When the Chinese Communist Party is finished with them they won’t even have an island to stand on
The Democrat Party is the most destructive force upon the American republic in history. That is not hyperbole.
How did we let this relationship deteriorate so quickly and to such likely catastrophic results?
Afghanistan was Joe Biden’s Suez Canal moment. All the while the WH claim8ng they ‘restored’ international ties. Sheer arrogance.
I recall history records a significant number of Americans paying significant sacrifices in dead and wounded categories to free the Solomon Islands in the 1940’s. Our national leadership is comprised of fools.
Guadalcanal and Tarawa do the Chinese have Truk, Rabaul or Midway yet?
So said to read about the Chinese running wild in the Pacific.
Real simple.
We have ignored what matters, and elevated every bullshit idiotic idea and theory to the highest importance.
Our leaders lead the way at LGBTQIA parades. They live stream their presence on FB while on the government clock... Meanwhile crickets in the Solomon islands. Our leaders have picture opportunities at green power sites, solar or wind, they give speeches about climate change, make sure to go to an electric vehicle plant and have their picture taken there, they attend summits on such make belief threats while the real issue go ignored.
Every government organization celebrates every special emphasis group imaginable, on the government clock, they conduct training, send out emails, have guest speakers... But if the Russians actually tell us by name that those two brothers from Chechnya are assholes and might start some shit, they’ll miss that.

But the FBI is 99% mandatory vaccine compliant and has an equity plan as well as having a special emphasis on minority recruiting!
I’m seeing that Prime Minister Manesseh Sogavare will soon become the proud owner of some really nice homes and cars, after he signs some paperwork that will get the country into a Chinese Debt Trap
WWII veterans are older but survivors remember the Solomons and sacrifice. So now Chinese Communist imperialists want to grab them for money and intimidate Americans?
I get it. If I owned a gas station I wouldn’t let the presidential motorcade fuel up either
The battle to control this area resulted in Ironbottom Sound.
“Here we go. America has lost the Solomon Islands”
Expected - the US has TOTALLY LOST respect of the Third World, after allowing the Neocons to start the Ukraine War.
We went from 70% support at the UN, just after the invasion, to 30% support now.
We blew it.
The Butchers of Beijing already own most of Africa and now they’re working on Pacific islands. There’s no shortage of corrupt leaders of small,backward,nations who,when given some kind of offer similar to Central American narco terrorists “silver or lead”,respond “silver,please”.
China is willing to pay for what they want. As in paying off politicians and other people with “pull”.
They did quite a lot of that in the Philippines from 2016 on, but they werent able to get their way, exactly. Way too many people to buy. But elsewhere, its more practical.
Looking at it from elsewhere in the Pacific, this started with Obama. Here in the Philippines, doubts about American committment to the alliance most definitely began at that time. Duterte openly expressed it, and his Secretary of Defense wrote some think pieces along those lines. The country has to make nice with the PRC because when the s*** hits the fan the USN will not be coming to the rescue.
Thankfully the Philippine military was not on board - they are committed pro-Americans and they have a lot of independent influence, let us say. The people also generally despise the Chinese. This raises the risk of a “silent” coup should the government try to do a blatant sellout to the Chinese. A military coup will not work unless it is popular, and on this issue it will be.
“...the Philippine military was not on board - they are committed pro-Americans and they have a lot of independent influence, let us say. The people also generally despise the Chinese...”
That is very interesting. Thank you for that info.
“The country has to make nice with the PRC because when the s*** hits the fan the USN will not be coming to the rescue.”
Good point. But as far as coming to the rescue, they may be right about the US, considering how we’ve GUTTED our navy over the past 35 years, when we had 600 ships back then. Now we’re under 300 and trying to light off wars around the world.
So the US may well WANT to help the Philippines, but will we be able to?
(p.s., that’s why I’ve always supported Reagan’s approach, which was to build up the military BEFORE running around the world starting wars)
Is one of the US coasts near the Solomon Islands? What the he’ll is a US Coast Quard ship doing way the he’ll over there?
Because they have the biden regime on a leash.
