I had said before to not trust Marcos words.
If its true and not the usual western propaganda, that's a big win for the US.
Also this is another piece of news that reinforces my argument that the US is already seriously preparing/planning for war
I think it is empty propaganda.
Last week, and all this time, I did not know what to think.
Now I think it is just propaganda.
How big is this base, how many US troops we talking about?
Unless this is like what we see in Okinawa, then this is all bs.
Even Okinawa may not be that useful in a Taiwan conflict. It is still too far away. The Philippines is even further.
As for the South China Sea, notice was is being discussed in these articles, a base in the Philippines, and not a port.
Are the Americans trying to make themselves look bigger than they really are?
Zelenshy put the number on how many tanks they wanted, several hundred amour pieces, and jets.
Why no discussion of number of US troops deployed?
