U.S. Military Intercepts Chinese and Russian Bombers Ahead of Biden Speech
Townhall ^ | 07/24/2024 | Paula Bolyard

North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) announced that the U.S. military intercepted two Russian and two Chinese bombers in the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) on Wednesday ahead of Joe Biden's speech.

NORAD detected, tracked, and intercepted two Russian TU-95 and two PRC H-6 military aircraft operating in the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) on July 24, 2024. NORAD fighter jets from the United States and Canada conducted the intercept.

The Russian and PRC aircraft remained in international airspace and did not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace. This Russian and PRC activity in the Alaska ADIZ is not seen as a threat, and NORAD will continue to monitor competitor activity near North America and meet presence with presence.

According to the U.S. Army, the Tupolev Tu-95 "Bear" is a "large, four-engine turboprop-powered strategic bomber and missile platform." The Xian H-6 (Hōng-6) is "a license-built version of the Soviet Tupolev Tu-16 twin-engine jet bomber, built for China's People's Liberation Army Air Force." 

According to Air&Space Forces Magazine:

The event was the first time Russian and Chinese military aircraft entered the Alaska ADIZ at the same time, a U.S. defense official told Air & Space Forces Magazine. It was also the first time Chinese H-6s have encroached on the area, the official added.

It has begun. The testing of American weakness under near-dead Joe and brain-dead Kamala.

Probing and checking. Wanting to know what we would do, if anything.

No one has the guts to ask “President” Biden for a reaction.
He thinks the great and courageous Putin is leading Ukraine and his Vice President Trump was chosen for talent and not DEI.

Kamala can inform him “a country next to Russia is Ukraine and Russia is a big country and Ukraine is a small country. Next to Russia, which is bigger.”

And she gives that annoying raised eyebrows look like a teacher telling a 2nd grader about multiplication for the very first time.

I reached my limit with Hillary and Elizabeth Warren for that Karen stuff.

"Probing and checking.

Would America shoot them down if those planes decided
to just violate the border and overfly Anchorage
or USAF airbases in Alaska? The Biden Regime is allowing
millions of foreigners to just stroll over the southern
border. Why not Russian and Chinese bombers overflying
Alaska or California or Hawaii?

Nothing short of a huge message after Biden sent bombers to Russia. The message is cut it out or face us both

It’s going to be a long six months. I’m surprised China hasn’t absorbed Taiwan yet.

Gutfeld had a guest on that made several great points one was why do people trying to sound important basically yell, she has the personality of a bed pan and in response to her repeated ad nauseam future /past mantra, you know how it is not wise? Because no one repeats it or as Greg pointed out it is like someone trying to start a chant and no one follows

Both xiden and camel toe are the same, figure heads doing what they are told, difference is she can at least form words you know time, space, past, future, big, small….

The thing is, she will have the backing of the deep state/ media/ dim sheeple so wouldn’t underestimate her

They have been doing it since the fifties.

They already know that Biden did nothing to stop a Chinese spy balloon from flying across the country, collecting sensitive military data along the way and transmitting it back to China.

TU 95 Bear bombers have buzzed the edge of our airspace in Alaska for decades. This is the first time I have heard of a Chicom aircraft doing this.

Does the victim know it’s injured?

I told my wife when Joe said he was pulling out of the race that we’re about to start seeing other countries making
their moves. Barring a Kamala win, this is about as weak as America is going to predictably get. And a weakened America is always bad news for the world. China could walk right into Taiwan and it’d be up to them to save themselves. Probably the same is true for South Korea. Our leaders are so weak and limp-wristed, we could probably get nuked and not retaliate because of some stupid environmentalist notion, not to mention our president is so senile and so far gone, he’d open the nuclear football and try to order ice cream from it.

We are a totally destroyed mess and our enemies have to be laughing their asses off at us for the circus we currently are. The next 6 months are going to be a complete nightmare for the world.

Hopefully, China and/or Russia will attack between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., but the question is what time zone? Joe and/or Kamala will respond within 9 days with a speech saying they're aware of the attacks, and will have a report ready in 30 days.
