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.

The Filipino troops performed very well in their support roles of building roads and helping the SVN people, losing at least 16 soldiers KIA and more wounded.
I would hope that the Filipino Govt would declassify their report roughly entitled “The Philcags Action Report” (TS).
The letters PHILCAGS stand for “Philipino Civil/Civic Action Group” and were similar, in part, to our CAP groups - Civic Action Programs, troops attached to villages to help in both military and civilian-type programs (health, building houses, roads, etc).
They are staunch allies of America.
It must be very clearly stated that joe biden only parrots what hes programmed to say. He’s just the booming voice of the person (people) behind the curtain. Will the deep state powers that truly control actions at the highest levels of government really do anything including war and tens of thousands of war dead to stop PDJT from becoming president in 2024? Obviously, the answer is yes.

Armament industry in clover
The rest of us not so much.
SloJo now fighting on 3 fronts
Middle East
Ukraine
Philippines
Mean tweets required bigly.
Oooops...make that 4 with Taiwan
Talk about being out of touch with reality. We're building up the military of the same country we have treaties to protect other nations from.
Good job SloJo
You drained the Srategic Oil Reserve to lower the us gas prices.
Now go to war on unicorn farts and other greenie nonsense.
Lol classic!
I missed that.
The US has strategic, essential national interests at stake in the South China Sea, and you are reflexively saying “no”.
I hope you at least said “no” to Ukraine, where we have no interests whatsoever.
Iran is baiting him. He’ll swallow it all. When Israel goes into Gaza, it’s on.
Reflexively. Gold Star for you.
Secondly it’s none of business what I think about The Ukraine. Maybe you can figure it from my first response.
P.S. my posting history might help you find the answer to your question.
Best of Luck!👍
