Philippines calling for Uncle Sam’s help
It was around 1992 when the Philippines voted to throw the
United States military out of their country.
Now some twenty-one years later they want Uncle Sam (United States of
America) to return. Some
background:
Some years ago when the Communist government in China
started building up and modernizing their military their neighbors in Asia were
concerned. To alleviate the fears of
their neighbors the commies stated their military buildup was purely for peace.
The problem is China’s neighbors thought they meant “peace,”
when what they really meant was “piece.”
A piece of the Philippines (Scarborough Shoal). A piece of Vietnam (territorial waters off
Vietnam). A piece of Japan (the Senkaku
Islands). A piece of India (invading the
border region between the two nations).
The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea –
UNCLOS, establishes a 200 mile Exclusive Economic Zone – EEZ, off the coast of
nations out to the sea.
However the commies in China have a different interpretation
of reality. They are ignoring the EEZ’s
established by the United Nations and established their own zone claiming
virtually all of the South China Sea.
They are blatantly violating the EEZ’s of Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Brunei, and the Philippines.
With the Spratly Islands belonging to the Philippines, the commies are
claiming these islands also.
The Scarborough Shoal within the Philippine EEZ has been forcibly
stolen by the Chinese. This land / water
grab has ruined the livelihood of many Filipinos in the Western Philippines. The government of the Philippines allowed
China’s aggressive, bully behavior according to the article (link below)
because China’s military is too massive.
The peaceful or piece-full commie military with evil sinister designs on
their neighbors. Remember, commies never
make good neighbors.
Because of the commies belligerent behavior the Philippine
is negotiating with the USA to increase American’s naval force in the region. The Philippine will allow the U.S. Navy to
use current Philippine navy bases rather than establishing USA bases on the
islands.
