President Biden said Wednesday that the US military is willing to fight nuclear-armed China on behalf of the Philippines after ships from the two Asian countries collided near a disputed, unpopulated island in the South China Sea.
“The United States defense agreement with the Philippines is ironclad. Any attack on the Filipino aircraft, vessels or armed forces will invoke our mutual defense treaty with the Philippines,” Biden said during a joint press conference at the White House alongside Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
On Sunday, two of Manila’s military ships collided with a Chinese vessel that sought to block them from reaching the disputed Second Thomas Shoal, which is strategically located along important commercial shipping routes but also submerged at high tide.

Yea. No.
Need a War to stop a Trump?
He won’t fight one thing.
That’s cool as long as he don’t force any of the rest of us to go over to China with him to watch the match.
“We can ride a bike up a staircase while chewing gum and firing a shotgun in the air at the same time. That’s no joke.”
The Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Washington for talks starting tomorrow three days with Blinken.
Gotta send a message to look tough while its obvious you also want to talk to China.
We have a treaty with The Philippines. Too bad they kicked us out of Subic Bay.
L
China could lose half a billion people...and no one would notice.
This brain dead piece of rat filth is going to drag us into a war to end all wars and NOBODY IS DOING ANYTHING TO STOP HIM DAMMIT!
We don’t even get press conferences by the effin RINOpublicans to fight this bum I am SO SICK OF THEM!
“Oh today they finally picked a speaker” SO WHAT! And then what happens? “Oh let’s investigate Hunter Biden! He didn’t pay his taxes” Meanwhile we are 20 steps closer to annihilation
Is there anything Joe won’t do, even involve us in WWIII, to take the heat off the investigations into the Biden crime family’s bribes?
‘I Shall Return!’
Probably not tell. Who will make the cheap-ass junk sold at Walmart and on Amazon (and just about everywhere else!)?
*not true
The Philippines can defend themselves. They are not an ally. They are a protectorate of the US. We need to get out of this business of being the protector of foreign lands and start protecting our homeland.
They’ll have 5 year olds making parts in school.
And we are doing what in establishing our blue water navy so our mouths don’t write checks that our asses can’t cash?
The Muzzies and the Chinamen are using this time of American weakness with Mr. Demento at the helm to get everything they want. These aren’t coincidences.
Trump as president: No major wars on the horizon.
Biden as president: Three major wars on the horizon.
Every last news outlet should be highlighting this. But of course they won’t.
And that’s because Biden has that magical “D” after his name.
(Not my words but so true!) The same people who told us not to vote Trump because he would crash the economy and start a war, are today crashing the economy and starting wars.
