- I had to cut out a chunk due to size: WAR WARNING TO U.S. EXPATS IN TAIWAN & PHILIPPINES
DURATION: JUNE 5, 2024 TO NOVEMBER 5, 2024
This shared assessment is based upon historical precedents, recent events, and 43+ years of service in the U.S. Military, Department of Defense, and AF Institute for National Security Studies (INSS). Based upon this assessment, I recommend that Expats make plans during the Warning’s stated duration in the event that: (1) Air and Maritime transportation is suddenly stopped, (2) Banks may be closed without notice to prevent a run on the banks, (3) It may be difficult to attain cash, even if you can electronically transfer funds from foreign banks to Philippine banks. Philippine banks may not be open, and ATM machines may not work. I recommend holding a large supply of cash in the event of any conflict for your Rent and Food. Any Chinese blockade or invasion of Taiwan would be catastrophic, and any blockade of the Philippines would be equally disastrous.
Overall indicators of Increasing the Probability for a Pending Global & Regional War:
- China and Russia seeing political instability and weakness in the United States for refusing to aid Ukraine for nearly a half-year, causing great Ukrainian losses, and the arrest, trial, and conviction of a Former American President and main Opposition Political Candidate for President of the United States in 2024. - Japan is undergoing its largest Military Buildup since World War II, and reinforcing its Southwest Defenses in preparation for War.
- On May 22nd, Britian’s Deputy Prime Minister asked all citizens to stockpile at least 3 days of food, water, radios, personal documents, and emergency supplies in case of a National Crises (War).
- President Putin announced to the world in March 2024 that Russia is ready for Nuclear War. He really thinks he can survive it.
- China has already taken actions to prepare their total population for War including the stocking of huge amounts of food, supplies, and defense materials. China has the largest standing army in the world, and the Chinese Navy is larger than the U.S. Navy in the number of warships. U.S ships have many more naval missiles and weapons on board. However, that may or may not make a difference to Chinese plans.
- The Philippines is also increasing its military preparedness, purchasing additional weapon systems, building military alliances, and sharing military bases with the U.S. The Chinese military keeps pressing the Philippines trying to start a conflict.
- Russia, China, and North Korea are conducting military exercises together in the region.
- NATO is dramatically increasing its military preparedness. Poland is undergoing its largest defense buildup since World War II, and arming itself to the teeth. Other NATO and non-NATO nations are also increasing their militaries.
- NATO has performed its biggest coordinated mass parachute jump since World War II. This is to show NATO’s flexibility to deploy large numbers of troops to NATO countries if quickly if attacked by Russia.
- The United States has a large amount of military personnel and equipment along the borders of NATO countries, and sending a huge amount of Aid to Ukraine.
THIS IS ONLY A WARNING of a possible pending conflict -- not a guarantee. It is a matter of probabilities and historical precedents. I’m not taking the gamble, but preparing and stockpiling cash.

Bottom line to your comments and more, It is always good to prepare, the reality of the war situation for china to have a chance of taking taiwan has to happen before 2025 is over and this is still weighted heavily in Taiwan favor. There are only 3 countries in the world that can pull off a successful amphibious invasion and china is not on that list. But on to good news, the base buildup means there will be more benefits for veterans in the Philippines. IT also means that the peso dollar rate will grow more favorable for us as well. So how will this affect my retirement plans to the Philippines? My wife and I will be going over in a year to 18 months. She wants to return to her hometown and after following me around for 30 years I think it is time as well. the big takeaway I keep telling people half for what you see on the social media is deceptive news and needs to be taken with a grain of salt. To learn more about deceptive social media look at Ryan mcbeth to understand how that works.
