Dashing Through the Snow, In a Party PLA

China moves north. Their ambitions are astounding.

China has ventured far north:

Multiple Chinese military ships were spotted by the U.S. Coast Guard in the waters off Alaska, officials said in a news release on Wednesday

Three vessels were detected about 124 miles north of the Amchitka Pass in the Aleutian Islands, and a fourth ship was spotted about 84 miles north of the state's Amukta Pass. The ships were seen on Saturday and Sunday.

Why, you may ask.

Because in addition to Russia trying to expand its control in the Arctic, China--despite not bordering the Arctic Sea--seeks a piece of the territorial pie by posing as a "near Arctic state."

I sh*t you not.

Years ago I urged Canada to at least defend its far north

Canada may finally be acting.This is big, if Canada truly takes the final steps of putting them in service

The Canadian government announced today it is “taking the first steps” towards buying 12 conventionally-powered, under-ice capable submarines — a massive acquisition with numerous shipbuilders from the around world already eyeing the program reported to be worth at least $60 billion Canadian dollars.

Those Canadian submarines will be busy if China continues on this path to take the seas tonight. And sing this preying song.
