Boeing has offered the Philippines 12 overhauled former US Air Force A-10s, plus another 12 for spares.
Vermonter,

Where's the Source link for this article? I'll believe the offer if it had been stated on more official media outlets.

Not from David Isbey but I found this on the Motley Fool. As for its reliability, I wouldn't know.

The future of the A-10... abroad?

Last year, with the future of the A-10 Warthog in the U.S. uncertain, the Philippines began feeling out the U.S. about the possibility of selling, or gifting, as many as 24 A-10s to the Filipino military. Around the same time, officials from Boeing (NYSE:BA) -- currently working a $1.3 billion contract to upgrade the wings on dozens of older A-10s for the Air Force -- suggested that if the U.S. ultimately decides to retire the planes, other countries might want to buy our surplus aircraft.

Top U.S., Chinese admirals discuss South China Sea disputes after ruling
David Larter, Navy Times 5:14 p.m. EDT July 19, 2016


The U.S. Navy’s top officer raised U.S. concerns over China’s expansive South China Sea claims in a high-level visit with his counterpart in the Chinese navy.

Adm. John Richardson, chief of naval operations, said he met with Adm. Wu Shengli, the commander of the People's Liberation Army-Navy, for three hours and had a “very substantial discussion,” which he characterized as open and honest. The meeting in Beijing came a few days after an international court ruled that many of China's historical claims and island-building offered no legal basis to controlling nearly all of the disputed South China Sea.

US, China agree to reduce risks of misencounters in South China Sea
By: Jake Spring, Reuters
July 25, 2016 6:53 PM


The US and Chinese militaries have reduced the risk of encounters between them having "unintended consequences", a top US official said on Monday, while China reiterated it would not accept interference in the South China Sea.

There have been a series of incidents in recent years, most in the disputed South China Sea, where the United States has accused Chinese military ships and aircraft of coming dangerously close to US forces.

Visiting US National Security Adviser Susan Rice said confidence-building measures had reduced risks and the United States valued progress in improving military-to-military ties.

KERRY STATEMENT | US stays neutral on sovereignty claims but firm on freedom of navigation, flight
By: InterAksyon.com
July 27, 2016 11:44 AM

MANILA - (UPDATED W/ KERRY STATEMENT) The United States maintained it will remain neutral in any dispute over claims of sovereignty onland features in the South China Sea but will be firm in insisting on respect for freedom of navigation and flight in the vital waterway, Secretary of State John Kerry said Wednesday.

Kerry met with Secretary Perfecto Yasay at the Department of Foreign Affairs Wednesday morning. He is also meeting with President Rodrigo Duterte.

At a briefing following his talks with Yasay, Kerry praised the "very responsible and measured way" with which the Philippines has responded to the ruling of the Permanent Court of Arbitration on the case it brought against China’s claims over the South China Sea.

Obama urges China to stop flexing muscles over South China Sea - CNN
By: Reuters
September 3, 2016 9:53 AM

China needs to be a more responsible power as it gains global influence and avoid flexing its muscles in disputes with smaller countries over issues like the South China Sea, US President Barack Obama told CNN in an interview to be aired on Sunday.

Obama, who meets with President Xi Jinping at a G20 summit next week in China, told CNN the United States supports the peaceful rise of China but that Beijing had to recognize that "with increasing power comes increasing responsibilities," according to excerpts released on Friday.

Sounds like a challenge. So if I produce proof of the subscription article via another member, would you resign as one of the moderator's?


No need. Back then, I was only asking for a link. The rules explicitly call for everyone to post the source link of the article.

Watch your tone, by the way.