@@paperburn China has not been preparing for a major amphibious invasion of Taiwan, but a mass air (paratroopers) and helicopter invasion of Taiwan. Helicopters are their chief transport of choice for troops bypassing the beaches and heading toward the interior. Doctrinal modernization change allows the PLAAF Airborne Corps to act as the principal force employed for pre-emptive attack on the enemy's key military and government targets in order to paralyze or disrupt Taiwan's preparation for a counterattack. Since most Taiwan defensive positions are around the coast, they will focus on the weaker center of Taiwan and work their way to the coast taking government buildings (Presidential Building, President's Residence, etc.) and military and police installations in the process. The Chinese Air Force will work to achieve air domination that is required to support their troops on the ground by throwing a blockade around the Island. Naval assets will target coastal defenses as the Army drives out from the interior of the country. There may be some minor amphibious operations ongoing at the same time to link with interior units. This is the guess of some who have been monitoring Chinese War Exercises and attack scenarios. However, how good is their equipment and well trained is their Army? If not, the entire offensive can collapse.

SPOT ON Steve! Keep speaking your truth brother. Whether you know it or not, you are providing a valuable service to all of us here in the US because the news you get is slightly different than the news we get AND you are right there in the Phills! Keep doing YOU brother! Ignore the haters, you SHINE!
It's true. Living in the Philippines a person learns and has a different perspective of events.

@@JohnH9876 what are you referring to?
I hope and pray that people will respond to you in a civilized manner. Keep up the good work.
Most American men who come to live in the Philippines for permanent residence are there to stay, come hell or high water. However, it's best that they integrate into Philippine society as soon as possible to have a chance of survival.
China's consistent behavior around the WPS/SCS indicates a more confident outlook that they can continue in this manner without any negative consequence for them.
Let us pray that there will be no war in the Philippines with China. Let us also pray that the countries who said they will help the Philippines if China will be too aggressive towards the Philippines.
Amen 🙏
Great video. Thanks for expressing your opinion.
Thanks for watching!
I appreciate you covering this topic the way you do without pushing too much of your own opinion.
Now time for my opinion: My assessment - taken from others - is that leading up to internal US destabilization nearing the election with all of these military aged men crossing the southern US border and destruction of rule of law we will see a unified and same time conventional kick off across 4 theaters (North Korea on south Korea, Middle East, China moving on Taiwan, And Russia finally calling the red line on nato) depending on how that goes I can see desperation on either side leading to Nuke exchange. I give it a high chance but it's not inevitable. And I wouldn't let it stop me from enjoying my life with travel. Imagine not traveling and having the world end all of suddden!
I'd rather die in a happy place.
Hi Steve, well, I guess you better get ready to be called back to service. Thank you for sharing.
This good Steve, so it will help drive down the overpriced Condos to make it affordable.
Lol
That is interesting. Do you know the author of the email (Dr. J. Avery)? I can see China going for Taiwan - but I think it's unlikely they would attack or do anything to the Philippine mainland. In this life, anything is possible though. ☮
The Chinese Sailors were telling the Filipino Sailors basically to leave China…… No Joke
Dr. Avery can be Googled and is fairly well known.
Hi Steve, search Taiwan Sovereignty history, not quite so clear cut.
I worry that between forgetting what happens when a nuclear weapon is used, and the arrogance of thinking that the West is superior , that we will stumble into a conflict with Russia or China.
Having supplied B-52 alert pads, having visited the test site in NV, and had possession of over 1k individual weapons during my stint with Uncle, it gives me a different perspective. One BUFF had more TNT equivalent power than was used by all sides in WW2. Between 7 and 13 Mega Tons. 14 to 26 billion pounds of TNT. Up to 6 alert aircraft would pack a serious punch.
Those nincompoops are playing with fire. Literally.
Hiroshima would be the trigger for todays weapons. Fission begets fusion. The atomization, the 4th degree burns, the whole body degloving, the poisoning, and the slow death that comes with use. The rule is X number of people die instantly and 1/2 X die within 30 days.
