@IndioLion Lmao, we don't even have power projection cuz we were a colony by the spanish sold to the US for merely 20 million bucks... quit da larp, we're a global south nation tinier than hispanic American nations...
@chimeraxmachina That's true also notice whenever Philippines distances away from USA, terrorist false flags attacks happen and dissappearances and deaths of journalists happen...? I'll let that sink in.
@commiepommie Sorry trapos, there will be 0 false flags against china for Washington to exploit, we know how desperate they are despite the strong soft power USA has.

@Ignis_Rex Because china made countermeasures to ensure such tensions never happen and has pre emptively moved via belt and road initiatives, diplomacy and allied with Pakistan among other things.

@Mahar_Likan Iirc, wasn't our military meticulously propped up and developed by the Americans when they occupied us? There's like no difference imo since Filipinos since the occupation and our independence in 1946 reveals how westernised we became...

The corruption is deeply bad, from hacienderos, political dynasties and padrino/backer system.
