In Dramatic Escalation, China Sends Five Navy Ships Off Alaska Coast For First Time Ever
Just as China celebrates the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II with an extravagant parade designed to showcase the country’s military prowess and project Xi Jinping’s power to nervous onlookers in the West, the Pentagon says it has spotted five Chinese Navy ships in the Bering Sea, just off the coast of Alaska.
Here’s WSJ:
Five Chinese navy ships are currently operating in the Bering Sea, off the coast of Alaska, the first time the U.S. military has seen such activity in the area, Pentagon officials said Wednesday.
The officials said they have been aware in recent days that three Chinese combat ships, a replenishment vessel and an amphibious ship were in the vicinity after observing them moving toward the Aleutian Islands, which are split between U.S. and Russian control.
They said the Chinese ships were still in the area, but declined to specify when the vessels were first spotted or how far they were from the coast of Alaska.
The Pentagon official said there were a “variety of opinions” on how to interpret the Chinese ships’ deployment.
“It’s difficult to tell exactly, but it indicates some interest in the Arctic region,” the official said. “It’s different.”
"Different" indeed, as in "uprecedented", and while we won’t endeavor to jump to conclusions, we would note that the PLA hasn’t exactly been shy when it comes to challenging the US from a maritime perspective of late and of course, the US has had its ships and carriers to the east and south of China for decades, so it would appear that Xi is intent on giving Washington a taste of its own medicine.
But don't worry, the Commander in Chief is on the scene - literally.
Finally, what better diversion from its crashing stock market on its national military holiday than for China to invade the US?

What's obama doing there? I don't see any bath houses.
I would just like to say once again, a BIG THANKS for offshoring all those jobs, technology and investment to China . . . .
ASSHOLES.
A dead banker, politician and federal government worker is called a good start!
Hey, isn't the fudgepacker in Alaska? What a coincidence. Simply amazing.
go Xi Jinping!
The world is in a dick beating contest and yet we're led by the smallest dick......
Leave the pres alone he's in the 57th state after all.
I think Mexico is the 57th state. Or is it Honduras?
A reminder, just in case anyone was tempted to buy into his latest "outdoor man" shtick...

The only way Obama could ever make it to the summit of Mt. McKinley is if the praetorian guard carried his wuss ass up there. And it's not even a technically challenging climb, just a tiring one.
fun fact, climbers from Asia have the highest odds of dying on Denali... some of those deaths have included Everest and K2 veterans...
not technical... well, that's in the eye of the beholder I suppose, but it's certainly an expeditionary climb and it's quite deadly if you go up there thinking it's a walk in the park (pun intended)...
This time of year the mosquitoes will carry you away. I guess the Kenyan blood is sour.
Alaska is the last frontier and it's really for white people only because blacks are too lazy to do any frontier-ing, and lets face it, there is no place for ball players and sign/dancers there so I hope the fucker gets eaten by a grizzly.
A blantantly misleading fact. A walk in the park in my neighborhood can be quite deadly, in fact 7 people died on walks in the park last weekend... How many perished on McKinley again?
Seriously, the dangers on McKinley are duration, altitude, weather, ARROGANCE, and dumb luck (or some combination thereof). Dumb luck or arrgance killed Erhard Loretan on the Grünhorn (which is a day hike). Comparing McKinley to K2 is like comparing the West Ridge ascent of the Eiger (where good boots w/ crampons and a pair of ice axes will suffice) to the Magic Mushroom route (5.13a) on the Death Wall.
your reading comprehension sucks wrinkled balls... I didn't _compare_ Denali to Everest or K2, I said that people who had _climbed_ Everest and K2 encountered trouble on Denali...
goddamn but you're a raging retarded fuckstick... LEARN TO FUCKING READ and keep your ridiculous hair trigger on a leash... *idiot*
Grow up.
Responding to facts with ad hominems is childish.
The grimmacing with the 10 pound barbells is awesome.
He probably rode most of the way - in a GMC Denali.
Hilarious! I had to log in to give you a thumbs up Knuck.

