i think we need the americans now since china is bullying us

I'm pretty certain that if the US hadn't abandoned Clark and Subic, China wouldn't have had the audacity to do as it pleases in the West Philippine Sea. I wouldn't be against an American presence in the Philippines if only to help control Chinese aggression in the West Philippine Sea.

Yan ang Problema! We are willing to sacrifice our sovereignty and freedom just to deter China! Not knowing the Americans who invaded and occupied us in the past are the ones we want to return?

 

Many of you are not informed that the nearest shipping lanes in the are of the Spratly's are infested with Pirates! Yes pirates who hijacks shipping containers and other commercial vessels! South China Sea/West Phil Sea piracy is worst than the Gulf of Aden!

 

The only hope for America in 2016 is Republican Sen. Rand Paul! Is a true libertarian just like his father former Texas Congressman Ron Paul!

What is happening in America today? I always thought that the American Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s led by Martin Luther King had somehow allowed African Americans to peacefully interact with White Americans. For many years, racial unrest was repressed and racial harmony reigned.

 

Today, what I observe is the seeming peaceful interaction between African Americans and White Americans is only skin deep. Past interactions seems to be limited to civil politically correct language. But I thing deep down there was a simmering distrust and dislike between and among both racial groups which was kept under wraps for the longest time.

 

Lately, this distrust and dislike have become more pronounced, fueled mainly by white cops killing African Americans, some of whom were unarmed. The Ferguson riots and the 1992 Los Angeles riots because of the Rodney King beating are clear manifestations that all is not well in America insofar as racial harmony is concerned.

 

And now this:

A white kid murdering 9 people in cold blood.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if some African American's hatred for White Americans takes revenge for this mass murder. I think it's only a matter of time.

Are we willing to sacrifice our sovereignty and freedom if China decides to take over the Philippines? What purpose do you suppose the construction of a military base in the Spratly's serves? It's scary to think that this just the start of a more sinister plan by China to take over weaker countries such as the Philippines.

Sigurado ka ba dyan? China to invade the Philippines? Eh sa tagal natin kalapit bayan ang China ni minsan sinugod ba tayo nyan? Paalala lang Spain, Amerika at Japan ang sumakop sa atin noon at hindi China!

At regarding the purpose of China building construction on those reefs is to station their Navy to protect the South China Sea/ West Philippine Sea shipping lanes from Piracy! FYI it is the most active area of the pirates, worst than the horn of Africa!

The government wants to distract the people! Now they are trying to make an issue about guns and races! Because lately the US Police have been taking too much heat from Police brutality/ shootings! The government just wants to ban the guns of the people and to trample the second amendment! FYI "the right to bare arms"! A lot of talk about a looming US collapse and the intent of Obama declaring Martial Law! But before he do this he needs to take the people's guns away first to avoid a civil war!

At kelan tayo nilusob ng China? Paalala ko lang na Spain, Amerika at Japan ang sumakop sa atin noon at hindi ang China!

The structures are their for the Chinese fishermen to dock for resupplies and incase of typhoons! And the Chinese Navy to protect the shipping lanes in South China Sea/ West Philippine Sea from Pirates! That's the most active area of Piracy worse than the Horn of Africa!

The situation today is totally different from the Japanese era. During that period, China was an extremely impoverished nation which could hardly feed its own population. There was wide-spread hunger in China immediately following the Cultural Revolution. Today, China has the largest economy on earth. It has modernized and broadened its military to a degree where it cannot claim that this is just for self-defense. They cannot even justify the size of their military just to get rid of a couple of pirates. That's overkill. It's like buying a .50 caliber machine gun to k*ll a couple of rats.

 

Clearly, China built up its military to enforce its claims on the West Philippine Sea. They need the natural gas and oil found underneath the West Philippine Sea to help fuel its overheated economy.

 

China is getting to close for comfort. They may not have the Philippines in their sights at the moment. But what happens if some idiot Philippine Navy officer under the influence of liquor orders his men to open fire on some Chinese ships? China will claim that we attacked them and launch a counterstrike against Metro Manila.

 

It's a scary thought that these Chinese are now so close to our territory. And who's to say that China may decide to annex the Philippines 10, 20 years from now? There's not much we can do if or when they decide to do this.

 

We cannot count on the United States to come to our aid, the Mutual Defense Treaty aside. America will always act according to its own self-interests. If China doesn't pose a threat to US security, the US won't lift a hand to help us.

