China in Alaska
September 15, 2021 - Today the world has learned two things. First, 55% of Pakistanis openly support the Taliban. Secondly, Chinese warships were found in Alaskan waters between August 29 and August 30 of 2021.
So two weeks after China literally invaded U.S. territory we hear about it from India. American outlets, obviously, picked up the story shortly thereafter. Why have we not treated this behavior as an act of war? It is an act of war. China is literally at war with…well, everyone, but primarily the United States. This is not a secret, it’s public information.
Personally, I don’t see them provoking the U.S. too much. Not until they have annexed Taiwan by force. Taiwan is a country that some consider to be the “real’ China. Makes sense, since Taiwan is where Chang Kai Shek (Kai Shrek , lol) fled to during Mao’s communist takeover. I probably spelled the name wrong, but whatever.
Point is, China intends to start with Taiwan. Even the conflict at the Indian border will stay on the backburner for now.
I haven’t yet found the White House’s response, but WION and TFI Global reported that “Joe Biden did nothing” and “President Biden offered only a muted response”. Goddamn it Joe Biden, you’re making it really difficult for me to keep convincing people that you’re actually The Christ Our Lord. (See “His Message For You” link at the top of the website).
This article is being written while I’m scoping out the various news channels that reported on the Chinese intrusion on the Alaskan EEZ, and I see a link to “US Coast Guard attacks 4 Chinese Warships Sailing Near Alaska’s Aleutian Islands”, published on Sep 15, 2021. Well now, pardon me while I watch this video. Perhaps Papa Joe did respond, after all.
Well goddamn, that’s a pretty damn big EEZ. I still haven’t come to the part where the USCG fired on the PLAN ships, though. The video did have a couple tidbits, quoted below. I was going to re-watch it, but then the next video is supposedly China attacking a Navy ship in the South China Sea.
“The Chinese government has expansive territorial claims over this body of water, which are widely rejected by other countries in the region and by the international community at large.” - Fact.
“Hopefully, when Chinese warships pass through the Caribbean Sea or show up near Hawaii and Guam one day, the US will uphold the same standard of freedom of navigation; that day will come soon.” -

This image isn’t actually about the USS Benfold.
Apparently a Navy destroyer, the Benfold, conducted a freedom of navigation operation routine. After completion, the USS Benfold went back to wherever it came from. Naturally, China started telling the world that they “chased the American vessel out of the region”.
The U.S. Navy disputes this claim.
“But Rocky!” you say, “What about China in Alaska?”
Well, that’s a good question. Seems like this story taught us more about everything that didn’t involve Chinese warships in Alaska. So I searched Yahoo! images for , “what bout china in Alaska”. It auto-corrected the search to “what about china in Alaska”. Well, not auto-correct, but the thing where it searches for what it assumes you mean, even if you don’t mean it.
I got lots of pictures. Of AK-47’s. Just kidding, they’re really AK-56’s. The Chinese version, apparently. I assume it breaks a lot. Load more images….more guns. Specifically the gun used by the PLA….load more….more AK’s.
Jesus Christ. I mean…Joe Biden. “China in Alaska” results in a deluge of images of the AK-56. Considering the amount of control China exerts over the Western general internet (you know, the censored part of the web that 99% of people never venture outside of…the Google internet), this doesn’t feel like a coincidence.
Alright, that’s enough of this clickbait story. I mean, I’m not too pleased that the CCP feels safe entering American waters, and I’m super unimpressed with the lack of a fierce national response…but hardly surprised. Time to watch the Seattle Real Estate Podcast with Sean Reynolds.
