Laos is under the Vietnamese sphere of influence, and so is Cambodia. It is in her (Vietnam's) national interest to retain superfluous political, economic and military clout in these two countries as a means to counter Thailand, which is Vietnam's # 1 concern in South East Asia.

I for one say the Philippine Navy's BRP Del Pilar and the BRP Alcaraz test out their new firepower on this Chinese junk. That's one hell of a political message.

Addendum: Laos and Cambodia are both pawns of Vietnam. Of course, at the irritation of Thailand. Why so depreciative? Call center agents in the Philippines are highly educated; many of them hold nursing, medical, even engineering degrees. Don't be infantile and narcissistic. Strategic...

There is no denial of the tenacity and temerity of the Vietnamese fighting spirit. Despite the immense firepower of the US Airforce, and the US Navy, they were able to gain control of South Vietnam. The Chinese 'strategic' withdrawal from Vietnam's northern provinces was nothing more than a...

Just sink the ship. Its useless junk. As for the poachers, let full weight of the Philippine Law rain down on them.

That's one strong "mouse", strong enough to force the retreat of the PLA from North Vietnam after they failed to take Hanoi in the Sino-Vietnamese War of 1979, at the same time, failing to prevent the Vietnamese toppling of the Beijing-backed Khmer Rouge. Big time strategic failure. That...

[/I] Pray may I ask, and you think that the United States will allow that to happen? Conventionally, the full might of the 7th and 5th fleet will be sent to the waters adjacent to and within the Sea of Japan. There are ramifications to any North Korean aggression, wherein the Japanese Self...

hahahaha! epic retort.

The Mighty One never left the area. :)

China is a signatory of the non-nuclear proliferation pact. If you were to hypothetically launch a nuclear strike on the Philippines, a non-nuclear power, then the PRC would be condemned by the entire global community. The United States would glass the entirety of China and erase the entire...

Jews are smart because they are the Chosen people of God. Everything they do -- they succeed in. And every one of their enemies were vanquished.

The United States Navy patrols the waters of the South China Sea on regular basis; the traversing of the 6th, 5th and 7th fleets is testament to this. Our classical alliances in Asia-Pacific serve our purpose of maintaining our hegemony in the region and in containing China. China cannot...

Incorrect. There remains an independent nation called Mongolia, who remains ever-close to Russia. This nation has a capital, too, named Ulan Bataar. Of course it does. Russian ruling class determined the Russian Tzardom for a thousand years. The French ruling class maintained the French...

Refer to my prior post. It is quite tantamount -- it is well within American strategic interests to keep nations around China to remain antagonistic to China. As we speak, the United States is fostering greater cooperation between classical allies in the Asia-Pacific Region: 1) Japan 2)...

There never was a state called "Germany" prior to the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, which lead to the collapse of the 2nd French Empire and to the establishment of the 1st German Empire (otherwise known as the 2nd Reich) under Kaiser Wilhelm. Prior to that, centuries actually, there was a concept...

The Qing Dynasty was not Chinese, but of ethnic Manchu origin, who are much more closer to the Jurchen tribal culture ; alien to the Han culture of the south. The last Han dynasty was the Ming Dynasty , which collapsed in the late 17th century , which , in regards to Confusion political...

Please, do think before you post. China is a signatory of the Non-nuclear proliferation pact. Vietnam is not a nuclear power nor does it have nuclear capability; if the Chinese were to launch a nuclear strike on Vietnam, the repercussions would be catastrophic. Not to mention the close proximity...

bwahahaha! i couldn't agree more.
