, a U.S. military spokeswoman would not confirm or deny the Wasp’s presence near Scarborough Shoal, but Philippine media showed video of what appeared to be the U.S. warship some 5 km away from a fisherman’s boat near the shoal.

Good!

the US should start building its own Island there

The Filipinos should certainly have the right to build islands there.


It would be good if we could use that and our old bases again, Clark and Subic.


It doesn't have to be our island per se.

Thread: Is it just a coincidence that a F35 is at the bottom of the sea, just as...

I counted 10 F35 Vertical take off land variant.

4 Osprey

1 Heli on deck and 1 airborne with shadow (photo vantage point) - Probably a sea stallion (not sure)

Marines are Ready to Fight Tonight like all of our armed forces.

China are you listening?

He's been playing too nice with the Chinese since getting elected.


I'm glad to see him speak up again.


China would roll right over the Filipinos in a NYC minute.


He needs to figure out quickly who his real friends are.


Trump is not Obama and Trump and Duterte are a lot alike. They should be simpatico

The F35 is probably from the Wasp and the Japan thing is cover.

Duterte hated "son of a whore" Obama so much, he took the bait from China. Probably thought Hitlary was going to become president too in 2016. When President Trump took office, Duterte regretted his earlier decision as Trump speaks his mind (the truth) unlike so many other politicians

Yes, China could roll over Philippines, but that would be the end of China.

US has Andersen AFB on Guam, Kadena AFB on Okinawa. US Navy currently has LHA-1 strike group with MEU aboard in South China Sea. US also has "other" assets here in the Philippines. All those artificial island bases China built would be gone and Chinese supply line cutoff. US subs would pick off the Chinese fleet within a couple of weeks.

Japan, ROK, Taiwan and probably even Vietnam would all join US counter attack and liberate the Philippines within a few months.

As Gen. MacArthur once said, give me 10,000 Fighting Filipinos and I could conquer the world.

I certainly hope you are right.


A dog can chase a car, but a dog can't drive it very far.

The Japanese had the islands only for a short while.

We do not have the horses nor equipment needed to actually win this.
War is about production.
They have it..
We lost it and shipped it offshore.

Used chips made in foreign lands in secret equipment.
Don't be surprised when they can turn it off at will.

At least the US doesn't manufacture tanks like French with 13 gears for reverse and 1 gear to go forward in case enemy attacks from behind.

Little known secret, "they" you mention would actually be the US shutting down all the Chinese electronic combat and communication systems. You don't think the NSA has Trojan Horse backdoors to all those chip designs the Chinese stole from US?

Bingo

I hope there will not be any war, but it's inevitable. China has become arrogant and positioning itself much like Imperial Japan did during the 1930's.

Classic scene from Red Dawn. "Two toughest kids on the block, sooner or later they're going to fight."

Bingo to what statement?

Look at the havoc wreaked upon Iranian centrifugal units for manufacturing weapons grade plutonium. Now Venezuela is experiencing blackouts. Chinese will experience the same fate if they continue on their present imperial course of destruction by means of Stuxnet and AI based malware.
