Not all Philippine security apparatus are PRO-American, there are patriots who love their country and most of them are mid rank level because they don't play politics to advance their career. After Duterte left office there are ramblings inside the AFP of Nepotism, well they were political appointees so we expect that BUT not this obvious.
Nobody is listening to this SOB, he want to be heard to stay relevant BUT nobody is buying his crap except for one oligarch. Manny Pangilinan, he had business interest in PXP who had exploratory rights in that area. You can see his fingerprint on this latest escalation cause Carpio is under his payroll so you can connect the dot. It saddens me that after Duterte destroyed the oligarch influence in our national policy that Marcos facilitate its return. It all adds up, birds of a feather flock together.
Can i assume with the Philippines offering basing for US forces the south China sea code of conduct has failed?
Which is good bro, I prefer an arm race than a hot war. China had the industrial capacity to outproduce the Collective West, in this economic downturn it may also help the Chinese economy tremendously.
This is a very bold claim to make.
I said it again China had the industrial might to outproduced the collective west.
