close call it seems…
how soon we forget Boyington…
(I know it probably has little to do with recent events, but it’s the most prominent memory I have of an American bomber group near China…)

that was a very well orchestrated intercept. Under control at all times. We do the same thing.

Tons of fearmongering right now, lot of it from the media.
I need to dig out some of the predictions at the begining of the Ukraine war that within 12 months NATO would be fighting in the Ukraine and soem sort of limited nuclear strike would have occurred.
Sure this sort of ■■■■ can kick off but then again we could have an invasion from outerspace tomorrow. Most of the predictions never come close to being true

Intercepts are normal. Ten feet is close. But not unsafe as long as both sides are on their Ps and Qs. Which seems like how this turned out. Both the Chinese pilot and the American B-52 crew handled this very professionally.
