The Armed Forces of the Philippines releases to media late June 19 videos from soldiers aboard rigid hull boats, from aboard the BRP Sierra Madre, and drones to show how the China Coast Guard violently disrupted a routine mission to bring supplies for and rotate troops assigned to the BRP Sierra Madre in the West Philippine Sea.
The mission happened on June 17, resulting the the destruction of two rigid hull inflatable boats, theft of equipment, and the amputation of one soldier's thumb.
Chinese coast guard boarded PH ship, seized rifles, punctured boats off Ayungin Shoal, says Brawner
I think other news are now reporting this. No one posted it, so I figured I will.
Bkmk
Thus began The War of the Thumb
CCP and their thugs are bullies.
I guess Blinken will have to send yet another weakly worded message to Xi.
Confusing video. Not worth waiting for past the ads.
I would not be surprised to see China take over the Philippines before it goes after Taiwan
Yeah. This is a professional Coast Guard?
Like the 18th Century “Guardia Coasta” of Spain. Made to suppress pirates in the Caribbean it was many time worse than the pirates!
We could use another deep water port naval and air base at BOTH Subic Bay and Cam Ranh Bay. Just saying.
Finally, The War of Jenkins Ear isn’t alone in history.
