the problem of working with the corrupt is that the corrupt are usually the terribly inefficient ones tooThe recently announced EDCA deal between Marcos and Brandon isn't gonna go smoothly as they're hoping for or thought.
Pretty sure about that. Especially encirclement of China. Japs, Filipinos, Hindies, lapdog taiwanese and the world's worse hyprcrite and lieing thug to form a gang of five to demonlise and restrict China's sealanes and developments . Fat hope!! Even an unmanned, drifted meterogical ballon scared the shits out of petagon's pants and its inept president! Motives of uncle sam stick out like a dog's balls.I think America got his balls. Marco's wealth would be confiscated if he didn't do what the CIA tells him to do.
Marcos is going full throttle to America's sideInvitation to Japan, it is clear that the relationship between Philippines and China would deteriorate under Marcos.
Bro let's see IF Japan will open its wallet, I doubt they will and Marcos will go to China again with begging bowl in hand asking for alms.Invitation to Japan, it is clear that the relationship between Philippines and China would deteriorate under Marcos.
Well bro think it this way, the US guarantee our security and Japan with economic assistance, both can't deliver like the situation in SCS and less than stellar Japanese financial loan and investment (too small), so what happen, Marcos try to use it as leverage BUT the Chinese tell him to fxxk off.Marcos is going full throttle to America's side
Of course, that was to be expected if people subscribed to the American Empire geopolitical framework. Philippines is merely a vassal state, and vassal states aren't allowed to have an independent foreign policy
Again bro you need to drink your Kool aid to cool down, it's not about China , it's about consolidating the bloc as Indonesia is showing leadership. We in ASEAN are seeing trouble in our neighborhood and we are concern, as I said China is our neighbor and we are looking forward to see its rise in prominence because a prosperous China can lift all of us like a tide. You want proof then see the result from G20 summit as a prime example of where ASEAN is going. The American are getting desperate, a cheap win in the Philippine with the so called base access is nothing in the context of geopolitical issues as it contribute nothing strategically for the US. What matters for China are Indonesia, Thailand and Myanmar, those are strategic countries. With the construction of Chinese artificial island in the SCS negate the importance of the Philippine as prime real estate as that region become a Chinese lake.Tension in South China sea helps USA and weakens image of china. Vietnam & Indonesia have resolved their south china sea claim and it seems like everybody wants their piece from china in South China sea.