Just take it easy, Russias and Chinas weapons don´t work, they are more dangerous to them selfs. Missiles is filled with water and Money stolen. Ukraine is a big lesson on how bad Russian and Chinese weapons are, they have to resort to WW2 style meatwave attacks with thousands of deads to take a village. LOL . USA will Know before anything happens and bad guy will be destroyed before the blink. Would be very stupid for china to use nuclear weapons, then there Invasion fleet will dissapear in a mushroom cloud, how will you invade then ?. There is a good reason that, Eisenhower? said D-day would be the Last big Invasion fleet, because its such an inviting target for a Nuclear weapon.
Great info thanks Steve!!!!
If the shtf, I'll stay here. What kind of man runs out on his family in fear. All we can do is prepare the best we can. If China is allowed to take Taiwan, then they'll probably come after the Philippines. Until then I'll keep an eye on the news.
you may want to stay but will they want you with no money
I'm with ya😊 I'm not going anywhere 😊 we will be kung foo fighting
@timothymartin664 some of us don't have money, but they still love us,
I love you no shit😅😂
@buzz5969 I love you more my friend ❤️
Not a bad idea to have 90 days of food just in case. That would probably cost you 1000.00 dollars.
The animosity between China and the Philippines has been going on since time immemorial. Being a world power in business and commerce, China knows any untoward military action in the West Phil Sea will adversely affect its economy. The prospect of triggering a military war by China is a dance they have used for the last 40 years - it’s an old story. Expats like you who have been in the Phil’s less than 30 years should get used to this situation. It’s nothing new - part of China’s propaganda to intimidate those whom they can . It’s NOT gonna happen. They could have annihilated the Phil’s a long time ago if they wanted to. Would they dare start a war and lose their global dominance as a trading partner? China is the biggest exporter to the US, Europe and Central America. Would China want to sacrifice being sanctioned by these countries and lose their huge markets? I don’t think so. They’re not that stupid.
The World is Changing, and so is China.
I was in the Navy in 1985-1988!I would love it if our veterans our age could help serve in there arm forces if shit hit the fan!What do you think?
Scary times !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last time I didn't make it to the Philippines because of 9/11 now this 🤔
They knew about it. They just don't admit it.
I trigger my mom all the time LOL!!!
If China moves on Taiwan they will fortify the Taiwan area and not overextend themselves into the Philippines for fearing to lose what has always has been their main objective-Taiwan.
It's doesn't matter where you live the blast will probably be better than the fallout. WWW3 is coming ! Or rather it's already here.
i never heard so much misinformation as here . i do understand you're just reading
It takes a lot of money and organisation to maintain a military force on stand by for operations, Chinas huge Army on its mainland can't be moved that easily and maintained for very long. I've come to realise that Chinas aircraft flyovers threatening Taiwan are intended to provoke defensive fire which would justify a Chinese assault. Theres some complexities in the whole scenario, will the rest of Asia (Thailand, Malaysia; Indonesia etc) stand by waiting to be picked off if things escalate ? Whats the real operational effectiveness of those Chinese units ready for deployment ? Can China sustain its major combat assets (Ships, Aircraft; AFV's etc) in the event of a long escalating conflict ? Irrelevant of the CCP's propaganda and rhetoric do the Chinese people in general have the will to fight a War off-shore away from their own country ?
Shown by who?

If China invades Taiwan, the PRC might get a nasty surprise just like the Ruski who thought that they could take Kyiv in 3 days.
joe wasn't trying to sit down, he was doing a #2 in his pants is what was being reported
As I recall, donald is the the one shitting his pants.
Reports from his trial, Trump did nothing but shit his pants and fart all the time. Even his lawyer could not stand it
Both side have deceptive information, paid for by our enemies to promote derision and hate. sadly no news company comes to mind that is not being influenced and biased. The AP is generally reliable but even they have a bias. Everything you get on social media is crap and should not be believed. (pun intended) stay frosty
It's all about Trump here in the States. And Pride month.
Don't fall for the fake videos.
