Philippines Refuses 'Direct Involvement Of US Forces' In Resupply Missions Amid Deal With China

The Philippines and China have “reached an understanding” for resupply missions to a grounded Filipino naval ship in the South China Sea. The deal followed "frank and constructive discussions" between the two sides at the Bilateral Consultation Mechanism earlier in July.
China confirmed the “temporary arrangement” with the two sides agreeing to jointly manage maritime differences and de-escalate the situation.
The Philippines Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) did not provide details on the “provisional arrangement’ agreed on July 21.

American here. Just a quick recap of our not so far history with the Philippines. We promised them complete independence once they fight the Spaniards with us. Which they did. But once the Spaniards were gone they had to fight us for independence. We killed more than 200, 000 Filipinos in the process, which took 40 years. To us they were savages. They also sent 10s of thousands of soldiers to help us in WWII, with the promise of full veterans benefit to them. Which we denied afterwards. Chose your enemies wisely, but chose your allies even more wisely. Glad to see Bongbong finally showing some common sense.

If we accept usa help that would mean we cant do anything without relying on them just like back then

[charttrakarn]

All Philippines people should listen to Scott Ritter !

[fireice]

[somalianokingkonghimself]

[jetvdna]

Philippines don't want to be a pawn in the clash of Titan's whatever possible means to de escalate the situation is the best solution rather than feeding the Titan's of its own plan to rule the zone.. We are not a pawn for you to play!!

Asians fight Asians

Winner: The West

[carlosca]

Good for the Philippines, no need to become the Asian Ukraine.

[sjvs]

With US' help, see what's happened to Ukraine.

[kofialleghana]

Good for the Philippines. The US is the advocate you don't want to have.

[joetu]

It's funny how US help by saying "We(US) tell PH how and what to do?" So demanding like a master said to his dog....so who is the master and who is the dog? We all know.

[peternanagas]

it took 2 years for this Filipino President to realized.

[LuciaKandum]

Peaceful agreement is the best rather than to engage in war ...

[erinsable]

for 5000 years the chinese had 300kms of border with phillipines. didnt attack even once. usa has 1000 foreign military bases. china has i think 1 or 2? lets not get confused here. china is surrounded by u.s bases, a big part of the reason china wants a buffer zone is for missile bases to defend china from u.s attack, if the u.s wasnt so aggressive, would china feel that need for that buffer zone of protection? im guessing no. all empires have their agendas too, i wont deny that, but lets not forget whos agressive posture is driving all this shit, america, as usual, just like in europe when they push nato up against russias border. you cant mass forces on someones border and not expect some kind of response. so yes, this is actually about a clash of titans. a shame phillipines sovereignity has to suffer a little bit for it though, i wish it were otherwise, i love the phillipines. but none of us should love american foreign policy, even if we love america, its extremely aggressive, foolhardy, unstrategic, and downright reckless, you know, the behaviour of those corrupt individuals leading the american empire. america has no land in asia, they have no business here, all their presence does is antagonise. dont let the american thief in the door. dont let america spread their dangerous new liberalism and war rhetoric. feeling threatened by china shouldnt be a reason to get closer to america, all americas allies have been made to regret that decision. becuase usa dont look after their allies. they betray them. the world must take a stand against all globalism, against all imperialism, and through diplomacy, thats the way to protect against colonisers, thats the key to peace.

[zorrovedana]

Well done Philippine you dont need the USYanks in Asia. You need China.🎉🎉❤❤😊

[ssbbearcat]

We have seen enough of the US's helps like the ones in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghan, just to name a few. One US rejection of the offer pill a day, keep the war away.
