Anyone who ask you to substantiate your ignorant unfounded and ill thought out opinions is an asshole.


No, it's you specifically.

You hold an opinion from a position of ignorance and you feel that makes me an asshole for asking.
Your flawless logic shines like a beacon on your alma mater, the university of dumbass.

This is not surprising given the role the Americans had in supporting Marcos in the eighties, but it does seem slightly nonsensical given the concerns over the Pilipino islands in the South China Sea.

Sticking with the Americans, however distasteful to many to many Filipinos, is a far more rational route to balancing power in the region and retaining effective links with other regional powers such as Japan and Australia.

However given Duterte's encouragement of extra-judicial killings of those suspected of drugs offences and his disregard for the laws of his own country (despite his being credited with bringing law and order to Davao, and avoiding being found responsible for the DDS), common sense is not something people can expect from him any time soon.

His populist appeal within the Pilipinas, largely based on vigilante violence and "independence" in his foreign policy, looks like it will earn him re-election. Just who will put society back together again once he goes is another matter.

The question of why remains unanswered.


No it doesn't. That I didn't answer the way you wanted me to is not my problem.


Your problem is that you have no validation for your answer.


You asked, I answered. Still not happy? Oh well, too fucking bad.

It really is too phoquing bad that you think that an opinion based on ignorance is an answer.



I've told her before that she's not very bright and doesn't communicate well. She thinks she does. The interesting thing is, studies show that lower intelligence people often have a higher opinion of their intelligence. That seems to play out with her on a regular basis. I'm betting that what is actually happening with her is that she is pretty and keeps to a small circle of friends that are mostly male and want her attention. In a few years, especially after having the baby, she'll loose that one thing in life she has and it will be devastating to her.

I have read the opinion that China fears disarray and starvation that may lead to large numbers of NKs to cross the Yalu. NKs have been escaping to China. As a result the US does not wish to make an offensive war without cause. Surely, China would not be happy to press its one carrier group against our eleven groups.

How many of those 11 are currently occupied with other issues?
China has shown that it will not tolerate a second amerikan attack on n.korea.
N.korea is not a toothless tiger as amerika learned once before.

Honestly i kind of had the same question he did. If you think the Phillipines would be better off in the long run with the US as an ally as opposed to China, what would you be basing that on? To just say "because i do" is kind of a strange answer to be coming from an intelligent person.

Another clueless ignorant comment. Based on an assumption by some domineering mens "reality" about women vs actual reality.

She is a married woman with a child. And probably a very loving mother.
FYI!

Not sure it is much to do with geography or relative sea power except in the most general sense.

Despite the Chinese incursions onto the Spratly Islands and the subsequent arbitration which China disputes, there are regular patrols by ship and air on behalf of China and NATO countries. Duterte cannot believe that China will suddenly dismantle its military outposts and agree that the islands are part of Palawan, just because he is seen now as being less in America's pocket.

Besides the Pilipinas has to look to maintain good relations with Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and Australia, all of whom would be greatly dismayed at any transfer of influence towards China in the region. In terms of investment, the Pilipinas could benefit from Chinese investment but this would cause internal problems with the business interests of the Chinese diaspora in the country who have chosen over the years not to live in the Chinese Republic for a reason. The well-established American, European and Australian business investment in the country is unlikely to be suppressed but that investment on the most part comes with fewer explicit strings than Chinese government investment, whatever the understandable anti-American sentiment amongst Filipinos.

Duterte would appear to think that he can makes gains by playing superpowers of against each other and therefore become more "independent". Given that Davao province operated as a semi-autonomous fiefdom in the midst of a what amounted to a guerilla war in Mindanao for so many years, he may have the skills to do that. However his erratic political behaviour and the way he has dismantled the basis of law and order by encouraging widespread vigilantism (which it could be argued he did in Davao) do not bode well for the future, including his relationships with other governements.

I also wish people would learn how to read and write, I just don't whine about it. I realize that many went to school in the US so you can't expect much.
