Please locate “The Philippians” on a map.

If you are instead trying to refer to the Philippines, we pulled out of there in the 90s and only recently when a more friendly government was elected were able to use five smaller bases. The arrangement with them allows their government to kick us out at will. China pressures them, they’ll fold

South Korea? China pressures them a lot and they’ll deny us basing.

Japan? Already not happy with us over misbehavior at the base on Okinawa. Often refuses to let openly nuclear combat ships in. May go neutral in a war between China and the US.

Also, all of those are an awful long flight or swim for damaged attack vehicles.

You like the drunk in the bar. You have no clue what your talking about at all but belligerently spewing your ignorance louder rather then learn from your errors You have zero understanding of the geopolitics in the Pacific. Don’t kid yourself that you do.
