MANILA--Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said Monday his country would inevitably be drawn “kicking and screaming” into any war over Taiwan due to its proximity to the self-ruled island and the presence of large numbers of Filipino workers there, despite China’s strong protest over such remarks.
I am not really sure what they think they could do? Other than get their people killed for no reason. If America can’t beat China in the SCS how is The Phillipines gonna do it? This just reeks of posturing to me. They’d probably chicken out if any actual fighting happened. Maybe do the stuff europe did for Ukraine at the most. Sending equipment, or some volunteers.
This. If the Europeans, who are even bigger American bootlickers and who hate Russia far more than any Asian country hates China, didn’t dare to get directly involved in Ukraine, then nobody in Asia is going to get directly involved in Taiwan. Especially since they all rely on China trade far more than Europe ever relied on Russia. This idea that the US can get all the countries around China to fight China is a fantasy.
The only reason any of them do this shit is just to posture and chest beat because they know China is a peaceful nation and doesn’t want to go to war. At this point, there is a part of me that wishes China would just go ahead and take Taiwan back. Just so we cpuld see all the shocked Pikachu faces from these cowards as they run for the hills.
