  Who could’ve guess that building military bases in international water, over fishing in other nations waters, and constantly asserting racial superiority would cause distrust amongst your neighbors?
  Wolf-Warrior philosophy forgets that wolves hunt in packs and the lone wolf cannot survive without the pack.

  Never should have given up the base in Taiwan.  Granted one of the former base houses is now a really good bakery/desert shop. >
  
  Phillipines last president wanted to friends with China. That would have been a huge L for the US. But instead they kept pushing south China sea without negotiating and sent them back to US. I am grateful for that blunder.
  Hopefully we don't take the alliance with the Philippines for granted and do more. >

  Fuck off US, and fuck off China >
  
  China never will, so either the US tries to counter their power grab in the region, or they let the Philippines and the entire region get overrun by China. Which do you prefer? 
  Pretty sure most of us would prefer no military bases anywhere at all, but when the alternative is to let the neighborhood bully steal everyone's lunch money, well... >
  
  Uh huh. How many countries has China invaded in the past 40 years? How many has America? In fact Philippines were a US colony for a bit after they fought Spain in another false flag attack and got these territories.  You can't blame them for wanting to be independent. America is as big of a threat to them as China. >
  
  Vietnam, India... >
