And its Catholic like Poland.
One look at that map and you realize how nonsensical Chinas claims are. But other than a shooting war, there is really no way to stop them.
On second thought, there is another way to stop them: High tariffs on Chinese imports until they start to behave.
The women are beautiful. Marry one and you can’t go wrong.
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
The are like Russian women- pretty when young but most morph into their grandmothers on their 30th birthday. Beauty fades with any woman though and most Filipinas I have known were very sweet people, so I wouldn’t disagree that they would make good marriage material.
It’s seems the name “South China Sea” has provided China with a flimsy excuse for invasion.
Let’s start calling that body of water the “South Asian Sea”.

Ive read that China has a very old map that shows the South China Sea as Chinese territory. And that is the basis for the current Chinese claims.
Flimsy indeed.
By the way, I recently found in my basement a map. It shows that my family owns all of China north of the Yangtze river. I wonder if China will honor this claim.
“Lets start calling that body of water the South Asian Sea.”
How about the Americo-Philippine Sea?
That will piss them off.
Russian women dont gently glide downhill when they age, they fall off a cliff.
So just replace them as they get over the hill. There are millions available.
Actually, the local press tends to call that body of water the West Philippine Sea.
(Possibly at some peril to continued good relations between China and the Philippines)
Lumpia !
First I look at the pur ...... mama.
Showed my wife how we folded and rolled our socks, underwear and etc in the mid sixties Army and ....
My sock drawer et al is absolutely BEAUTIFUL.
I made no request nor demand, just showed and on her own, she picked up on it.

Old Soviet joke.
To bring in more money for the state, Brezhnev orders that a strip club be opened up in Moscow. But it fails miserably. So Brezhnev calls in the club manager for answers.
Brezhnev: Comrade manager, why has the club failed? Was it the music?
Manager: No, sir. We only played the latest hits.
Brezhnev: Then maybe it was the alcohol.
Manager: No, sir. We served only the finest vodka.
Brezhnev: Then it had to be the dancers.
Manager: No. We selected them carefully. To be hired, a dancer had to be a party member for at least 40 years.
The Philippines is almost uniquely vulnerable to any power in a position to threaten interdiction via sea and sky. It is a bunch of islands that cannot even maintain its internal economy without seaborne and airborne trade.
Besides the Chinese navy, China has @ 600 fighter-bombers and other aircraft with the range, from South China/Hainan, to paralyze the Philippine domestic economy and shut off its international exports and imports.
The Philippines can be brought to its knees in a few months without a single Chinese soldier setting foot on it, though it would be entirely feasible for China to seize an island or two, which would not be too difficult as, without air/naval superiority, the Philippine armed forces would be unable to reinforce the local island forces. The other problem with the Philippines, strategically, is that any land position can be outflanked by an amphibious landing. Its got endless beaches. Without sufficient air/naval forces or a superpower to provide these, reliably, resistance is futile.
What the Phils most badly needs strategically is a modern air-defense system and air force that can credibly threaten high casualties to a Chinese air and naval attack. I figure this will cost, at minimum, @$50Billion, and at least $10Billion in annual operating costs.
