Actually, what happened was America offered us independence and in exchange they would have clark and subic among other things. Up to this day we are still an American colony in all but name. With the US having been responsible for 2 coups.

And so Dedollarisation is Coming

People really thought Philippines didn't try to be neutral. when Philippines took the neutral stance China built artificial islands with military bases inside Philippine waters. if it was any other country it would have already started a war but Philippines tried talking to China only to be ignored. the only time China listens is when Philippines involve USA in the talks. at the end of the day with or without US, Philippines was already a target of China since the beginning.
You're really asleep. Spratlies and scs was china territory since ancient times to right after ww2 after 1947.
It was never Philippines territory. Philippines robbed china spratlies in the 70s. And china is reclaiming them.
You are the cause of the conflict . And now you allow USA bases to confront china rise.
Risking instability and conflicts in this region.
@@yewsekwang155 "Ancient times" there you go, borders have been redrawn multiple times now, also international laws recognizes it as Philippine territory

Indeed. CCP Hypocrisy at its finest.

Vietnam has the most bases in the Spratly's. They should be reminded also not to push others around.
@@LordMarksman14 They don’t. That’s the key difference between Viet Nam and China.
It's good to counter China but I wouldn't get too comfortable with America. They're known for destroying nations such as Iraq, Libya, and many more when things don't go their way. They also fund Israel to continue their bullying of Palestinians and killing of innocent Palestine children.
US doesn't build any military bases in the Philippines but they have given access to military bases of the Philippines.
Basically the U.S are using Philippine Army bases, yes there are being build but the Philippine Army has full control of it. It is different military bases of the US where basically military bases of the US before acted as like a embassy where they have full control of it.
I am a Filipino and ive seen many non Filipino misunderstood why Philippines allow the US to be in the Philippines and to have bases. Philippines are doing it for its own interests and not for the U.S or Taiwan.
Philippines has decided to decide base on its own needs. Philippines is an independent country not a inferior country that is obliging everything the US said.
Just a clarification in behalf of all Filipinos.
It’s mutual interest, we want to hem the Chinese in you want them to leave you alone, they’ll probably not attack your mainland or they’ll risk you joining a fight on USA side. You give us a forward bases
we give deterrence.
they are giving budget to base improvement upgrade to accommodate them
The US bases boosted the local economy where ever they were. Why are you people so opposed to American bases. It’s not like we are demons spreading parasites. We are treaty bound to protect the Philippines, having a few military bases in territory no one else is using only helps the Philippines
The Philippines has no choice since they have a Mutual Defense agreement with the U.S.
An attack on the Philippines or an attack against the U.S. forces would bring war to both countries against the aggressor country.
So even if Philippine President says the Philippine bases housing American forces cannot be used against Red China if it invades Taiwan.
He forgot that the Mutual Defense agreement would be invoked by the U.S.
and they will use all their dispersed forces housed in Philippine military bases against Red China in Taiwan.
The Philippines has no choice but to let the U.S. forces use the bases
since if U.S. is in war against Red China then the Philippines is also at war already against Red China.
So Paul you say that you are a Filipino? Almost nobody in your country knows that the Americains killed at least 1 million of your people between 1898 and 2010. Killing babies, women, girls, raping them too, murdering old people, live stock, burning villages to the ground. They have been committing genocides and unspeakable atrocities and warcrimes.
Why is it that most of the Filipinos nowadays dont know about this?
Its not in the schoolbooks?
Why not, did the boss of the Filipines, the USA, has forbiden that?
The Filipinos are kissing the ass now of their mass murderers.
Dont get me wrong, I deeply love the Filipines and their beautiful people.
I dont love baby killers. Nobody should love babykillers.
A big reason why Clark Air Base closed was because it was completely covered and destroyed by the Pinatubo volcanic eruption. The cost of rebuilding the base, especially given the changing political landscape, was deemed to be too high.
We filipinos are peace loving people but if we are being pushed too much we are not afraid to fights and die for our country🎉

Not just increasing American presence, the Philippines Navy has also been modernized in the past 10 years.
They can't stand up to the Chinese.
At its current rate, they will take decades just to complete their wishlist composed of 6 frigates, 12 corvettes, and 6 submarines.