<excuses>It always looks smaller when it's cold.</excuses>
Perhapse this is a from of "dick beating" or Sabre Rattling. Most likely they are practicing amphibious operations - specifically landing on a contested beach - while the Russians will practice and drill as a response to such an operation. That's my practical take.
...but if it ever became a dick *eating* contest, WATCH OUT WORLD!!
I am sure Senator Graham will back him up.
A tini peni.
NO EXPLANATION? NO PROBLEM, BLAME ISRAEL.
Yeah, because those cretins never do shit.
Even when israel has nothing to do with anything, some self-centered asshole has to come along and drop their name into it.
They get mad when they get singled out, they get sick of always taking the blame, but go for 5 minutes without hearing about them fuckwads, they have to remind you they exist. 'Cause Gawd forbid we forget about them.
Ohhh please, ohh please, oh please.....find the right target.
Isn't our dipshit man-child president up there being part of some "reality TV" show? I thought I heard that but it sounded so far-fethced my brain rejected it.
So, imagine this for a reality show: They're shooting out in the boonies somewhere when out of the bushes jump a bunch of special ops Chinese soldiers, kidnap him and drag him off to Beijing to be tried as a war criminal for his use of drones around the globe. I don't think I could stop laughing for a year.
I'd pay good money to see that...., you know real money, like gold money. Not that funny FED stuff.
YES! I wonder if ANYONE in our forces would lift a finger? I would be so giddy i couldn't act, outside of tossing a few gold's into your collection of course.
Maybe theyd ransom him back to us middle ages style. Fort knox gold for our worthless bonds or we send you his head in a box. That would be a tough one.
Exactly. Who would pay for a box?
I would literally piss myself laughing, and regret nothing.

You'd stop laughing just as soon as Actin' Presidently Joe 'Plugs' Bided My Time & actin' VP John 'Weeping Cheeto' Bonehead took to TV to announce that the unemployed youth of America were going to be marched off to War to save Obama's worthless carcass from a just fate...
Nope, not even then. They volunteeed to serve under this guy.

Nice picture of bear bait
I thought it was a bear turd.
Kodiak shit is bigger than that.
It's browner, too.
Maybe so, but the aroma is worse than granny's outhouse.
Please please, just one hungry Nanuq in the area.
And Barry, you gotta take yur shirt off and ride a horse if your going to copy a Putin real mans vaca. epic fail, your still a wimp
He should have put some mom jeans on, and jumped on a road bike with a helmet on, or something.
Is there a General Tsao among you who would fight?
General Tsao is chicken... nyuk, nyuk, nyuk...
Thank you. I'll be here all night.
Ya think Colonel Sanders could beat General Tsao?
I think Colonel Sanders would carve him up into pieces and boil him in oil...
Thank you. Thank you. What a wonderful audience.

This is getting like toally radical man. Far out!
Did Palin see them?
"Where is the 1st hole?"
You're looking at him....... oh, my bag. I thought you said 1st asshole.
Since Lehman?
No worries, these are actually just Chinese "food trucks" operating in international waters...
Obama ordered Chinese takeout and this was the closest delivery in Alaska.
Um...
Is it like --- 'on' now...?
What happens when you blow up too many commercial chemical depots in the space of 1 month!...
You get a few ships harmlessly sailing by.
I have to admit it is a good psyopp on the US mentality to start seeing foreign warships in the area. Next they should patrol the west and east coasts so they get photographed a lot.
The U.S. Navy crawls up everybody elses ass and now the Chinese have a legitimate reason with several dozen killed and god knows how many more that will have there health affected for years to come from that incident in Tianjin alone.
At some point the U.S. military is going to keep writing checks it's "body" can no longer pay for...
Whatever your inflated opinion of American military might after Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen... Vietnam... We never seem to finish what we start!!!
I thought I'd add the visual cause I love the line and more importantly the character "I've seen what you can do to little boys, now let's see how ya do when they come a little bigger"...
Just put slanted eyes on him this time!!!
Maybe Chinese discovered source of "chemical" explosions
The co-ordinance are 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW... have at it.
Coordinates!!!!
Oh no, we need ordinance FOR the coordinates. You are both right.
Whatever. The chinese made a "deal" with the devil in 1971...
..they do, however, have over 1 million active duty soldiers (that we know of). What is our active duty force again?
"laws" and "borders" look great on paper...
According to Global Firepower dot com...
Active Frontline Personnel: 1,400,000
Active Reserve Personnel: 1,100,000
Horny active duty soldiers with the m/f ratio over there.
No where for testosterone overload to go except to war.
Who knew snow melted during the summer in Alaska?
The Alaska Bush People?
http://starcasm.net/archives/320928
I am not, however, convinced that they know that it gets colder in the winter.
Not Bath House Barry.
We'll give them what for for giving us a taste of our own medicine!
More medicine!!
Chinese are inspecting their assets:
Alaska and Montana.
No prisoners.
Bath House Barry: "I surrender unconditionally."
American genocide.
didn't realize china was such a big mckinley fan
sad part is, the renaming of the mountain to denali is the most visible thing ive see obama do all of 2015
Forward, Soviet!!
Rumor has it he's going to rename the Washington monument "Reggie"
McKinrey! Denari! Whadafuk!
Wow, Reggie, I can whack off to the Chinese Navy! Are their soldiers Gay?
Maybe, Swing your dick at them!
All these Chicoms could invade the US and make me the Emperor!
Go for it, baby!
I can see China from Alaska!
what's good for the goose is good for the gander
They're here to repossess the country
I'll take alaska for a trillion vlad.
Arrest Lloyd Blankfein. End the FED and shut down Goldman Sachs before it is too late.
Nothing to see here, its not like they fired a missile off the coast of CA or something.
About a year ago, Jim Willie half-jokingly suggested that Russia would take back Alaska and China would take Hawaii as partial payment of debts once the Almighty Dollar became mortal. I'm starting to wonder if the reset of the name of Mt. McKinley back to its native designation (and which was parallelled during her Russian administration) might not be a step in that direction.
For those history geeks and tin-foil hat types who want to muse over the signficance of the Reset of Mt. McKinley, I blogged about this two days ago:
https://sedonadeb.wordpress.com/2015/08/31/the-reset-of-mt-mckinley/
That would actually stimulate the economy. Think about it - we'd need new flags made with 48 stars once again. They could of course be made in China for all of those freedom-lovers to wave and salute at sporting events.
See? Silver lining.
Operation Guillotine.
China is playing around while Obama is trying to figure out why Ice melts in the hot summer sun.
Why complain about global warming - then order a new ICE breaker? Just wait for the Ice to melt by itself?
When Citadel, the unofficial arm of the Fed and employer of Bernanke, is using HFT to blow up the Chinese markets, expect some blowback.
Patriotic Chinese will be buying iPhones and Buicks in droves
ChiComs taking the Fallout 4 release a bit too seriously.
no doubt watching for increased glacial water flows....the hot airthere this week could, unto itself cause massive global flooding...
Most likely they are practicing amphibious operations - specifically landing on a contested beach - while the Russians will practice and drill as a response to such an operation. That's my practical take. I'm open to suggestions that this is also a form of saber rattling.
That's not a dramatic escalation.
If they were off the coast of Vichy Washington - sure.
But ZOG HQ is far, far awa' from Jewel Kilcher's family...

