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.
Why do you still read them? (Edit: I'm not being snarky, I'm curious why)
Every few months I forget why I stopped reading comment sections and dip back into unmoderated comments on news sites. It's awful.
I think I often hope occasionally reporting comments helps slowly make the platforms better. But it really doesn't seem to 😞
A long time ago, every comment on YouTube was vitriol. It didn't matter what the video was, every single comment was pure poison. Today you can safely read the comments on videos that don't have political context. Of course anything political is going to be completely overrun with state level astroturfing, extremists, and mouth breathers. Occasionally I'll accidentally read the comments on something political, forgetting that comments should be off-limits for that video.
Comments are full of bots
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
Shoot them down and they won't play fuck-fuck games next time.
That's what Turkey did to Russia and Russia didn't make a peep and haven't bothered them since.
That's what turkey did after theirs got shot down first.
There is some more context to that event and it's aftermath.
Yes. Let's just add that final nudge to get world war three kicked off in earnest.
Shoot them down
This is why kids don't run a country (except for America when they need a stooge). You need the brains god have a gnat to not start wars between superpowers.

Uh, they already do that. We generally don't buzz the planes and antagonize them
How would we feel if they sent spy balloons directly over our countries?
