  1. what US is doing there? A million dollar question.

  2. Snapping a mosquito that practicing free air navigation near your ear. 😊 US here is both the annoying mosquito and a paper tiger.

  3. The World needs a strong leader again…
    We need President Trump. ❤️🙏

  4. “Possible” aggression 😂😂

    And thats why America will lose to the Chinese.

  5. It's so funny that the Americans call the Chinese acting "Aggressively"… The Americans sailed all the way across the world to do this and cause trouble, and the Chinese are the troublemakers? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! Not buying the American BS.

  6. So people in the US, tell me if there are two armed homeless people slowly sneaking by and spying ur house in front ur driveway and about to trans pass. What would you do? Welcome them to the public street?

  7. The Chinese ship thinks that was the only vessel within yds of it. He probably has a shadow real close

  8. If America fights China, I, as a Turk, would like to be a soldier in the American army. If there is such a war, may God protect the American army and make it victorious.

  9. Then who filmed this video that close???

  10. I’m rooting for the Orcas

  11. They're obviously getting closer at spying for their own ship blueprints

  12. chinese aggression? it's more like western colonizers white supremacist aggression 😂😂

  13. So the Chinese warship was close to its territorial waters but the US warship was thousands of miles away from its territorial waters. Who would you say is the one antagonising? The US has manipulated the current war in Ukraine, the US blew up Europes gas supply lines, the US was involved in the Sudan conflict and the US has bases all over the world in other peoples countries. Who do you think is the problem to achieving a stable peaceful world? Which country depends on their defence industry to survive commercially?

  14. For those that don’t understand:
    USA is digging a hole, for its citizens, while blaming others.
    Nothing new

  15. They should have fired on that ship ?

  16. If the american ship is in beetween the chinese mainland and the chinese island uninvited by the chinese government they should have never been there in the first place trying to provoke the chinese government

  17. This is a testimony to the friendship between China and the United States. The United States deliberately went to their military exercise area at the door of China, in order to fall in love with China.

  18. Why do you want to go to the border of China, and it is the aircraft carrier military exercise zone in China

  19. Nato wants to try to bully everybody Russia and China too much going on and there might be an escalation soon with either one or both countries

  20. I hope China will defeat the ugly CCP. Freedom to China! Victory to Taipei! Victory to the Hong Kong braves! Meet Godzilla!

  21. ‘We are sinking. We are sinking. I repeat, we are sinking.’

    Germans: ‘Vat are you sinking about?’

  22. Thankfully the Canadian ship was taking a tik tok video.

  23. All that money on defence and what are you bord nothing better to do

  24. Are you humbled or are you proud

  25. This administration is weak ,and Joe Biden is compromised 100%. America needs to stop relying on the government. Most Americans are busy working and paying taxes. Please pay attention to what is going on. The American people matter, not corruption cause of power. BE SMART. l love America, and so do you.

  26. China knows we are weak and our leader is a joke…

  27. This how wars start…dont laugh ..

  28. The actually point of difference is china don't need to manipulate anyone accountable to anyone fear to anyone
    But every usa politician need to do above 3 because they are in so called democracy

  29. The US gov employees are definitely Compromise

  30. Innocent neat miss imho – Chinese guy is out enjoying a fishing trip when he suddenly gets a very big bite which drags the ship dangerously close to the US navy destroyer – its lucky the catch broke the line or we could have had another gulf of tonk-in incident. Anyone for Sushi?

  31. Wow. Wait, what tf are you doing in China sea ? How rude of the Chinese for not treating you with fine gift and dinner.

  32. Let me ask everyone a question. The so-called unsafe and unprofessional incidents mentioned by the US officials, why do they always happen near China's airspace and territorial waters, but not in the vicinity of other countries' airspace and territorial waters? I think this question is worth pondering.
