International Philippines say Chinese boats rammed vessels in disputed waters

The Philippines got rid of the U.S. bases so you're on your own.

They put back a couple of bases again although not full ones. I have mixed feelings on this because we keep provoking china with these supply missions, i hope Uncle Sam is willing to talk the talk about backing us up if push comes to shove

I know they're back-kinda. But you lose leverage when you kicked a bigger country out and another regional power takes over and you want the other guy to come back when they already got plenty of bases in the region.

Yeah, the mutual defense treaty should have been voided the moment that the blind nationalists in the Philippines Senate requested the U.S Navy to leave Subic Bay, knowing full well China gonna pounce to fill in the power vaccuum.

Now they want the U.S back after China already dug their claws in all the islands that belongs to Manila and refuses to leave.

The 3 true allies in Asia-Pacific that has shown they are worthy of those treaties are Korea, Japan, and Australia, because we know exactly where they stand. Philippines not so much.
