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

Habebe rank	Tue Sep 08 18:03:09 2020 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 rank	Tue Sep 08 18:23:39 2020 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 rank	Tue Sep 08 18:26:30 2020 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 rank	Tue Sep 08 20:09:30 2020 Did they really request it or did the US threaten them with sanctions if they didn’t comply?
habebe rank	Tue Sep 08 20:26:50 2020 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 rank	Tue Sep 08 20:31:36 2020 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 rank	Tue Sep 08 20:37:55 2020 Taiwan's support of the US is forced to? How about Australia? Japan? SK?
The Children rank	Tue Sep 08 20:40:06 2020 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 rank	Tue Sep 08 22:41:12 2020 Palau was an American trust between 1945 and 1992, yet you highlight ties to Taiwan?
habebe rank	Tue Sep 08 23:06:06 2020 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 rank	Tue Sep 08 23:09:11 2020 lol protected? u mean colony?
Dakyron rank	Tue Sep 08 23:39:24 2020 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 rank	Wed Sep 09 00:00:36 2020 Dakyron, I think the US wants as much presence in the SC sea area as possible.
The Children rank	Wed Sep 09 00:02:27 2020 why? ur country aint broke enough already? u cant even build some trains. u get sick, theres a 1mill hospital bill waitin 4 u.