@@GabrielLopez-mo2xo It’s also the PRC that is interested in changing the status quo by force. They would need to move troops and supplies to Taiwan. The other parties to a conflict would need to interdict them.
Binkov surprisingly nailed maybe 70-80% of the pronunciation of Filipino places. His pronunciation of "Palawan" is wrong, but more acceptable than most western narrators' pronunciation versions.

The UK and Australia are presently negotiating their own military forces with the Philippine government.
An excellent point of view,giving us an idea how important is the Philippines in case Chinese invade Taiwan, thank you and “ GOD” bless you
I'm impressed by your use of the historically correct Restauración Spanish flag and 48-star US flag during 2:02-2:16. That is admirable attention to detail!
Something not mentioned in the video and not understood by a lot. The Philippines was trying very hard to appease China for 6 whole years under Duterte. He went against the US and pretty much was a lap dog to the Chinese. This DID NOTHING to even slow or lessen Chinese incursion, bullying, harassment, and territorial expansion. In fact, they just kept doubling down.
Simply put, if this move from the Philippines surprises you, then you've been largely unaware of what has been happening for a decade now in the Philippine Sea. The Philippines is not "caught in the crossfire", the US was the one invited to this party. Which it gladly, for its own interests, jumped in. China loves acting surprised by this because it helps to paint the image that the US is the aggressor here and that China totally weren't the one that caused the Philippines to lean towards the US for help.
Bruh this is the only valid comment in this comment section
Remember that time when the UK turned a fishing dispute with Iceland into nuclear war? No, me neither. Stop apologizing for American plutocrat warmongers
@@AFGuidesHD yes we'll find those nukes that Phillipines owns at least with that Philippines will be able to make a case and not be ignored
But selling out to the US creates more problem than solving current ones. What will this be solving? Didnt the harassment got much harsher? And now arming the islands to the teeth. Who will be dying when the war comes? Of course the Filipino civilians. If the payment of the lives of millions if war occurs are piece of islands and some bullying of fishermen. Then let them have it, thats a very small price to pay for young men, women, children that will be dying. Pride is a Sin. Too much of it will kill you and your friends & family, sometimes you need to kneel to save your people.
@@AFGuidesHDAs a Chinese in Southeast Asia who had a Chinese education and was brought up to be proud of our chinese heritage, my country had a look east policy since late 90s early 00s. If US wanted a military base on our islands, we would politely tell them to eff off. If they wanted us to in anyway alter our trade and diplomatic relations with China, we would tell them to pound sand.
China was friendly and never threatening. We were happy to conduct trade and diplomatic relations as equal partners. We had a favourable view of a resurgent China. The Beijing Olympics was really something we were so proud of.
And then the current XiJinPing Wolf Warrior cadre came into power and we saw the not so subtle shift in China's disposition.
They no longer conduct trade and diplomatic relations with us as equal partners. They know they can take what they want, when they want, and are not afraid to let you know it. They are not known to overtly threaten, but are more given to holding a dagger to you under cloak while careful to maintain a smile when facing you.
They employ bullying, cajoling, bribery, blackmailing, coersion and actively subvert our political information space to their own ends. All mistakes the USA made in days past.
They have since forcefully took our internationally recognized (or at least disputed) islands, unilaterally enforced their own version of redrawn international borders, and even blew up some of our fishing boats and detained our fishermen.
And we could do nothing about it.
Now, we openly welcome the USA to help us stand up to this backyard bully.
Until you have been threatened by a expansionist neighbour in your backyard, you will not understand how unnerving it is.
China's own conduct has caused us to forget about our Look East policy.
For some of their misadventures, we are thankful that the US has wielded their dominant military might with some semblance of self-restraint on the world stage.
I cannot honestly say that the current Chinese leadership would show the same restraint had they been the pre-eminent military force of the world. They would likely well be another Russia.
The Philippines have realized they need the US if want to keep their economic exclusion zone. I spend time in PI back in the 1980s when I was on active duty in the Marine Corps. I love the people, culture, and history of the Philippines.
even if Philippines stay neutral China will still take the Philippines because they need it so they can put up their naval bases to have access to the pacific ocean so they can compete with America.
finally, China will take all ASEAN countries and Australia
I never realized how close Tawain and Philippians are😮
US increased presence in the pacific like Eastern Europe is being driven by demand. Phillipines was pivoting more towards China for a while and was increasing leaning towards wanting to ditch all the us bases but as China continues to be aggressive in the South China Sea and harass their fishermen they are increasingly wanting us to reaffirm its commitment security wise.
Let’s just hope when the Chinese pop over we don’t have another democrat President as Obama showed his strong backbone by verbally protesting the seizure of Filipino territory rather than…doing something about it
Maybe ole Joey boy learned from his predecessor, at least in Ukraine he did
@@looinrims Considering Joe Biden has been the most effective anti-China POTUS to date in terms of policies instituted by his administration and Congress, I'd say it's safe to assume he has no illusions about China.
@@looinrims I think Biden was always more of a security type politician. Obama was over his head and weak. Probably frustrated Biden when he was the VP.

