US Navy Chickens Out In Taiwan Straits

Global Hawk flies at 60,000 feet

1. Four years ago on June 20, 2019, Iran shot down a US RQ-4A Global Hawk drone which was obviously flying too close to or over Iranian airspace. The drone fell inside Iranian territory. Immediately after the incident the British were the first to suspend all aerial surveillance operations in the area. The Americans too stopped flying their drones and planes anywhere near Iran. 

Moral of the story : You shoot them down they leave you alone.

 

2. On 14 March 2023, a Russian Su-27 fighter jet (video above) intercepted and damaged an American MQ-9 Reaper drone near Crimea, causing it to crash into the Black Sea. The Su-27 performed a slick manouevre by spraying jet fuel in front of the US drone which 'burned out' the drone's sensors. The  SU-27 also caused swirls and air turbulence which caused the US drone to lose control and crash.  Since then the Americans stopped flying their drones and planes anywhere near Crimea. 

Moral of the story : You take  them down they leave you alone.

 

 

Dont mess with the Chinese even in the Arafura Sea

 

3. In 2022 a Chinese warship used a military laser to “illuminate” an Australian Air Force plane in international waters (picture above). The Australian plane had been dropping sonobuoys in the water directly in the path of the Chinese warship. The sonobuoys could record the ship sounds (engines, propellers) which can be used to program torpedoes to target the ship much easier. Deliberately dropping any objects in the path of a moving warship is an act of war. So the Chinese warship used its laser and lit up the Aussie airplane. The Australian pilots targeted by the laser suffered disorienting flashes in their vision and they quickly pulled away and left the ship alone.

Moral of the story : You shoot a laser at them and they leave you alone.

4. A few days back an American and another Canadian navy ship sailed thousands of kilometers from Canada and the US West Coast to deliberately cut a passage through  the narrow Taiwan Straits between China and Taiwan. The Chinese Navy shadowed them closely and at one point cut off the US vessel and told them to leave the area. The Chinese warship came within 150 yards of the American vessel which had to change its course to avoid a collission. Here is a quick video:

 

Moral of the story : You cut them off and their navy ships will cut and run.

 

The British, the Americans, the Aussies and Canadians (the Four Great Anglo-Saxon Satans) do not project higher values  anymore. They have weapons, weapons and more weapons which they use wantonly. They bomb, kill, maim, destroy and just insanely love to shed human blood. Wherever you find the British, Americans, Aussies and Canadians involved around the world (lets not forget the French either) that is where they shed human blood. 

Their culture, their upbringing, their mothers and fathers, their grandmas and grandpas have engraved into their psyche this insane bloodlust to shed human blood.  And to cause destruction and hardship for people. There is something seriously wrong with these folks. This has to be stopped. Forcefully if necessary.

They are not defending freedom or protecting the world's trade routes. China is the largest trading nation in the world. Keeping global trade routes open is more important for China than for the UK or the US combined. The UK and the US are the bad guys now. They must be put inside the bottle. Otherwise they will be put inside the box.

Understand that bullies will always cut and run. That is the nature of bullies. Bullies are low risk predators. They will not stand and fight for anything of virtue or for anything good. That is too much risk for them. They just want to hit someone, grab something and run. If you break their legs or shoot them down the bullies will go away. That is their nature.

The Chinese did not have lasers before. Now they do. Neither did they have 7,000 ton naval ships that can 'suddenly increase speed and out manouevre US navy destroyers'. Now they do. The  Chinese ships in the Taiwan Straits were much faster and more advanced than the smaller American and Canadian 'boats'.  

What they should do is seriously consider sinking one of the British ships.

That will certainly make them go home for tea in double quick time.
