Duterte is a pragmatist. China could stomp on Indonesia and Vietnam like cockroaches caught in the kitchen when the light is turned on.

So, didn’t China stomp on them when these two countries asserted their rights to defend their islands like the former did to the Philippines?

I like this. This is good for us. I think sooner or later, Taiwan is going to be an issue, BUT

Once people have had a taste of freedom, as is happening in these countries, try to take that freedom away and see what happens.

Same in Venezuela. Let the people fight this out. Iran too. Give them some support and they will rise up.

Vietnam beat China in their last war. They hate each other. Duterte is a communist who likes China.

“China could stomp on Indonesia and Vietnam“

The Vietnamese handed China their asses not too long ago.

Duterte is bought and paid for by Beijing. Indonesia and Vietnam could ask for assistance, and USN would come running. And unlike Indonesia and Vietnam, the Philippines has a mutual defense pact with Uncle Sam, which means we are treaty-bound to help them ward off the Chinese.
