Don't you just love this stuff? Yahoo is pushing our button and they're very good at it. Dutarte? Trump never called him out like he did with our other allies. Dutarte wants more-should we give it to them? They know the Chicoms and they think we don't.

Kinda reminds me of Pakistan-1979. Soviets invade Afghanistan, Jimmy Carter sends 2 billion(could be wrong) and the Pakistan strongman calls it peanuts. Just what do we owe these ungrateful folks?

Why do we pay them? They should be paying us to keep a big presence there. If we pull out, guess who will be moving in, and quickly.

They should be grateful that we are there. When we closed Subic Bay it dinged their economy big time.

Open land for a base, restore rights to the existing base, open your waters to all US shipping or learn to speak Chinese.
The math isn’t that hard.

As Chinese people become more prosperous, they need slave labor. Control of the South China Sea is a big bonus. Duterte, like previous corrupt leaders, cares only about his own personal enrichment. He will sell his country and people to Xi, and China will tighten its grip on the South China Sea.

"Duterte said last week the United States should pay more if it wants to maintain the two-decade old Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA), which he unilaterally cancelled last year in an angry response to an ally being denied a U.S. visa."

Screw the PI. Guam is right there. As long as it don’t flip over we are good.
