This is clearly inside the EEZ of the Philippines.

Weakness breeds aggression....

With the current Coward-in-Chief, I don’t know why anyone is surprised by this.

Would China be setting up their own ports with Cuba? If they can do this with the Philippines I wonder with Cuba.

I've been saying for a long time that it is inevitable that the US will re-engage in the Philippines.

They got that nationalistic fervor back in the 90’s but the reality of Chinese expansion in the South China Sea has put a stop to that.

It will be interesting how the US handles this in the next few years. Regardless of who is elected President the US is going to come under tremendous pressure to keep the shipping lanes open and that is going to require a massive build up of US forces.

Why doesn’t the Philippines fight them on this reef?

They may get their butt kicked (or maybe not) but the World will support them and China has A LOT more to lose.

Imagine what an unexpected battle there would do to perceptions about China’s economy?

Sink the bastards and let them swim back to Red China.

Otherwise, kiss your atoll goodby.

Every time China acts up, we should retaliate. If they do something exceptionally crappy, we should GIVE Taiwan nuclear weapons.

Currently, Islam is the second largest religion of the Philippine population. This will be interesting to watch. Will Bambi get involved?
