After
I wonder if this recent leadership shake up In the Philippines Military is maybe tangentially related to that American strategy. As soon as President Marcos Jr. came back from his state visit to China, he sacked/replaced the now former AFP Chief of Staff after having only served on this role and was appointed by Marcos Jr. himself 5 months or so ago. The replacement officer is the same officer who was replaced by the now outgoing and replaced officer. Kind of confusing decision. But there has been a strong and persistent rumour alleging that there's a "destabilization plot" a.k.a. MILITARY Coup against Marcos Jr.
The question to be aske here is why? What would be the motivation of that country's Armed Forces to militarily oust the recently elected President and with the biggest mandate at that, having been elected by the most votes in the history of that island country. I can't help but be suspicious of a strong pro-American faction within the Armed forces of the Philippines. Since most of their top officers go to the U.S. military educational and training institutions during their formative years, and must have been groomed, targeted by American intelligence organization as their assets to be used in a just in case scenarios.
The person speaking on the video linked above is a former Senator, a former AFP Chief who loves to call for his fellow military officers to be apolitical at all times and yet this man never seem to shy away from making political comments and intrigues especially with respect to the current President and against Duterte. I was watching this same person on a different video on youtube but could not seem to find that anymore in which he was essentially suggesting and hinting that maybe there's more than meets the eye with regards to the decision to replace a newly minted with the one who was just himself replaced.