Look at the videos in the comments. Posted on main stream news everywhere
I'm voting for Trump. Taxes are way too high.
Better to die on your feet than live on your knees!
I’ve got my blinders on. I’m not thinking about this at all. There is always someone prepping for WWIII.
China wanted to steal the oil and gas reserves in the Philippines. These are estimated at 26 TRILLIONS. The Philippines holds the largest DEUTERIUM gas deposits in the world. That's why Chinese vessels are also lurking in the EASTERN waters of the Philippines. Philippines needs to drill their oil and gas reserves asap.
When China was poor, it wasn't claiming any island that is too far from it but so near to Southeast Asian countries and Taiwan. Crazy. It was a poor, well-behaved country in the old days. MONEY IS POWER and it is in a bad way with China. It is a member of UNCLOS, but it doesn't respect its decision favoring the Philippines, saying that China has no legal basis on its claims. Without the US as Philippines' and Taiwan's allies, the two countries would have been damaged already. It doesn't care what the world says. Awful. Many Filipinos, however, aren't afraid to die. But it's not worth it. The big question: Is the US ready for its signed treaty with the Philippines as a war ally?
What good is drilling if you cannot even refine the raw material to useful fuels?
Im personally not concerned at all.
You shouldn't be you are perfectly safe. Don't worry about war it won't happen to you. There is no crime in my neighborhood.
Agree. China attack the PI.....they may as well attack Hawaii because the U.S. response would be the same. No war, just sabre rattling.
Philippines is apart of the alliance. South Korea, Japan, Philippines, U.S., Taiwan, and Australia align the Pacific Theatre... An attack on Taiwan would bring a strong military presence in Philippines most certainly from the rest (dunno if Trump will engage though if elected)...AND, if Ukraine falls, China will most likely make a move if Europe/U.S. has no objective. I'd argue expats should have a contingency plan...
Theres also the rest of Asia to be factored in, Thailand, Malaysia; Indonesia; India etc arent going to stand by if the worst happens, and China knows it.
Your the 1st one of the PI blogs that mentioned the China issue a while back. And i spoke to it.
I could see this coming quite a while ago, before. I couldn't speak about it on any of the blogs because I'd shunned for it. For some reason blogs don't want to talk about this. Its a serious issue. Its ok to be scared of it but burying one's head in the sand is questionable to say the least.
So now it's here. If the present bloggers don't want to blog about I'd say we need a new blogger to setup to discuss it, at least off & on. Just bc u move to PI you shouldn't turn into a prissy. Just my thoughts on it!
I'm in Texas at the moment trying to money up to return to my wife there in IMUS CAVITE. . Just a blockade alone could cause much harm to us living there off of retirement money each month .it wouldn't be a bad idea to have pots for purifying water and containers to hold extra water and to stock up on some rice and canned goods.. we may be eating a lot of rice and bananas for a while
If it kicks off, nowhere will be safe. China has serious economic issues, Russia is crumbling, India has issues, most of Europe. Global inflation and major shift in tech and the end of the lower tech working class jobs as well due to AI and automation. I spent 21 years in the military between the USMC and USCG. I will gladly defend PH from aggressors, just as I would the US and any other allies. Life is short, prepare the best you can, it is always smart to have food/water and cash on hand for emergencies. 3 months is a good number. As far as Ukraine, I have zero faith in any reports coming out. Europe is the bigger powder keg right now to me.
“Russia is crumbling “ 😂😂😂 Who told you that , cnn ? or fox ?
Russian economy grew 7% . Preparing is good but please don’t believe any western news , the worst fake propaganda. Russian are strong and if you read the word history the never lose any war . We are lucky Russia didn’t start any nuclear war yet after what west and usa been doing by delivering military equipment and weapons which is against the law or contract they signed in 1990 when USSR split.
all this could stop if usa and zionist don’t mess with Russia!!
Russia is super strong, smart and fear no one .
