Considering how much money we bring in, not sure if he wants to do that..

Especially since bases have longterm contracts as well. We pay for that land i believe.

Unless that poor ass country gonna pay all that back, then :umad:

Dude is nuts

They need the USA money and protection

Hes formed a strong alliance with China

I just posted this in HL. America aint the only ones with money fam :usure:


Money talks and China talking real loud right now.

Cannons blasted the frigid air of Tiananmen Square with a 21-gun salute last week, as China feted Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak during a five-day visit. Mr Najib inspected a regimental colourguard on Tuesday before being whisked into the Great Hall of the People to sign $34bn in trade and investment agreements.

During a pause in proceedings, Liu Zhenmin, Chinese vice foreign minister, took a moment to reassure the Malaysian media that this was not the way it looked. “There is no such thing as using our financial muscle to improve ties,” he replied, stony-faced, to a question on whether China was exercising chequebook diplomacy.

But it was hard to hide the glee on the Chinese side: back-to-back visits by Philippine and Malaysian leaders have marked a moment of rare foreign policy success for Beijing, which has spent more time recently alienating most of its Southeast Asian neighbours with an aggressive pursuit of maritime hegemony in the South China Sea.

In the space of a few weeks, Beijing demonstrated that a concerted charm — and cash — offensive in Asia could cause even staunch US allies to wobble in their pro-Washington orbits.

Taken at face value, it appears Beijing’s foreign policy has turned a corner. FirstRodrigo Duterte, the Philippines’ president, stunned US policymakers during a visit to China last month, promising “separation” from Washington and embracing China with his announcement that it was “springtime” in Beijing-Manila relations.


Meanwhile Trump and his supporters want to withdraw into themselves:

A new US administration will have to convince sceptical allies that it is still focused on Asia, despite the distraction of crises in the Middle East and Ukraine, as well as the flirtation of the US electorate with the isolationist views of Donald Trump, the Republican candidate.

Yeah... I know china got money

I guess I just don't see the importance of the Phillippines. Its a position we know china wants, but I just think we got other positions while this nikka acting out like a child in the Phillippines

And even still.. We have contracts and paid for that land. It still would take awhile.

We're concerned with China but not scared of China. Nobody really wants a war even though it seems inevitable

Fam these cacs think it's 1950 lmao

Donald Trump’s election has turned established ideas about trade in Asia on their head. Trump has said he will pull America out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade deal between the US and 11 other countries in Asia, Oceania and South America.

The threat to the trade agreement has led to a revival of interest in the China-led Free Trade Area for the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) as the new architecture for trade and economic integration in the region
.

For several months, the Barack Obama administration has repeatedly emphasised that the Trans-Pacific Partnership acts as a framework that allows the US to write trade rules for the region, rather than leaving China to do so. This emphasis has also underpinned the agreement’s importance in terms of the US and its allies containing China.

While the final fate of the trade agreement is still unknown, president-elect Donald Trump’s rejection of the deal, along with strong opposition by several other domestic political actors and groups within the US, makes the prospect of its passage by the US Congress rather dim.

They hate Obama so much let them get Trump fukk ups :yeshrug:

China capitalises on Trump's hostility to trade with a new deal for Asia-Pacific

And?

Unless China is going to pay off that debt and occupy that space, providing the economy we provide, then who cares.

Dude is just doing that whole bravado shyt again. Yeah.. We'll leave. We got Guam, hawaii, japan, etc. fukk your country honestly...

I bet his people wouldn't want us gone though with how much money we spend, jobs we give, etc. Filipinos literally join OUR navy for citizenship

No shyt I know why tf we do it nikka:heh:


But like I said, we dont fukking need them regardless.

And that many people probably would've died in a phillipine/China war. Just like japanese beheading all the men in Guam and shyt

We dont do wars like that anymore and we have been pretty civil in that country. We got a base, made them allies, bring in tourism, etc., when you really dont understand how much asian countries despise each other

If it was China back then they probably wouldve killed everyone or at least every man on some Negan shyt
You going a little too hard in the paint for a country that doesn't even care about your own people breh.

Didn't he admit he's a murderer, I thought they were already in the process of getting rid of this guy.
He has been spewing that rhetoric for awhile but I imagine that's one of the first things they will pitch to trump when he takes power lol.
