It could be very easy, ask them(usa) to bring in Seabees or the Army Corp of Engineers to help. This would be the perfect opportunity for them and show the PRiCk's we are serious. Of course invite the usa to allow the us military members to stay on temporary duty year round to help teach us how to do repairs and such in order to properly maintain the airstrip and facilities. BTW did you see the statement by China basically threatening the US to stay out of the issue??? |

thats the problem with countries under one-party dictatorial rule with press freedom and political opposition suppressed - this creates a situation in those countries where they have an alternate view of reality diferent from the rest of the world where their officials and ordinary citizens start to believe in the righteousness of their claims since they have been brainwashed by the government's nationalistic propaganda creating a dangerous situation where their outraged citizens will demand war/escalation in response to lies and propaganda fed to them by their govt propaganda. |

This American general is talking much more sense than many Phil officials. |

This is the more important part. It means the US Pacific Command is monitoring the area using their ISR assets & sharing the info with the AFP. |

There will be no confrontations if you Chinks respect our sovereign territory. What about focusing more on feeding your own people that you keep artificially poor so that your party can horde loads of money? You're ships are not welcome. Stay out. |

Which I interpret as, though they might be reluctant about it, if push comes to shove, the US would stand by the MDT and the Philippines. Good. USA is still the ONLY superpower in the world. |

[/QUOTE] there is that possibility because of the growing influence of China in global economy. This could also hurt our economy. Thats why our strategists need to make a very careful planning on this. China and US trade relations have improved dramatically in the past years and as we all know holds thrillion of dollars in US debt. Just as I said this is a big lesson for us. To me one of the best is we need to maintain the modernization and keep the PLAN at bay while doing psyops in the UN and world media. And still maintain whatever is left in trade relations to keep the economy going. But if shooting starts then we can just defend ourselves and show this to the world. We should refrain from being too agressive and maintain our posture and stand our ground. We have a weak military anyway to be agressive on them. |

come to think of it, we arent aggresive yet. the chinese structure at Mischief Reef is still there. we are just letting them sit there while we cant do anything to take it back. are we aggressive? the current action is nothing compared to the talk and take strategy of the Greedy Big Bad Bully that took away Mischief Reef from us. best thing is to intensify patrol to thwart another takeover. then modernize our defenses and solidify our MDT with the US by bringing back the presence of the US Air Force here in our country. solidify and shield our nation from the bullying of china by solidifying our partnership with the US. |
