I figured Pootie would be nuking us in the not too distant future. Or maybe EMPing us.
It’s starting to look like China might beat him to the punch.

The two-week Balikatan operation will also see the militaries execute a drill to blow up a mock target warship in the South China Sea - a move that could incur China's wrath. Look for a Filipino ship launching. That sends the message. The Chinese know we can do it.
Cold War stuff. It was never really over.

"The Philippines' role in security in the region has grown."
The Philippines military strength is similar to Peru, other than US access to their bases (built by us in the 1st place), they have zero value as an ally.
Large population, practically zero combat power - mainly just for insurgent protection.