GOOD JOB US FOR THE INTEREST OF THE WORLD & PHILIPPINES
Thanks you so much america for helping the philippines. God bless.
The Philippines should allow the US to put up a US base at the mentioned island of Balabac looks very strategic with an air and naval base in that location
It's an important chokepoint to the Sulu sea and the rest of southeast Asia so indeed, that's why it's being considered. Apart from that, the northernmost island of the Philippines (Y'ami / Mavulis island) is home to a military detachment. It's the closest island to Taiwan (it's much closer to Taiwan than Luzon) and is in a perfect spot to put surveillance and early warning systems to the Bashi channel.
The whole of the Philippines already belongs to the U.S. , even the Fillipino women.!!

@@OhFookinELL that's the excellent China propaganda.
@@JosephHoggang-bk4bk
How can it be propaganda if it’s fact. 😂
@@OhFookinELLsoo, the Philippines, which were a colonial state of the US (probably bred some resentment there) would rather side with the US than China. Unless of course you think that the US puppet mastered them or something similar. You know, taking away the agency of the entire Philippines. Because of course they do whatever the US says xD.
Joseph......America isnt a friendly country at all. They have massacred 1 million Filipine people between 1898 and 2010. They behaved as the troops of Djenghis Khan, killing babies, raping girls and women, burning many villages to the ground. Thee isn t a warcrime that they did not commit in the Filipines. Like they did in Vietnam, Korea, Laos and Cambodia and other places.
You know with all the "look at me" Russia and China have done in the past two decades via tradional and socialmedia, you would think America and her military branches were not doing anything of note in that time. But, silence can be deafening in the prelude to a major conflict. Teddy Roosevelt once said "Speak softly but carry a big stick!" Getting back to the Philippines is a pretty big stick, and the tech that will populate theses bases will make China abit more cautious. I wonder what new goodies we'll see in the years to come from the US.
I don't think the Chinese military has too much to fear from the Americans having drag shows in Manila
@billrosenstein ah, and here's the ccp ( actually russian troll) fun police. Is Winnie-the-Pooh treating you well.
The new goodies coming will be ditching of US dollar cos if excessive defense spending and a bankrupt nation that can only start more external wars to distract itself from domestic issues
@@billrosenstein Well, if Emma and her two moms are to serve here in the Philippines, I believe the Chinese would just be dumbfounded and then deploy their ultimate weapon against the Americans - wrong gender pronouns.
Sorry, just can't help but joke around the clown things happening their in America.

Thanks for the tremendous effort in putting these highly informative videos together!
Filipino's cannot only help the US in allowing them access to bases. Filipinos can also serve in the US Military as well. I served during Desert Storm/Shield. Even now there are thousands of Filipinos in the US Military. My son for example is a Lt. Cmdr in the US Navy. Technically he's American because he is born in the US unlike me.
Philippines must start acquiring and creating drones as deterrent.
Watch battle of Marawi. They already use that ahead of Ukraine. That's how the AFP flushed them terrorists in Mindanao.
China screwed up. Philippines wanted to be neutral to China Taiwan conflict but the fact that China keeps harassing Filipino fishermen and coastguard gave them no choice to invite the U.S to open up bases in Luzon thus making it more difficult to try and invade Taiwan.
China is helping Philippines with MRT LRT lines, or not.

MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS! GOD Bless the Philippines 🎉
@ 2:55 the US left the Philippines in 1992 because of the 1991 catastrophic volcano damage to to the bases and the US Congress did not want to spend money repairing the damage. Plus, the US' lease to those bases were expiring in early 1992 anyway, so they left, not because the Philippines "did not want them anymore".
DDS downvoted this video. I won't be surprised if suddenly china found fake ancient fisherman map claiming Long Island actually belongs to them. Spratley Island 3.0.

Thank god for the comment section experts.
What would UA-cam be without their infallible assessments?
Wouldn’t really characterize these as new US bases, this is more about verifying usability of Philippine facilities, making changes as needed, introducing new weapons to Philippine military and interoperability training with Philippine military.
PS - Recently U.S. Marine Corps has activated its first unit that will be equipped with ground-launched Tomahawk cruise missiles.
Remember your OPSEC my friend. No need to brag to a general audience.

It also allows for more dispersion of US forces which can help minimize losses.
The numerous bases also allows for dispersion of US forces, complicating Chinese ballistic missile targeting.

While Philippines was rejecting US defense support it was a big green light to China to build bases in the South China Sea. It was like shooting yourself in the foot. Now they realize it was a big mistake but It is too late to stop China bullying the Philippines in their own fishing waters.
And yes, Australia and the UK will be there with the US in defending Taiwanese democracy.
the UK and Australia will be mostly useless in this regard.
The Chinese have been building those bases even before Duterte and the US proved unreliable. China and the US have geostrategic interests with the Philippines, and it would be in the Philippines best interest to start a bidding war for it's support. If you are going to be under a superpower it would be better to choose for yourself.
The US was useless when it comes to Chinese incursion, that's why we adopted a "bamboo policy" similar to other ASEAN states (Vietnam, Thailand, etc.), greatly enhancing economic cooperation, thus more resources for our country and military, while strengthening our own military to ensure neutrality and self-defensive capabilities.
US isn't interested of the PH, it's only interested in its First Island Chain and Taiwan, we're have nothing to be grateful for the US, as they were even the one who keeps intereferring with our procurement of military hardwares, such as the Russian Mi-17 Helicopters, and the Turkish ATAK T129 Attack Helicopters.

True
Philippines suffered during WW2. For sure it will suffer again in case WW3 happens. Filipinos fought many wars between, Spaniards, Americans, Japanese, Koreans, even the war in Borneo, Communists, and the latest with Isis. Not to mention the Iraq, and Golan Heights as UN Peacekeepers. Never will the Filipino Soldiers will back down in any fight from any adversaries regardless if outnumbered or with less technological capabilities. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
No country will exempted when world war3 breaks out.
War with China is not good! The battle of Manilla was one of the worst battles in WWII with one of the highest casualty rates for civilians. I worry about the Phillipines and I worry about my Phillipino friends. Yet, U.S. citizens are safe and far away. The U.S. is always starting stuff that other people must suffer for. Stay neutral and unaligned. No more war.
They are just Punching bags of world powers of their time frome Spanish to American to Japanese to chinese now🤣
But they hate China most~
Am I the only one who noticed the usual sign off is missing “remember, Binkov May talk about theoretical war, but only real peace can bring us all together.”
that could be considered a bad omen. But I don't think that either China or the US would be stupid enough to get into a hot war.
Russia though, might do something hot outside of Ukraine. Or it might collapse... only time will tell
He isn’t doing that anymore for obvious reasons.
It’s getting a lot less hypothetical.
While the AFP might not have a direct role in the theoretical PRC-US war, the AFP can take on a heavy support role with ensuring the supply lines stay intact and materiel is securely transported into the front. Protecting territorial integrity done by AFP will also ensure that the US Armed Forces will focus its efforts on containing the Chinese threat on Taiwan or in the West Philippine Sea.
those bases in the philippines are not just about protecting taiwan, they are also there to prevent the chinese from invading the philippines, like the japanese did during WW2.

