What good is "ready to aid Philippine" while this is happening? Is it like how US is ready to defend Japan under their security treaty and says Diaoyu Island is covered by the treaty, and the "help" consists of US going "look, he's there, do something!" whenever CCG has ships patrolling those islands? (which these days is something like 360 days out of 365 a year)
Does US have the correct resources to fight in grey zone warfare in SCS? If not what then? Open war with USN? In that bath tub of an area under the gaze of PLARF?
If all they do is talk and publish photos like this in the media without actually doing anything about it, who's looking weak then?

There is a plan between PH and the US about the SCS.hold on a sec.
is the ph situation actually spiralling out of control or is it just the usual media circus?
I think the China's plan is to wait for PH to sign on to the South China Sea code of conduct this year. If PH doesn't sign it then we will know what Marco Jr's words are worth and we'll see more escalations from China.There is a plan between PH and the US about the SCS.
They want to stage a crisis so that the PH public gets more enraged and thus allow for even closer alignment (vassalage) with the US. In addition, it would also ignite SCS feelings against China throughout ASEAN's countries which could force their leaders to align more with the US
Marcos made his intentions clear with giving new bases to the US. When someone tells you who they are, you better believe themI think the China's plan is to wait for PH to sign on to the South China Sea code of conduct this year.
