That chickens!!t president of ours didn’t back the Philippines when the Chicoms first did this, and now he has left it so that he pretty much has to go to the UN to beg for action, militarily confront the Chicoms, or just concede that the Chicoms are smarter than he is.

All bad choices. Just another in the latest string of appeasement and backing the wrong side.
