KEY Thread Best Posts in Thread: The reawakening of the Philippines

And where are these crime stats? What happened to the police chief for releasing the actual crime data during Daturd's election?

I call BS since his speeches are not done in Japanese. And "defense obligations" sounds a whole lot like they want the US to do ALL of the defending for them. They have had more than a half century to build their country without having to worry about maintaining a functional military, they are basically operating the country without any concern over defending it....yet look what they have managed to accomplish. They kick the US out of the country, China starts claiming disputed islands as their own....and now the Philippines wants to say that the US isn't doing enough to defend their territory. Everyone's fault but theirs.
