Things can be salvaged IF we get a leader in the White House instead of the Marxist Neutured Poodle presently in the White Hut...

Relations with the Russians are the path to move beyond OPEC and the Petrodollar.

Balls, and LEADERSHIP required.

Go Trump!

We can thank a good percentage of American people who believed the MSM that there was some sort of obligation,guilt, to vote for this incompetent @$$.

Well, now that he’s with the Commies, there’ll be no more liberal complaints about how he treats drug dealers.

Eventually MOST of Asia will tilt towards China, away from the US, even Japan and South Korea. I wouldn’t be surprised if in 40 years, there are Chinese naval bases in Hawaii.

As these things go, how much harm to US is clear, but how much harm to Taiwan is obvious.

The reason is clear if the media would report on what the professionals in the Phils are saying.

The Phils is too weak to defy China - its one of the most unmilitary countries on earth, is much too poor to aquire the expensive air and naval forces to protect itself from such a powerful enemy, and both the US and the regional allies -Japan, Korea - have provided very little military aid.

On top of that, the US did not offer credible guarantees in case China started to, say, enforce its claim to control shipping through the South China Sea. That would amount to a blockade on Philippine trade.

Btw, in case anyone cares, this is not about invading the Philippines. China doesnt want it and its unnecessary. All China needs to do is blockade its maritime trade. That would suffice to shut down the Philippine economy.

Any Philippine government would need to make a realistic decision under these circumstances.

I am in awe with the total incompetence of obama and the rest of the government.
Trump is our last hope.

So much for the other territory we gained via the Spanish-American war.

We lost Cuba in 1959.

China won’t complain when Duterte starts slaughtering the Muslims. Can’t say I’d do any different were I in Duterte’s place. What’s he got to gain by putting Filipinos at risk just to satisfy the Muslim in our White House?
