That ain't real. Its best presented to mediamen. Look however stupid you can be not to comprehend what we are experiencing, you may never understood it.

But Granted that US is indeed keeping their promise to fight for us and If US is willing to die for us, they would have aggressively taking scarborough shoal for the PH but NOOooo. US instead tend to give advice to Aquino to declare war to China, what could have happen if we go war against China?

What we do want instead is to see US do actions and maybe eve before the Chinese created those facilities there in scarborough.

But anyway, if one like you are stupid to understand it then i guess its worth leaving US without an ally here in Southeast.

US didn't chose a side at all. Any agreement between US and Philippines never mention anything about fighting to defend us. They are all vague and no one is willing to die for us and thise military excercises are just crazy shit. The US sold us some planes without missles, military excercises allow us to use US weapons but were never given to Us. Ain't that shit?

West ph sea is our to burn.

The United States Asiatic Fleet was a fleet of the United States Navy during much of the first half of the 20th century. Preceding the World War II era, until 1942, the fleet protected the Philippine Islands. Much of the fleet was destroyed by February of that year, after which it was dissolved and incorporated into the naval component of the Southwest Pacific Area command, which eventually became the 7th Fleet.

The Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) was an international organization for collective defense in Southeast Asia created by the Southeast Asia Collective Defense Treaty, or Manila Pact, signed in September 1954 in Manila, Philippines. The formal institution of SEATO was established on 19 February 1955 at a meeting of treaty partners in Bangkok, Thailand [1] The organization's headquarters were also in Bangkok. Eight members joined the organization.

Primarily created to block further communist gains in Southeast Asia, SEATO is generally considered a failure because internal conflict and dispute hindered general use of the SEATO military; however, SEATO-funded cultural and educational programs left long-standing effects in Southeast Asia. SEATO was dissolved on 30 June 1977 after many members lost interest and withdrew.

The United States still considers the mutual defense aspects of its treaty active for Australia, France, New Zealand, Philippines, Thailand, and the United Kingdom.

If the US can chose a side between China and Philippines they should have done it but the cowards can't. And this isn't propaganda as you thought. US can't win vs China.

After hesitating for years, the United States has finally decided to openly challenge China in the West Philippine Sea, deploying destroyers into the 12 nautical miles radius of Chinese-occupied land features in the area.

Given the massive power asymmetry between China and its smaller neighbors, only the United States has the wherewithal to challenge Beijing’s unremitting quest for maritime dominance in East Asia. And to the delight of its Asian allies, particularly the Philippines and Japan, the Obama administration is finally drawing a line in the sand

Like never before, America is directly challenging China’s sovereignty claims in the area, even if this carries the risk of heightened Sino-American tensions ahead of the APEC and ASEAN summits next month, if not potential clashes between American and Chinese armed forces. No less than the future of the Asian order hangs in the balance.

Refusing to acknowledge China’s sovereignty claims over artificially-created islands in the area, the United States Navy’s (USN) guided-missile destroyer (USS Lassen) has pierced into the 12 nautical miles radius of Beijing-occupied land features on a regular basis

On paper, the United States professes neutrality on the sovereignty claims of competing claimant states in the South China Sea. But its recent decision to conduct freedom of navigations operations – deploying surveillance vessels and possibly even reconnaissance aircrafts – within the 12 nautical miles radius of China’s artificially-created islands represents a de facto rebuke of China’s territorial claims in the area.

How powerful is a US Navy carrier strike group compared to other navies?
I heard that a deployed CSG is more powerful than most (or maybe all) other countries entire navies. Is this true? How would one measure this?

The first thing to understand about U.S. aircraft carriers is that they are very big and very well defended.  They displace ~100,000 tons of water, making them the biggest warships ever constructed, and their four-acre decks hold dozens of multi-role fighters superior to anything operated by Russia/China’s air force or navy.  They typically are escorted by cruisers or destroyers carrying the Aegis combat system — the world’s most sophisticated air defense system — and nuclear-powered attack submarines.  Since the carriers themselves are nuclear-powered, they are always moving and unconstrained by logistical needs.

China, India are just beginning to play with carriers - they are in a developmental stage and not capable of on-demand performance for delivering strategic air power.
 
Given then that only the US, Russia and maybe France could deliver nuclear weapons via CSG then that answers the question, is a USN CSG more powerful than MOST other countries' entire navy and the answer is yes.

Given that the USN operational performance levels are probably higher than and we have 10 strategic carriers vs one for France and one for Russia, its also true that the USN CSG is at least as powerful as any other navy if not more so.

Dutertes choice with China is not logical in any way. There is probably more to this story.

And the bomb in Hiroshima was sent by aliens?   Vietnam was not during world war 2, but many years after. The US defeated Japan in the late 1940s when they surrendered. Your history knowledge is messed with propaganda, US won many wars including Civil War, war with Mexico and WW2  

Duterte's methods of handling drugs ain't that good but it is effective. It ain't good because he kills the drug abusers so that the others will surrender themselves and take oath to not take drugs again. The one I don't like too is that he decided to ally with China who is currently trying to own Spratly Islands and it is like just giving it away to them. Hope his decisions won't get the Philippines into a really bad situation in the future for now ill just watch his actions to see if he really have what it takes to change the Philippines for the better.

The philippines already has the world messed up history and all those ruler didn't win any fight but negotiated to buy the country for thier own benifit. You didn't win a war. Didn't even win veitnam war. And US Navy can't get pass SouthChina Sea thats the reality now.
