Internationals are All Internationals supporting position of Manila.

Nobody counts on Uncle Sam these days as there is Communistic Obama who will be gone sooner or later, while making internal troubles and creating problems in Marxism coma inside, as people in US have to figure out what to do.

However, the world goes on, supporting Manila.

China has to be reminded not to come to International districts of people's freedom lands, or else be kicked about.

Trust me they weren't pissed. If they were we wouldn't have come back so many times to help in calamities. People seem to forget about that or the millions we send in humanitarian relief. But as always Filipino's come up with some plot as to why we do it.

When a country steals from you, protest you, kills it citizens then comes right back to beg for more would you help them?

So pray tell Donald since the philippines has no radar and the airports will be the first target - um how do you think you will "be long gone before an invasion" ? huh ? OH !!!! thats right you Yanks are real pros at retreat -you must have one of your "swiftboats" hidden away in subic.
They have not done so because they have no plans to do so. They are only interested in existing sovreign territorial claims, not out to conquer new territory.

China has no fear to snatch islands from its neighboring countries like Vietnam, Malaysia and PH because they know that their country is big and also has a large number of troops compared to other country. 1,200,000,000 versus to 93,000,000 in PH, with this number of population China would surely win if war would happened. If PH is as large as India, China cannot harshly snatch islands.

Mr Don...it is not really all the Filipinos who act so ungrateful, maybe a few hundreds who are on to politics and want to be known as patriots and militants. The whole country will actually kiss the foot of evry american soldier that comes in, but politicians always want to drive a wedge between them. Do not beleive all that you read, it is all half truths.

Uncle Sam is not coming because a war with China would be militarily catastrophic and economically disastrous. The USA might have the technology to win but only at a price that would never be accepted by the voters when they weighed up the value of the Philippines dubious claim on a rock versus the body bags coming home in the tens of thousands.

Even if the USA won they wouldn't get to keep the rock in dispute. So the best the USA will offer is logistical support and weapons unless they are more stupid than usual and are planning for WWIII.

The Philippines are out of their depth and being friends with the bully on the block isn't going to change that or increase the validity of their claim.

there are no maps and no proof to these "accient claims". This is fact not opinion. If the world goes by this way of thinking then all of Europe should be part of Italy,Korea should be 3 times it's size (yes cutting into China's mass), and so forth. Korea has rights and history to a huge part of northeast China. Is China willing to make this trade off?

This is your opinion and keep in mind that opinion comes from 'China". Many americans would lick their chops to get a shot at China. My gut feeling says it would be widely appreciated world wide. Wiping the floor up with China may be just what the world needs.

A fact based assessment. I agree with everything you say. When they ask Americans to go to war with China over the Philippines there is no way they will agree to it not after what we just went through from Bush and Cheney's illegal war in Iraq.

Something like this would set off a firestorm in the U.S. To pay for it they would have to raise taxes and that is something the Republicans vow to never do so it means more big time debt and over the Philippines? Never.
