[Its All Over Except ...]

You are framing people in a bad light.

Do I like it that China is settimg up a base?

No.

But people everywhere, of all political stripes, say “So tbe U.S. has hundreds of bases but freaks out over this?”

Do I like China having this base? Again, no.

But I don’t want WW3 over a base? H to the no.

And Solomon Islands undoubtedly will tell the U.S. that they don’t own them.

[Williams]

Now you know what the Solomon Islands will tell us?

[The Pack Knight]

I think they are framing themselves in a bad light. They are saying the US refusing to tolerate a Communist Chinese base in the Solomon Islands the same as Russia invading Ukraine. To anyone who is not reflexively anti-American, it plainly is not.