I'm a Filipina, legally immigrated to the U.S. as a young girl. It took me almost 10 years going thru the process back in Pinas and cost my family tens of thousands of dollars. I was interviewed 5 times by the U.S. Embassy starting at the age of 9 and constantly tested me, orally of my knowledge of The United States Constitution, American history, Bill of Rights, the 3 branches of the U.S. govt, American civics and current events at the time. Passed ALL of it.
By the time I was given permission to step foot on American soil, my family was broke but that's okay. We were given the opportunity to be in one of the best countries in the world at the time.... or so we thought.
The American govt has been running amok for several hundred years. The Founding Fathers gave Americans a blue print of how to "govern" the people who were "elected" back when there was still election. Unlike today when it's a "selection."
I'm a staunch Constitutionalist and an extreme Conservative. I'm beyond republican because they're the same side of the coin as the democrats.
The Founding Fathers fought and died, many came out of the war with nothing including family members and only for Americans who were born free give away their liberties so freely.
I will never understand that. And I'm not apologizing for my belief and neither should you. I may disagree with you, but it's your God given right as well as mine to have our beliefs.
But one thing I discovered shortly after my arrival is that Americans were and still are giving their liberties away.
There's hardly any American liberty left.
I will not run away if there is a war; I will fight with my Filipino brothers. Even though I am not as strong as I was when I was a young soldier in battle, I still have skills and know how to train and plan strategically, tactically, and operationally. Other American and Australian combat soldiers living here will do the same, and I am sure they will be joined by more expats of other countries like us. We were all brought here by war, where we learned about this paradise, its wonderful people, and its culture. We liked our R&R time here after our tours in Vietnam and elsewhere. That is why we came back here to retire. We will not let anyone take this country nor harm its people. During WWII, my dad fought here. He told me that his Filipino friends were always there for him when they fought.
Um,what you gonna fight with? Sticks and rocks.Not realistic.if the S**t really hits the fan you best get out .If you can.A live dog is better than a dead lion.No matter what country he's in.Free wisdom for you

I tend to focus on probabilities of outcomes, and prepare accordingly. Being prepared for events or disruptions is always responsible anywhere. Philippines is no exception IMO.
I remember when Communist China started building a new bridge to Hong Kong for " the security of Hong Kong " ...after the bridge was built the Chicoms invaded and took over.
I'm a regular viewer and I really appreciate your going out on a limb and stating your thoughts and opinions. Very level headed in an age of so much extremism and toxicity. Consider doing more like this! Thanks!
I appreciate that!
Yes, I share your sentiments. In today’s world, the understanding and awareness of geopolitical events is not only responsible, but could be lifesaving for you and family members.
I appreciated the video.
Not going to happen. I hope.
We recently had a president that regularly lied as if it were normal behavior. The process went something like this. The lie is introduced/suggested. Next the lie is repeated over and over until there is great comfort with it among the masses. This is followed by learning to love the lie as reality. Finally the majority believes the lie to be fact or alternative truth. Inaccurate and false statements and lies may lead nations to eventually wage war between them because of what they believe as truth and not by what they should know as truth.
Sounds like a reasonable assessment…. Regional and global instability should be a concern to all… hope for the best…have a plan if things go bad….
Poppycock!!!! Stick to rentals, and monthly dinners at The Texas Roadhouse
That's an excellent retirement plan...

Quick question - not an expat yet but looking to make the move in the middle of 2025. Is this a good (safe) time to move to the Philippines?
Yes
The world will do what the world will do. You and I can do nothing about it. Find your peace and live your life. Any of us could die at any point. Perhaps pack a bag, stock up the pantry, and be happy. Over thinking will paralyze you. Chances are nothing will happen.

