The PI just got screwed. The PI needs to align with S. Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Australia, and India. I didn’t mention Japan because Filipinos have not forgotten WWII. The Filipinos were utterly brutalized by the Japanese.

But not till after January 20, 2017.

Nothing is ironclad with Zer0. Expect the unexpected. Or, maybe nothing is unexpected.

Dunno. But we won’t do squat to save them with Barry in command of his golf clubs.

“Ask Saigon about Washingtons track record with following through on its promises.”
And, keep in mind that the Philippines were our allies during Vietnam and a good number of their soldiers were there.

Translation: ‘We will defend the Philippines until A) The Chinese wants them, B) ISIS wants them to be a Muslim or C) I’m golfing and I don’t care if you are attacked.’
