More of this will happen if the west doesn’t support Philippines or Ukraine Enough
America did it too and is trying to again
Philippines is a shithole that willingly elected the fascist Duterte as their president, they deserve no support.
Your taking about people from over 7000 islands as if it’s one entity.
So an act of war, right?
Well, according to China, those waters are their territory, which means that the presence of foreign military vessels is an invasion.
Practically speaking, I think you could call that area a contested region, so minor skirmishes like this are expected and could escalate to war (like Crimea eventually did).
I think that the Philippines approach has been something like, ‘You can claim those waters if you want, but you can’t possibly keep us from entering them, so we’re just going to ignore you until you start killing our people, and then we’re gonna call in big brother America.’
I was wondering how they “punctured” this military vessel, then I watched the video… They’re fighting it out on freaking zodiacs.
Somehow this factors into taking over Taiwan.
Anything China wants becomes “disputed” so they have an excuse to act like bullies.