Everything in the article is factually true and it is the basis for some concern. But having a larger geopolitical picture is worth another 1000 words. Basically, China has a border dispute with its rival, population-wise, India and the 2 sides actually exchanged shots last month in the Kashmir region, which has been in dispute since 1962. If China gets too ambitious in the south China sea and starts a war, they risk driving India, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia and every other southeast Asian country into the arms of the Americans, and losing access to trade, which is the only thing that has kept them afloat the past 3 or 4 decades. China has spent a lot of time and effort to become a super power and wouldn't give that up so cheaply. So yes, be concerned but don't panic.
I like your front line information, keep us informed of the real information from the source
thats right Veterans....were mobilizing! report and muster @0530 in front of KOKOMO...good times are over!
Please share you sources of information about him crapping his pants, not being able to finish his term. I saw one video clip of him looking like he was lost at D-Day ceremonies. Then I saw the whole clip and it turns out he turned away to give a thumbs up to a special forces who parachuted and landed behind him. The first edited clip from FOX news makes him look lost, the full clip shows the opposite.
Our country has never been more divided thanks to both parties and their TOXIC ways. Sadly, it is not looking good.
Just reopen the U.S. bases in the PI. That would solve a lot problems and provide some stability in the region.
I'm more concerned about a Lockdown from the H5N2 or something. Hoping I can get moved to the Philippines 🇵🇭 BEFORE another Lockdown.
Thats funny, the lockdown was more severe in the PI. but I hope you get to the PI as it is a wonderful place, But do not bring your politics with you as a word of advice. They are only interested in local politics and do not respond well to US politics. either side.
Make no mistake; if China wanted to make a (serious) move, The Philippines would be in their sights. There is a reason the U.S. has tried to keep good relationship with Filipinos and why it remained there for a long time. The Philippines is located in a key strategic location.
This is why China is interested in it as well (as well as their expansionist goals).
The Philippines is one of the places China has been trying to infiltrate for a while now. They've planted themselves around the globe and spies and agents have been discovered in various governments and businesses - including in the U.S..
They've also been buying a ton of land around military bases and nuclear sites in the U.S. - and only recently it's been noticed.
The Major powers of the globe have been setting up the board.
We have the situation in Ukraine with Russia, China and Taiwan, the Israel/Iran situations and China has also been making moves around India.
The board is being set.
I worry for my friends in the Philippines (I have many - ex pats and locals in the Cavite area). If things reach the breaking point, I assure you the Phillipines will be one of the targets of major conflict.
Funny is : you looking what china buys or not or what their doing but in other hand USA have more then 900 military bases all over the world with nuclear weapons ( how many china have ? ) . THE PROBLEM IS NOT CHINA OR RUSSIA, THE PROBLEM OF ALL THIS CRAP IS USA AND NATO .
CHINA NEVER START ANY WARS.
True Facts. I hope To be home soon to the Philippines. Retire in 2026. But if it gets to that point I can come home sooner. Be back march 2025. Keep your powder dry.
Don’t worry about the hate mail. The more comments good or bad the more money RUclips pays you. There are people making a living from RUclips just by stirring up people to get tons of hate mail.
I believe what the BIBLE says. In the last days what you see happening around the world is what was prophesied and told us the signs. Asia is a major flashpoint of troubles and will conclude with the middle east in Israel. Looks like PH and U.S. should have kept Subic Bay alive and strong.
There is a lot of turmoil in the world all we can do is hope for the best and be prepared for the worst.
It's all in the Bible but most seem to ignore the Bible. Too sad!

Steve, here is my take on this issue. It all comes down to economics. We are by far the largest driver of China's economy due to our consumption of their exports and they don't want to bite the hand that feeds them. China may be egotistical but they are nobody's fool.
Sit down, no he sh^t his pants 😂

I arrive in Cebu on Thursday to start my new life. Bringing my 2 dogs with me than hopping a ferry to Dumaguete. The political climate here is getting worse. I am heartbroken that we are so divided, it is not the country I remember. While there is so much good in being connected all the time it is also poisoning our young kids. Inflation is out of control here, my rent is $600 more than my SS, going up another $300 in June. I have to work full time just to pay the bills and eat.Nothing left over. Most of the retired people in my apartment complex, are working and living alone. I have spent the last 6 months researching the Philippines, it won't be perfect but it seems to offer more of what I want at this stage of life, and maybe I will meet a nice woman to share my life with. China is not going to stop me.