Get O out of there. With all the hot air that flows from his piehole, he'll melt all the ice up there.
Dont worry Obama will send Admiral Caitlan Jenner(or currently available equivalent) to intercept
China has invaded every city and country already.
Name a city that doesn't have a Chinatown in the world, could it mean something in the future who knows?
Greenville, SC has no Chinatown.
Well... it has a Chinatown Restaurant, but that's about it.
Are they gonna build some sand castles in Alaska!!
Nice, more "made in china" (copied from whatever they could understand from the Russians) destroyers.
More targets for the USNavy, A turkey shoot on the Behring sea.
i bet a storm comes and fucks those ships up. god loves amerika because we are the chosen nation of exceptional dominance.
we fuck you!
That looks dangerous. Shouldn't he be wearing his safety helmet?
Hunting a gobbler? I know chicken is popular in China - but turkey?
How do you say "Deadliest Catch" in Chinese? They're just there for the king crab, I'm sure.
Somebody give Sig Hansen a shotgun and he'll take care of the slanty f**ks.
The C o m m u n i s t s are gathering to offer Trump an offer he can't refuse.
bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Maybe they just want to name a mountain in the region
Mount Wei Tu Hi.
No wonder freight is down fro China?!
I'm surprised their shitty steel can handle the arctic temperatures. Their cutlery can't even handle my dishwasher!
Agreed, but there is an alternative.

Quality is your best value but I guess bitching is easier.
There's something ironic about Americans making their own spoons.
Boy would it be nice if the Chinese hit that schmuck with a 500 lb bomb. Could an entire country turn a cheek? Yes.
Dutch Harbor is the new Pearl Harbor....?
Dramatic escalation? From what? Nothing? Talk about headline hype.
Like a yapping Shih Tzu. We're quaking in our boots. Hell, 35 years ago you couldn't even feed yourself. We're the main market for your crap without which your economy would crash to nothing and your starving natives would then get very restless. And how about that paper "money" of ours you so stupidly accepted and used to buy those treasuries (only 7% of the total of all issued), all of which could be nullified to nothing with a stroke of a pen. Nah, we've got YOU by the balls...

