Utopia Talk / Politics / SE Asia requests US bases to counter Chi

Habebe Member	Tue Sep 08 11:03:09 http://www...ses-in-the-pacific-11599557401 Palau has requested the US build bases in the country closely aligned with Taiwan due to Chinese aggression. The link has a cool map of US bases/presence in the area.
CrownRoyal Member	Tue Sep 08 11:23:39 Fuck yeah, I can’t wait until Donald demands to quadruple the payments, for the new suckers, for American protection, as he merrily did with Japan and South Korea. These fuckers have been calling themselves American allies, but in reality they are, along with other so called nato allies, just leeches. http://www...protection-racket-south-korea/
The Children Member	Tue Sep 08 11:26:30 lmao wtf is palau? dude, r u desperate or what. and oh yea what do they need another base for, dunt u hillbillies have 800 bases already. is skorea kickin u out that u need palau now? lmao
Paramount Member	Tue Sep 08 13:09:30 Did they really request it or did the US threaten them with sanctions if they didn’t comply?
habebe Member	Tue Sep 08 13:26:50 Paramount, That just doesnt make sense. Proximity to China and small size means they could just side with China if they chose. However what's more telling is there closeness to Taiwan. Like it or not China has increasingly been the aggressor and flexing on its neighbors. If you happen to be one of these neighbors common sense says you would welcome US support. Plus a us military base comes with economic benefits.
The Children Member	Tue Sep 08 13:31:36 lmao usa invaded and colonized all those pacific islands. a small island like that wuldnt have much of a choice if the giant us warfleet sails close by. what choice do they have, say no. they get destroyed back 2 da stone age. ur nation is a bully, hababy. dunt even pretend that its volunteered. lmao.
habebe Member	Tue Sep 08 13:37:55 Taiwan's support of the US is forced to? How about Australia? Japan? SK?
The Children Member	Tue Sep 08 13:40:06 ofc it is. lmao this idiot. does hiroshima and nagasaki ring a bell...like wtf are u even on about. ur completely delusional by now.
jergul large member	Tue Sep 08 15:41:12 Palau was an American trust between 1945 and 1992, yet you highlight ties to Taiwan?
habebe Member	Tue Sep 08 16:06:06 Jergul, Palau has basically been protectes under US military since the end of WWII AFAIK they have nevwr asked us to build bases there. It helps they use the Dollar and such but there closest ally is probably Taiwan
The Children Member	Tue Sep 08 16:09:11 lol protected? u mean colony?
Dakyron Member	Tue Sep 08 16:39:24 US has territories in the N Mariana Islands, Guam, and Samoa. All close by. We don't need another base just to make Palau feel safe.
Habebe Member	Tue Sep 08 17:00:36 Dakyron, I think the US wants as much presence in the SC sea area as possible.
The Children Member	Tue Sep 08 17:02:27 why? ur country aint broke enough already? u cant even build some trains. u get sick, theres a 1mill hospital bill waitin 4 u.