 

Now, a US military presence in the Philippines could be used as some sort of bluff to the Chinese. Make them think twice before upping hostilities against ASEAN countries. The US is a counterbalance to the Chinese even if, in reality, when push comes to shove, the US will most likely abandon us.

Technically, kung naaalala mo si Limahong sa Philippine History natin, iyon ay sa panahon nang sinakop nya ang Northern Philippine Island noong 1521. Hindi ba isang Tsino siya? So, ibig lang sabihin na nakaranas ng pananakop ang Pilipinas mula sa Tsina sa pamamagitan nya. :rolleyes:

Si Limahong Chinese pirate yan! Hindi siya Imperial Chinese army na lumusob at sakupin ang Pilipinas para sa Chinese emperor! Alam ko kwento nyan dahil taga Paranaque ako! Kung di ako nagkakamali tinalo sya ng mga Espanyol at Pilipino sa Mayila kaya napatakbo si Limaho sa Pangasinan!

So we will use our fear to justify the return of US bases in the Philippines?! Eh hindi ba napaka double standard nito! Eh ang Amerika na may pinakamalaki Military presence at nagkalat sa buong mundo eh Ok lang? Pero kapag Russia o China nagtayo ng base sa labas ng bansa eh gusto na nila manakop ng iba? Di ba pwedeng seld defense lang? Sino ba talaga ang mananakop? Hindi ba ang Amerika? Gusto nila mag pulis pulisan sa boong mundo at bakit? Para lang maprotektahan ang kanilang mga sariling interest di ba? Masisise mo ba ang China o at Russia sa pag modernize at pag lake ng Miitary nila? Habang ang Amerika/ NATO patuloy na ang paglake at pag lapit sa mga teritoryo ng iba! Kaya ayan ang kanilang rason sa pag modernize ng kanilang military gaya natin na ginagawa natin rason ang China para ma modernize ang AFP!

Malinaw naman na ito pagkakasabi mo “Eh sa tagal natin kalapit bayan ang China ni minsan sinugod ba tayo nyan? At kelan tayo nilusob ng China?” hindi ba?

 

Ang pinaguusapan dito ay tungkol sa pangyayari (na nakasulat sa mga history books natin) at ng isang bansa. Samakatwid, si Limahong ay isang tsino na ibig lang sabihin ay taga Tsina. Ke pirata man sya o imperial Chinese army, hindi yan ang isyu dahil hindi mo nabanggit sa sentimyento mo. Kaya ang konklusyon ko, oo, nasugod tayo ng bansang Tsina sa pamamagitan ni Limahong. :rolleyes:

Was watching this last night, and Its very insightful

 

 

This documentary is a lobby of environmentalists that ignores technology and the issue of greater oil reserves AFTER Earth Day declaration that oil resources are about to dwindle and rapidly vanish. We are paying for the price of that poor declaration. From nowhere 20 years ago, Russian oil supply has become a major political issue that got EU countries claiming that East Europeans in former USSR cannot affiliate with an equivalent Russian economic block, despite the fact that most of East Europe were rooted in Soviet politics in the not so recent 50 years before the fall of the Berlin Wall.

People ought to read some US history too and realize that prosperity happened with technology and innovation that delivered convenience to the ordinary people. The Civil War was really about industrial development versus agrarian elitism. It was industry that created the strong middle class. The oppressed and the persecuted by the ruling kingdoms from Old and FEUDAL Europe migrated to the New World. Now where was that issue in the movie? All of a sudden the USA is the most elitist and corrupt nation in the world today. But guess why are they likewise saying that Americans have lost control and multinational corporations lobby LAWS that help corporations create wealth at the expense of the majority who suffer economically from this government misrepresentation.

 

Americans as well as ordinary people the world over are victims of the elitist lobby which creates unfair competition. Why make all Americans pay for the actions of a few who misuse government, which is not democracy, but a type of socialism where (One World) government (or the politician) plays Almighty God?

Don't look now but Donald Trump is the leading presidential aspirant in the GOP. The question is: Will his success as a real estate magnate translate to being an efficient president? He currently has a seemingly insurmountable lead over other GOP aspirants and it seems that a 2016 presidential showdown with Hillary Clinton is in the works.

Reminds me of the time Villar, a real estate magnate in his own right, ran and lost to Abnoy in the last presidential elections.
