U.S. 30 million military aid is an insult to the Philippines

[A1Kaid]

We have done it for far less during the Cold War against the Soviets. But of course, you probably were not even borned back then so such historical significance does not exist for you.

Not true Gambit, operations both covert and or overt against the Soviets in prominent theaters of operation during the Cold War did exceed the cost of $30 million USD.

 

[Juice]

damn it. we all Asians.

get out of here, white trash.

Lol, I'm not asian. Nice thing about being white? You can call me anything racist and it bothers me not at all, just reminds me thank god I'm white....now if I start using some choice words we have for asians, watch the crying begin!

(and as I understand it, Gambit is of asian heritage, but American, yes, it does happen)

Gambit, you can't hire countries to contain China with 30 Million.

Well, those Afghans did beat the crap out of the Soviet occupation during the Cold War.

And that with little investment, along with a rag tag army

If Philippines does come under attack, the US will aid them. They are a "major non-NATO" ally after all.

Ironically, Afghanistan recently got that little title

Senator Enrile is the same man who insulted the US by telling them to close down their bases and leave, who voted down the Friendship bill. The same man who damaged our relationship with the US military is now complaining their gift is not enough? He must be out of his mind. I hope the US ignores the nonsense coming out of his mouth.

but people voted him in. Even Cory Aquino herself was the one drove US troops out of Subic bay, weren't she?

 

[NiceGuy]

30 mil $ can buy 30 CBU-55 from US already. each CBU-55 can kill 2,500 troops, so 30 CBU-55 can blast poor PLAN to the moon

The Philippines is being insulted every day.

Some of their regime puppets have the Stockholm mentality. Even though the Filipino women are suffering heavily due to domestic violence and are being humiliated by marines, their first thought is not "we are mad and want to stop this" but "we want to kiss up to them even more, maybe if we bow down low enough, they will stop".

Opening 2nd Regular Session Speech of Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile

Closing Remarks of Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile

It has been 20 years since the historic decision of the Senate to reject the Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation, and Security between the Republic of the Philippines and the United States of America in 1991.

I must admit that our efforts to modernize the military capability of the Armed Forces are sorely lacking. Our military equipment and armaments are decrepit and worn-out. Some are perhaps obsolete.

And now an aggressive China is trying to put the 'inferior' Asians in their proper places.

Some American soldiers may not have exhibited the best of humanity while stationed in the PI, but the reality is that %99.999 of them do not wish to be there. Whatever criminality some US servicemen have committed against Filipinos, in no way do they reflect the attitudes, official and unofficial, of the US, of Americans in general, and of the US government. We left as requested. China is not going to be so understanding. And now Enrile is calling our aid 'insulting'?

The Philippines is being insulted every day.

Some of their regime puppets have the Stockholm mentality. Even though the Filipino women are suffering heavily due to domestic violence and are being humiliated by marines, their first thought is not "we are mad and want to stop this" but "we want to kiss up to them even more, maybe if we bow down low enough, they will stop".

Yeah...US troops are rampant all over the PI.

The Philippines tried rebellion over a century ago, around the time we had the Boxer Rebellion, but the Americans beat them down so hard (around 1M mil + civ death tolls) that they've been scared and obedient ever since. Kinda really sad.

How much is generous China willing to offer?

In Korea War the generous Chinese offfered NK not only money, but also blood to beat down your SK fools like cockroaches.

LOL! Just realized that you come back from a ban vacation to look for insult again?

Then please read this newest news to figure out how sick some S Koreans are, whether it is due to lack of proper education or dark side of culture:

PISCATAWAY — Minjin Oh knew his roommate was asleep in their Rutgers University dorm that night two years ago when he began to fondle the other man’s genitals and using his cellphone to make a video recording.

The roommate woke up during the assault and reported it to university police.

...

Oh’s attorney, Steven Altman, said the deal will allow his client, who is from South Korea, to avoid deportation because he faces less than a year in prison.