Good job US
10:30 I would also add that the stress on airframes per sortie is much higher for carrier based craft than for land based craft. The higher acceleration and *much* higher deceleration are a significant burden on sustainment. For this reason, even carrier-capable aircraft prefer operating from land bases whenever possible.
In wartime nobody is going to consider that. Too many rockets flying around. Too many engines getting taxed to the limit. Too many shrapnel hits. Alot more things are going to happen to retire a particular bird than how many times it landed and what it landed on. Maneuvering to avoid a SAM or air to air missile will do more to stress an airframe mission after mission than what you propose. However in peace time it is something to consider long term.

Sex industry will be thriving!!!! Cum to think of it, the most money Philippines ever received from the US was for sex.
As just a fat civilian in a computer chair, I think this the goal of this to use this power projection as a deterrent. Its basically saying, "Look, we like Taiwan as it is. We are putting more bases around here to prove it." Neither side wants war. The cost in lives would be tragic and the cost in materials would be astronomical. Plus China is already running short on manpower, literally, thanks to their blindingly stupid 1 child policy that means there are not enough women alive today. If they have mass casualties in a war, their workforce will be devastated. Russia didnt have that same policy, but their already having the same thing happen.
china care less if loss 1 billion ppl less too feed.
Except Taiwan is just bait not the goal. The Goal is pushing US out of Asia, so escalating with China is playing into China's hand. China won't even invade Taiwan, it will blockade it and start taking out US assets
Go ph and usa!!!

We are not stupid to become a pawn of two gigantic superpowers in their war. We want a peaceful life here in the Philippines. But the actions of China is not really good and acceptable anymore. That is why, we're looking for military alliances to the United States. The main purpose that new EDCA sites are deterrence not to provoke China. To defend our own sovereign territories in the West Philippine Sea.🇵🇭
Deterrence also brings provocation according to Red China’s spokespeople.
Red China will target the Philippine military bases housing American forces once hostilities start.
This is the risk that the Philippines has to accept in hosting American forces.
@@fides249 Whats make you think, china will not attack Philippines even without US presence??? China already attack India, Vietnam, Tibet and even Taiwan in the past.

As greedy as China is it would be naive to think the US put EDCA in place to defend the Philippines. It is for their own interest. We are just benefiting from it.

Yes, Team USA is a saver, never go to war with other countries, never kill people around the world, and let's keep forgetting what you did.
The USA literally killed 200,000+ Filipinos during the war, Stole Philippines independence when the Philippines basically pushed out Spain.

Although it is a sly plan, it is a smart plan. Basically, the filipino soldiers will take care of defending the territory and bases from Chinese invasion. While the US will just focus with the on going offensive. The big difference here from Okinawa , is that the bases are connected in a land based travel, they can get fast support from the locals and relocation of troops on the spot. While the Okinawa base won't get that much relief when bombarded.
Okinawa has a massive movement to remove US soldiers.
@@fsexplorer9727 That is outweighed the overwhelming majority of Japanese popular opinion that supports hosting US bases.
@@fsexplorer9727 keep up with modern times, that movement from the Okinawan was in 2018 before the China tension between Japan and China. Now China is stoking tensions, the Chinese have given the Japanese their calling cards for military expansion. The Japanese even put aside their Pacifist Laws to allow the expansion. We all know how the Japanese handled the Chinese last time and it wasn't good for the Chinese.
@@Nesstor01 I'm not an expert on Okinawa, so I'll give you that. But your last point on Japan "Handling" china is dum and ignores the entireity of the period, but it's unimportant to your main point. I'm just annoyed everybody keeps on saying "China will fall in x" and then it doesn't.
@@fsexplorer9727 China has a collapsing demography, a housing bubble that makes the one that caused the '08 Crash look tiny, and is completely reliant upon American goodwill to keep the lights on and the people of China fed.
I'm not going to put a date on it, but it doesn't take a genius to see that China is pretty much fucked.

