China or the US?

[kermit_criminal]

China will not invade the Philippine mainland, they only care about Taiwan. besides, arent you sick of US world domination? If push came to shove i would personally support the Chinese. The US dosent care about us, we dont prodivde them the same economic benefits of a Japan, South Korea, Iraq etc.. The only reason they would contemplate defending us is because they see China as a competitor to America's superpower status. In fact, allying with the United States is more likely to get us in a fight with China then vice versa

We are not sick and tired of US dominating in the world , we are after of being a country with a 100 % support from the US in terms of livelihood and economy . We dont need to be an ally for we are one already . Japan , S Korea , Iraq neither provided benefits to the US but the US molded on what they are today .

Japan is America's #1 trading partner i believe, or #2, Korea is up there as well, and Iraq.. its obvious, they have oil. We do not give US anything they want. I guess the difference between the Filipinos and say for example the Chinese is that we have no pride at all, in fact our public cant help but love the US too much

If it takes China to bomb us in 5 minutes because CHina is our enemy , it will only take the US to bomb CHina in probably 3 minutes to protect us from the CHinese . As a world power ally , natural US gyud .

Sorry to burst your bubble but the US currently has no capability to bomb China in 3 minutes, not with conventional weapons.

I probably said it in a very specific way bai ... literally NO , what I am trying to say is , before CHINA could do anything wrong or damage to PHILIPPINES , US wont allow that to happen if they want to take care of the Philippines . Ok not in 3 minutes , say CHINA will bomb us in 1 hour , US will bomb CHina in 30 minutes to prevent the CHinese in hurting us FIlipinos .... kuha na nimo ??

The Yanks can bomb China within 30 minutes if there is a Carrier Battle Group in the vicinity of China at the time the Chinks attack us.

If ever man gani OIL , it has to be IRAQ bai and not Japan and S Korea . They are more of the INDUSTRIALIZED countries . Look at how JAPAN and S. Kroea got back to its feet after WW II and the Korean War respectively ..... look at them today ...... from the US's support and being an ally .

Imagine the Philippines as a commonwealth .... kung wala ta gi liberate nice unta kaau ta karon . We say na mawala ang IDENTITY nato as Filipinos ?? That is crap bai .... why do we still recognize the Samoans , Tongans , Hawaiians , Chamorros and all the islanders .... dont forget the BORICUAS aka the Puerto Ricans and the Eskimos , they still have their own identities .

They dont have to be in the vicinity of the CHina sea bai . Bisan sa Pacific Rim lang .... Uncle Sam can re arrange Asia if they wanted to . My point is , bombing or not kung protektahan gyud ta sa US , we can really rely in them as our shield .

I can attest to that , Ive been to 3 battle groups and been deployed 4 times in the 5th and 7th fleet of the worlds finest navy .

Korea got back to its feet after WW II and the Korean War respectively ..... look at them today ...... from the US's support and being an ally .

Amen brotha...

Hmmm don;t forget about US' sneaky subs that can unload their payload of nukes in China's own waters.

^^ and don't forget Chinese ICBMs that can unload on American soil in retaliation. Unconventional war is out of the question, it would be MAD.

The U.S. of A also have ICBMS, The "M.O.A.B." plus killer satellites, The JSF, The Raptor & The Modern Land Warrior. The U.S. is the most equipped, well trained Arm Forces in this modern era. Russia tried to tame Afghanistan before & they didn't even scratch the surface.

Now China is upset because the U.S. just made a Green Light on Space Weapons. ( there goes the tax payers money )

China invites the Philippines to maritime exercises

(Kyodo) _ China invited the Philippines to participate in planned multilateral maritime exercises focused primarily on maritime search and rescue operations, officials said Monday.

Chinese People's Liberation Army deputy chief of General Staff Gen. Xiong Guangkai said the Chinese proposal was put forward during the first defense and security dialogue -- envisioned as an annual event -- between China and the Philippines.

"The subject of this proposed exercise would be in the non-traditional security field, for example, search and rescue. The aim of this proposed exercise is to promote our ability; to enhance our capabilities to cope with the non-traditional security threats in the region and hopefully make the region a safer place," Xiong told reporters after meeting with Philippine Defense Undersecretary Antonio Santos, Jr.

The venue of the exercises has not been finalized because the activities will involve naval vessels from a number of countries, and China is still trying to coordinate with them, Xiong said.