"Nah, we've got YOU by the balls..."
Which is precisely what the Chinese war planners want you to believe.
Point of fact- the EU is a much larger market for their crap
I for one am glad if/when the SHTF, that CANADA is on our side.
They have 6 icebreakers to our 2.
Next come the dredges and in a few months there will be new Chinese islands just off Alaska. Complete with female Chinese soldiers, puppies and bomber capable airstrips.
It's shocking how easily life imitates art when, after years of selling your military secrets to the enemy, you elect a weak narcissist of a Marxist cocksucker to the Oval Office. I highly recommend this entertaining book. The real war it foreshadows, not so much.
Invasion Alaska: Invasion America, Book I
In this controversial book, Vaughn Heppner explores the theme of a shattered America facing the onslaught of the new colossus in the East: Greater China. The time is 2032, and the Chinese are crossing the polar ice and steaming through the Gulf of Alaska. They have conquered oil-rich Siberia and turned Japan into a satellite state. Now a new glacial period has begun, devastating the world’s food supply. China plans to corner the world’s oil market and buy the needed food for their hungry masses.
Most all novels in that genre start that way.

Where's Sarah P when she's needed?
Probably loading up her Moose rifle and waiting for targets!
No matter what Bath House Barry wears... he still looks like a craven little douchebag bonesmoker.
The Chinese don't need to invade as the US politicians and oligarchs have managed to destroy the US all by themselves.
Has Hillary's mail server received this encrypted Chinese message?
Alarska is just America's South China Sea
Chinese are just practicing their international right of free movement in public ocean as US always preached to China
NOT GOOD!!!!
Duct tape barry to the front of the air craft carrier that has 200 or so drones and bomb the fuck out of these fucking communists.
YOU FUCKING WEAKLING COCKSUCKER BARRY!!!!
I hope China pounds the Useless Snakes for their bombing of Tanjian
Fuck the USA
You are an insightful, eloquent lad. Thanks for sharing.
I have little doubt that the Pacific Fleet can dominate any area around it, but the Pacific is a big Ocean. If the U.S. decides to control the South China Sea, then China will head for Alaska. With military cutbacks, and with spreading US forces all over the globe, I am doubtful we could stop even a small Chinese invasion of Alaska. I also think the types of land based planes we have in Alaska are designed more to intercept Russian bombers (or to launch nukes at Russia) - and would suffer in naval combat.
Sounds like China is testing it's Blue Water Navy.
I'll have to look for the Smart Comments on this.
- Would guess if China has build Islands, they have the equivalent of a NAVY CBs/Engineering Unit to build Bunkers and lay down portable Runways on the Aleutian Islands
so we've got russian planes flying off the california coast and now this, i wouldnt be surprised if given the opportunity and in a weakened state we actually got invaded by russia & china. they're just waiting. far fetched?
Who would want to invade a country of fatass morons with bad water and roads? Not to mention crap food.
they're just feeling us out right now, seeing what are responses are.
I wouldn't mind feeling out some hot chinese broads right now.
Suzy Wong
The water is fine if you don't mind the added neurotoxins.
Who would want to invade a country of fatass morons with bad water and roads? Not to mention crap food.
There already is a pretty nice Chinese restaurant at Denali National Park. Maybe the Chinese sailors wanted some home cooking!
Shhhhhhh, it's a meet up w/ BO.
Spidey sense tells me that these sorts of manoeuvers are likely coordinated beforehand with Russian counterparts. Both nations have long already been labeled 'enemies' by the U.S., so why not face a likewise 'common enemy' together...?
Correct the godddam Useless Snakes have been spreading lies about Russia and China and even bombin Tanjian
Russia/China and others need to give the Useless Snakes of Americunts a well deserved asskicking.
Alfred your so angry today.
Take a breath.
He does, but not without a bong to his face.
Can we hope for the Russians and Chinese to help us overthrow the banksters, NeoCons and NeoLibs, PNAC, AIPAC, Soros, Zuckerberg an dthe other zoligarchs?
Lloyd Blankfein in a gullotine would be a show of good faith to the American people.
Wow, good timing and coincidence by the Chinese -- Obama will appease them by renaming McKinley to Mao Maontain.
The Chinese loaded their space station with water balloons or other stuff to drop on the EVIR AMERICANS.
Wonder what the Americans have in their space station to drop on the Chinese?
Oh, that's right. The Americans don't have a space station.
Americans don't even know how to get to the space station they share with the Russians.
(they have to call uber)
LOL! Putin should paint the Russian supply ships with uber on them.
NASA is like a freaking joke where they have to claim that Bat Boy is on Mars to keep getting their funding.
The funniest shit is some young NASA guy getting recently all excited about a remake of the command modules they want to build. He talks about how they have not figured out how to shield it from the Van Allen Belt. Whoops!
