camiar Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 i think it is incumbent for any citizen to fight for his country...so the question of 'will you fight for your country'...is immaterial...the answer is "of course !"with our backs against the wall or the idea of being cowed by conquerors will make us angry ...take up arms, rise and fight... Red60 and inverbrass are in a bind because after making a lot of noise about the futility of fighting the Chinese and questioning the sanity of those who say they are willing to fight, they now cannot say it is NOT their duty to fight because it will reveal what they really are --- "Realists" .

SaintPeter5858 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) Ask help from our big brother Uncle Sam. He can always establish a Naval Base anywhere. That solves the problem ^^^ We are talking about military strength and the duty to defend our country from agressors. When you talk about how the Chinese will sink all our ships, shoot down all our planes, and make mincemeat of all our soldiers, that is all about physical, violent and deadly fight. We are talking about a shooting war! But when I asked what would you do if you are called to duty to face the Chinese agressors, you suddenly switch to fight against cancer, AIDS, and TB? WTF are you talking about? Try answering this question again: Will you say that it is no longer your duty to fight to defend our territory because it is futile against the almighty Chinese? Chinese are NEVER almighty. They are just a bunch of beggars collecting garbage from Russia Edited August 2, 2011 by TheSmilingBandit Quote Link to comment

wolflove_bigdawg Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 with the Chinese, it's hard not to be a racist. and make a racist joke Quote Link to comment
SaintPeter5858 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) At least they collect, unlike us beggars of US and still unable to collect. Hahaha! but that's something to do with culture. We have to admit that a lot of us Filipinos are not keen about saving and investing. We just live one day at a time with the Chinese, it's hard not to be a racist. and make a racist joke It's not racist at all. Truth is, I'm half chinese and my gf is 3/4 Chinese; she just arrived the other month after a 2-month vacation with her family in Beijing. We're just describing the situation as it really is. That China can never be a superpower within the next 10 or so years because it uses 15-years old jets from Russia Edited August 2, 2011 by TheSmilingBandit Quote Link to comment
artvader Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 At least they have 15-year-old jets. We've got 60-year-old propeller planes. Wish we could modernize our military sooner. Quote Link to comment
SUICIDAL333 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 let the UN diplomats do their job of settling this international issue. Quote Link to comment
SUICIDAL333 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 and if diplomacy fails? Keep trying until you succeed. Even the Japs resorted to diplomacy when they surrendered to the Americans during the WWII. Quote Link to comment

That's a reality check for us. We really need to improve in many areas, we cannot deny that. One at a time lang hehehe Quote Link to comment

Even the Japs resorted to diplomacy when they surrendered to the Americans during the WWII. yup, after two of their cities were bombed to extinction which is still being felt by the survivors until now. unfortunately, we don't have such bombs.

They are just a bunch of beggars collecting garbage from Russia The U.S. economy is falling apart, and around 40 pct of its war costs is funded through foreign loans. China is one of its main creditors and trading partners. That's probably why the U.S. isn't helping PH except by providing surplus war materiel to the latter. China is part of BRIC.

SaintPeter5858 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 China doesn't have the technology to dominate the Pacific Region yet. So why worry about it? Even many Filipino-chinese like me are not impressed by the performance of China Quote Link to comment
