Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced a new agreement to house American troops and military supplies in the Pacific.

The Heritage Foundation's Lt. Col. James Carafano says there is good news and bad news after China sends 71 planes and seven ships toward Taiwan in 24 hours on 'Your World.'

During a joint press conference, Marcos commented on the"complicated" situation in the Pacific and said his country was reliant on the strength of the U.S. and the partnership between the two countries to prevent tensions from escalating into a potential military conflict. "The EDCA is a key pillar of the US-Philippines alliance, which supports combined training, exercises, and interoperability between our forces," the U.S. and the Philippines said.

US military seeks to expand access to bases in Philippines with eye toward China | CNN PoliticsThe US military is seeking to expand its access to bases in the Philippines with an eye toward China, according to several US defense officials, as part of an ongoing shift in force posture in the Indo-Pacific region. What's happening with the Pentagon's RAND Corporation and ending the conflict in Ukriane, if Biden is emptying his war closet, sending Abrams tanks and now, longer-ranged rockets.

US and India to boost defense and technology cooperation as China threat grows | CNNThe United States and India are taking steps to strengthen their defense partnership, officials said Tuesday, the latest sign of cooperation between the two countries in the face of an increasingly assertive China. I wouldn’t trust India. They are clearly in bed with Russia when it suited them. China is also invading the world with COVID variants. That too is war, a kind of asymmetric warfare without a declaration of war, but with a similar effect in the long term! PS.: And who demands compensation?

Philippines grants U.S. greater access to bases amid China concernsThe Philippines has granted the United States expanded access to its military bases, the countries said on Thursday, amid mounting concern over China's increasing assertiveness in the disputed South China Sea and tensions over self-ruled Taiwan. The more a nation accepts US military bases, the more that nation loses their sovereignty. this move moves negotiations further from the table. why now? china has been doing this for decades in the south china sea. Another Marcos another US base. SecDef actually works for the State Department not the men and women of the US armed forces. POTUS is feeling imperialistic.

U.S. expands military presence in the Philippines as China looms in regionThe agreement gives American forces access to four more bases in “strategic areas of the country,” a U.S. treaty ally facing territorial disputes with Beijing in the South China Sea. I take it y'all dont inow about Diego Garcia. The Phillipines are cool but since it was built up Diego Garcia is designed to fight multiple national level wars in the Eastern Hemisphere. China is cool but between the F35s an B21s there. The CCP will loose to China, AKA Taiwan. Those of us who watched while a previous RP rather nastily withdrew American bases and stole what was left are wondering: did it finally figure out that leeching off the American taxpayer was the only way to keep the current government in power?
