.
I hear the Islamic Republic of Japan will get you.

I'm guessing it was just pilot error or inattention. The quality of Cathy's pilots has taken a nosedive since the pandemic, when they basically got rid of all their expat pilots. The experience and talent level of the local Hong Kong pilots is way lower.
Hey genius, tell that to the families of the >1200 families who lost a NATO member in Afghanistan from 2001-2021.
Loser.
....and ALL for nothing, just because 1 crazy nation WATED to start a war, based on lies!
Well…Americans are terrorists so why would anyone help them with acts of terror?
Jared, watch out for those Persian samurai... 'a-la-who konichiwahhh!!'
Stay woke, everyone! I mean, awake! Watch out!!
Not to 'hijack' your comment, but using 'nosedive' to describe 'pilots' is a nice choice.
