Philippines Fight Against China is an Absolute Nightmare (Task and Purpose)

The Philippines agreed to allow the US military and army to create 4 new military bases on their islands. These strategic locations will give the US the best seats in the house to recon that South China Sea. The Philippines is made up of over 7,000 different islands just 420 miles south of China making it a strategically important archipelago. They’ve been on the frontlines in WW2, the old war on terror and now the West’s new competition with China.



Many of the posts at Spookyweather2 come from 'pro Russian' commentators that also look favourably at China. However, while Russia is minding its own business China is stepping on the toes of neighbouring countries. Their business deals also come with political influence and arm twisting.

In regards to the South China Sea shipping lanes, no country in the region would want to close these shipping lanes or want conflict with China, but China is taking over islands throughout the region, including right near the Philippines. In doing so they are driving these countries back into the US sphere of influence. 

No one likes a bully whether it is the USA or China. One cannot justify Chinese moves in the region as them simply minding their own backyard. They've gone a step too far in taking over land that was essentially under the jurisdiction of other countries.
