Lol imagine having an “ally” spread anti-vax disinformation in your population, putting millions of vulnerable and poor people at risk, then thinking “hmm, I think’s he’s a trustworthy fella and we should keep doing as he wishes”
The Philippines are Baltics level of cucked. I remember a poll showing they love America more than Americans do.
They name their country after the king who colonized them.
Duterte was getting closer with China. Marcos represents a reversal, or maybe more accurately a return to complete submission to the United States.
Interesting development after China's reaffirmation of "peaceful development". I wonder how long that goal will work if America tries to keep poking the proverbial bear.
US is working hard to cross China's red lines because they realize their window of a military victory is closing. In my opinion, the window has closed a long time ago, but it seems they're still under the delusion that they could win a conflict, and want to goad China into it the same way they goaded Russia in Ukraine.
The proverbial red panda dragon**
The US also waged a secret antivax campaign in the Philippines to vilify China's vaccines, according to this Reuters article

Philippines is still a colony for all intents and purposes.
"please send missile"
I’ll be so pissed if WW3 gets kicked off by a guy named bongbong
What if the US just blows themselves up with missiles and dismembered themselves and died. I think that'd be fantastic.
No need for that. Bird flu + raw milk culture war go brrrrr
@Awoo@hexbear.net remember this?
Phillipines new Taiwan.
Taiwan was never in danger in the first place. The CPC was saying shit to appease their own nationalists and western media spun it as "China gonna attack anytime now". If you don't trust me look at the effect of China's threats on Taiwan's stock market.
Recently they said they would kill taiwanese independence diehards or whatever and nobody cared. Trade with China continues.
