This is funny thread material.
There is no third rate politics thread. Haha!
Let's not kid ourselves of what is happening here.
1. Philippines has a problem with China with some islands in South China Sea.
2. Philippines wants the US Navy, the JMSDF, and RAN, to come patrol the area, and potentially start World War 3.
3. Why the navy of those countries? It is too far away for coast guard.
4. Why does the Philippines not do it themselves? They don't got a navy.
5. Why would the United States, Japan, and Australia, start World War 3, on behalf of the Philippines who do not even have a navy?
6. Okay, this is getting too much, kind of bizarre. Russia and Ukraine at war. Philippines wants the same kind of thing to happen here, but they do not have to fight, because they don't have the navy to do it, so all the others will solve the problem for them.
7. The Chinese are trying to bait the Americans to get involved. Then turn on the water cannon!
