President Marcos Jr. Says US Could Use Philippine Military Bases if Beijing Attacks Taiwan

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced Thursday that his country could let the U.S. use its military bases to respond in the event of a Chinese attack on Taiwan.

The statement came after a four-day state visit to the U.S. in which Marcos met with President Joe Biden on Monday hoping to strengthen ties with the U.S. amid Beijing's growing aggression in the Asia Pacific region.

The heads of state reaffirmed the strong alliance between their two countries. A major highlight came with the signing of a new defense agreement to help the Philippines better respond to the People's Republic of China's continued aggression in the South China Sea.

I have a serious question what the heck is that statue behind the president?

At 4 pm Fri. May 5, '23 I read a 14 hour old story on Bloomberg that states: "US can't use Philippine bases for chinese offensive, Marcos says" So did he change his mind?

[mikethomas]

Everyone better reread that Defensive Agreement. Marcos assured China there will be no offensive operations from the Philippines.

Ink is not even signed and Philippines don't understand what yhey signed.

Put your faith and trust in Jesus, not in any man on this planet. Read the Bible and find out why crazy things are happening or you can do some research or listen to believers in Christ on youtube. I do hope you are believers in Christ and have the Holy Spirit in you. Jesus is coming back for all the believers on earth to save us from the coming apocalypse. Maranatha. Be sure you are saved person, if you are share the gospel of salvation to your loved ones or the people you care for.

The fact is Chinese did live on the islands of South China Sea. Ancient Chinese relics like temples, coins, porcelains, china artifacts and clay makings were found. These relics are ancient Chinese because at their same time, no other countries reached the same smelting or china/porcelain/pottery making skills. Only China could do that. China owns the 9 dash area of South China Sea. UN and most countries admit this fact. For example, it was US warships that carried China soldiers cruising that sea in 1946 to declare China sovereignty over there. But later due to navigation improvement in other SCS countries, they wanted to obtain the islands so they denied their previous admittance that the islands belonged to China.