If China invaded Taiwan,whether we the filipinos like it or not,we get involved,
Several of our Northernmost Islands will get occupied by the PLA if war breaks out between China and Taiwan,
Our gov't makes the decision,allowed the US forces to have(additional) EDCA sites and in turn US will help us in our modernization efforts since we are shifting from internal defense to external(territorial)defense
The US is only modernising your military so your armies will be the first to die, like pawns in a chess game this is what you are, a Colony not a nation in a war against China don't count on winning this war without sustaining massive death rolls.
Taiwan is a part of China.Not a part of Phillipin,if Philipin want to enter war with China for being dog of USA.We Chinese also dare to start WW3.
@神羽.洛 stop being a bully and stop claiming all the island in the south east Asia and there will be peace. CCP started this mess now prepare to die MF
A perceptive view. The Philippines will fight besides the US, it is a given. Which will mean the Philippines will be at war with China. The Philippines will be the Ukraine equivalent in Asia. Taking that view, the Philippines better allocate more resource and men to that war now. Hopefully the Philippines will do as well as Vietnam.
And I agree that China will take the islands in the north and even Pahlawan, and then do what Russia is doing to Ukraine, bomb Manila, all the logistics centres and bases. Like Ukraine, China will try to destroy Philippines economy. ASEAN and Southern Philippines will probably see a huge influx of Philippines war refugees, potentially the Communist and the MLNF might be reactivated due to the change in status quo and potential arms support from China.
If the Philippines takes this course of action, it needs to prepare seriously.
@@yuluoxianjun taiwan is part of philipin... we call it formosa and because china bully us, we bully back and if china starts world war 3, we will be wiped out....
So does china😂😂😂
great video
May I remind you that yesterday the US signed a security deal with Papua New Guinea. To my dear Chinese supporters: ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
The biggest screw up in our history is when our congress voted the US bases out in '91. I'm just glad that the Americans are back.

Wow, look at all of the chinese propaganda shills. I'm shocked.
(sarcasm)
Let us see if the chinese will still continue their bullying habit.
How in the world you think antagonising China further would help stop their "bullying" tactics that they adopted specifically because they feel threatened to begin with is beyond me. If smoking gave you cancer, you wouldn't smoke MORE to get rid of the cancer, would you?
US is most peaceful nation and never bullying. God bless USA🎉

Binkov, love your videos, but they overlook the firepower of the Seawolf Submarines stationed around Taiwan with Tomahawk missiles. Add to them the Virginia class subs, too.
They can each reach hundreds of miles into China and take out most industrial base.
Especially 3 gorges dam under fire will devastate 1000 cities submerge under water, to any catastrophic event that has significant impact on environment and human life, that can trigger earthquake, landslides & epidemics.
I told you Philippine will have a big role in this situation for the past 2 years 😑
Another thing to take note is that with land bases, the US can use its F22s for air defense. The F22s are vastly superior air superiority fighters than the F35s which are mainly air-to-ground fighters, but are more expensive and are incompatible with carriers. F22s will play a role in repelling China's air-superiority fighters in Taiwan and the Philippines as well.
Still requires a ship repair facility.
It always been true that the single very best way to have peace is to have a very strong preparation for war.
Filipino Chinese help the mandarin speaking Chinese political leaders , to increase trade. during the rule of Deng Siao Ping. In the time of Xi Jinping all those help have put aside without any gratitude. The reason Filipinos were encourage to defend themselves against an animal , who is a dragon who only had a passion to rule greedily.
China has benefited the Philippines with infrastructure. What do you offer the region except war and death?
Yeh! I heard the chinese blood people from Phillipines, Malaysia, Indonesia and so on don’t get along with mainland chinese. What i heard is that the mainland ones are snobby/cocky towards the island ones
5% of the Philippines is ethnic Chinese and they control 95% of the Philippine economy. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@TheFlagUnit Philippines actually accepted very little of China's substandard infrastructure. Most of the projects in the Philippines are funded by Japan and South Korea. Toinks! 😂😂
