New vaccine mandates for 100 million Americans: What you need to know Attorney denies Prince Andrew's been served with Virginia Giuffre's sex…
The U.S. Coast Guard recently released a set of pictures of the Legend class cutter USCGC Bertholf shadowing a group of four Chinese warships sailing in America's Exclusive Economic Zone near Alaska's Aleutian Islands back in August. The emergence of these pictures follows the editor-in-chief of Global Times, a newspaper under the direct control of the Chinese Communist Party, taking to Twitter to criticize U.S. Navy operations in the Pacific that routinely challenge many of Beijing's widely disputed maritime territorial claims, especially in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait, and warn of tit-for-tat activities on the part of the People's Liberation Army Navy.
The pictures were shot between Aug. 29 and Aug. 30, 2021, but were only released through the U.S. military's Defense Visual Information Distribution Service (DVIDS) website more recently. The captions to the photographs, which have now, curiously, been removed from DVIDS, say they were taken "in international waters inside the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone [EEZ] off the Aleutian Island [sic] coast." It's not clear if any Chinese vessels are still inside the U.S. EEZ off the coast of Alaska...

This is their tit-for-tat ? How stoopid.
Maybe they are there to fish illegally using the warships as decoys. That area is teeming with fish.
Quickly! Cede the Aleutians, and leave them weapons and a pallet of cash, before they get too scary!
Maybe they’re sounding the sea floor to develop more accurate maps for their submarine force.
I am sure some rat 🐀 bastard has already thought of that.
None of what Biden and China have done is by accident. he was pre-paid via Hunter for the actions he now takes. Democrats even have the nerve to accuse us of being fascists then presume to tell us what to do with our own bodies. I viewed a video on how those hypocrite tyrants work, and you can check it out top of page at Whatfinger News in crawler link. Honestly leftists are the Borg come to life! The left are owned by communist China and have been since Bill Clinton and Algore took their money while running for reelection (Rush Limbaugh talked about that when it happened).
Dwight Schrute says it is “tit for tit”. Just saying.
And as soon as they can use those stolen submarine plans they’ll get right on those.
Obama armed ISIS, and Biden armed the Taliban. Nothing new.
Maybe they’ll take the Aleutians and skip Taiwan
They want to hog all of the Crabs. They may find a bunch of really pissed off Alaskan Bering Sea Crabbers having something to say about that.
The whole article on the War Zone fails to once mention that the Global Times, which is quoted often, is a CCP house organ. Not even the commenters make a note of that fact.
But then what is one to expect from a site that boosts the Democrat party and Biden? Or from a site which has purposely driven off all conservative commenters? The only service people who comment now seem to be bureaucrats, the warfighters long gone.
One of the commenters is at least astute enough to note that, like the 2015 PLAN excursion into the Bering, they are, among other things, surveying fish stocks in likely preparation for China’s 750,000 fishing fleet PLAN militia to begin stripping the Gulf and Bering of all life.
what are the odds we lose a ship somewhere within the next year or two ?
More likely shadowed by the Coast guard and a couple of boomers.
