China keeps getting real FAFO with Filipino ships.
thailand, Indonesia, okay, they’re not internationally aggressive countries and have a lot of economic deals with China.
but the Philippines?
china is banking on “my boats are so big”, but that doesn’t translate to combat readiness and if they continue sustained escalating conflicts or the Philippines stops putting up with their shit, I’m leaning Philippines the same way i was leaning Ukraine.
and guess who’ll be getting military aid from NATO?
