It seems that the current PH Administration are deliberately too distracted on Illegal Drug Wars, maybe part of China's Sun Tzu strategy..? While other Asian Neighbouring Countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, Taiwan are all visibly ratcheting up their Armed Forces Capabilities post Hague ITLOS ruling, the Philippines is just laid back in "siesta mode" sends a Senior Citizen as Emissary to China. I bet he's going to get a good deal for himself at the Country's expense again..... So, is the present any different from the rest??? |

Despite this rhetoric the leaders in Hanoi are aware that costs of appeasement to China are higher than the cost of war. Interaksyon

I like Vietnam's approach and maybe the Ph president can learn something useful from her. Even though Vietnam and China have good economic ties, with Vietnam having billions in Chinese investments, Vietnam continues to strengthen her military. When there is a need to be assertive in a dispute with China, she can do so because of her strong military. Even though Vietnam suffered terribly during her war with the US (probably including many civilian massacres as well), Vietnam is pragmatic enough to reestablish warm ties with the US so as to counterbalance China. ----------------------------- Vietnam's plan to deploy or preposition missile/rocket system in the Spratlys is a good one. If her island is attacked, her defenders would have an instant response and maybe even repel the assault or at least make the attacker pay dearly. No need to wait for planes to be scrambled or a naval sortie and the defenders would probably be overwhelmed by the time help arrives. These would also probably be blocked by the more numerous PLA navy. IMHO Edited by Sitzkrieger2, Oct 8 2016, 11:38 PM.
