The Philippines is so screwed. All we can do is whine and complain but we don’t have the military to defend our islands. We actually have some armed men on a beached ship on a tiny island to maintain our claim, but the Chinese have blockaded them and is starving them out. We know they will seize it the moment our men leave. We cannot break the blockade and Obama won’t help. It is only a matter of time before we lose everything.

What island are they located on?

Can’t someone air drop supplies from an aircraft?
