The Philippines would barely be a blip on China’s radar...

“Have seen all of that & heard similar stories many times more!”

Thanks...I was expected the Neocon “We won the Cold War, why are you paranoid?” bunch to chime in.

At some point in time China is going to play Steamroller. It might not be in our lifetimes...it could be a hundred and fifty years from now. But the Chinese have a long history of being very patient.

China will drone them to death. PI needs a US base back.

“Even our military, at this point, would likely get trounced by China”

If that were true our current trade negotiations with them would be going very differently.

Why would I say that?

Even though China is now more a fascist state then a communist one that doesn’t make it not a potential threat.

and that applies to Cold War also the only possible change is new players!

“you and what army, i guess...”

That would be the Filipino Army. They’ve spent the last decade or so whacking islamic terrorists in the southern part of the country. They’re well acquainted with the art of killing people.

They also did a pretty good job of waging a guerilla war against the Japanese back during that little dust up in the Pacific in the 1940s.

They are not to be trifled with.

We should not be educating foreign nationals within our country. Let them find their own way, it does not serve us at all as a nation.
