China has rejected the legitimacy of the UNCLOS or something with their territorial disputes in the SCS.

The limit is like 200 miles from the continental shelf or some poo poo I think I never pay attention to that poo poo. Its more than 12 miles.

Territorial waters is 12 miles, that�s generally not in dispute. The exclusive economic zone extends 200 miles, or to the limit of the continental shelf, whichever is greatest - but that�s not territorial waters, it just means the coastal state gets exclusive use of the resources. Oil and fish and wind farms.

Where it gets complicated is where you have islands (hence the issue with China and the South China Sea), because each island gets its own bubble around it, and the waters within an archipelago belongs to that state.

But also if there�s a passage between two oceans then that�s an international strait and�

In summation international law is made up and more of a set of guidelines, but the 12 miles territorial water limit is a pretty solid and internationally recognized thing.

That�s a whole different set of rules that has little, if anything, to do with UNCLOS. (It�s MARPOL VI, with a touch of �gently caress you, we�re the US / China / the EU, we do what we want�)

CSB reenactment vid when

dunno if they'll actually do one given that they usually cover failures of process controls, not so much "oh gently caress a train derailed" events. they did have one recently related to an accident triggered by torrential flooding though

This is going to be an NTSB investigation, so no Unreal video, sadly.

My sister quit believing in a Christian god after her church group leader earnestly explained that no, pets don�t go to Heaven because they can�t profess their faith in Jesus Christ.

Actually pets can�t go to hell because they can�t sin, and they don�t need to be baptized because they�re not affected by the original sin. Check SMDFB 69:420

And ye who disagrees shall face the wrath of my buttons.

If you put a propeller on it it�s not a balloon anymore it�s a dirigible.

I agree it is generating useful intelligence, but is also a very hostile act that is getting a lot of the US population and political establishment fearful and irritated which could lead to meaningful damage to China, far beyond the value of air defense data could be worth. I�d understand if the flights weren�t being detected, and I�m sure we are doing something similar, but Gary Powers being busted made the US lose a lot more face than the Soviets did.

Yeah, Canadian airspace is part of NORAD as Canadian NORAD Region (CANR). Makes sense as any serious intrusion especially during the Cold War would likely be aimed at the US and it would be strongly in Canada�s interest to help, especially as they�d get the benefit of the world�s largest military budget for their national defense. Like why they don�t need a nuclear program and can have a relatively small Navy despite having the world�s longest coastline.

Well the US literally said they�d shoot down the Russian bombers over our southern airspace if we didn�t join, and that�s where everyone live.

As for the size of the navy, that�s more of a budget thing. Nobody has a navy the size of the US�s, coastline or not, because nobody spends that much on defence.

And this is why I use MFA and facial recog anywhere I can. Oh and my phone never leaves my line of sight, you�ll need to have me at gunpoint to get access to it.

Facial recog isn�t great because the cops can just hold the phone to your face and unlock it.

Alternatively, someone could kill you and hold your phone to your face, but at that point you�ve got other issues than your Twitter account getting jacked.