Hi Steve. I'm glad the article mentioned that Taiwan was part of Japan until the end of WW II. In fact Formosa (Taiwan) and some other islands were lost by China as long ago as 1895 when China and Japan got into a war over Korea. Then after Japan surrendered in 1945 Chiang kai Shek who had fought Mao and the Japanese during WW II was losing to the Communists rebels on the mainland, and needed a place for his government. Chiang and his troops (I heard 10,000) went into exile on Taiwan. Taiwan has never been part of mainland China since 1895. Propaganda aside it's not a renegade province either. Japan officially gave up Taiwan in 1952 and by then the Nationalists and Chiang had established control of Taiwan.
Yes the war clouds are on the horizon and China keeps saying they want peaceful relations whenever there is any communications, but then do such things as fire water cannons at Philippine ships and try to ram them in the Philippine's EEZ almost a thousand miles from the closest Chinese land.
I agree with you but whatever china want or Not , doesn’t give US right to store nuclear weapons in Filipines. If usa does anything stupid , china will respond the same way and here we all go down.
I think if usa mind his own business and let asian countries take care their own problems I am sure will be peace.
Where usa is present IS ALWAYS WARS AND DEATHS.
Counting the number of ships is deceiving. They have a high hull count, but there is a huge disparity in size, quality, and mission capability. Plus, people tend to forget the 800# gorilla named the US Air Force.
I have followed and subscribed to your channel for a long time now. I have always found you to be a voice of reason when you speak your words are well thought out. I think this is a good video. Politically you and I are very close. I am registered independent but lean more Republican. I like you will vote for the person I think is best for that position regardless of the party. People need to be informed and aware what is going on in the world and how it may impact them. Failure to plan is a plan to fail again a very good video. I hope you’re doing well and are in good health.
You're reading too much right wing propaganda Steve.
I’m seeing it right on the Philippines News everywhere
It wasn't liberals holding up aid to Ukraine...@@MrSteven5975

Thanks, Steve, for discussing this
I believe the General that was on 60 minutes….”We got this….” (“Just let China try anything )”!!!!!!!
I'm more concerned with the madman in North Korea and the megalomaniac in Russia with nuclear weapons than China. I don't see China rushing into something that could destroy them.

It doesn't help that Foreigners can't own firearms! I'm too old to use bungies. 😲👀🙈
I'm sure it will be overlooked if a foreigner picked up a weapon to fight for the Philippines. It happened in another country when a foreigner took out a terrorist.
I did enjoy it.
Politics Are Now Very Important; as we can tell by what's happening in our Nation, an invasion, and damage from with in presently put.
You should not believe to much that you are reading. Most of it is propaganda. Remember maybe 50% of what you are reading might be accurate and that is a big maybe.
That is true. China pays people to post opinions on you tube and other media venues
and you get paid by american?
The problem is China definitely wants Taiwan and the Philippines will be America's base of operations for the conflict. There is a very real danger China will shut the Philippines down via online attacks and naval/air blockades to slow US response time and effectiveness.
I admire your guts to talk about this issue with China and I have the same political views as you being a moderate and there is good and bad with both parties ... YES, I do think this will develooe into WW3 . .. I live far north of the Philippines in Kalinga Luzon only 200 miles from Taiwan ...😅😮😅
Bottom line to your comments and more, It is always good to prepare, the reality of the war situation for china to have a chance of taking taiwan has to happen before 2025 is over and this is still weighted heavily in Taiwan favor. There are only 3 countries in the world that can pull off a successful amphibious invasion and china is not on that list. But on to good news, the base buildup means there will be more benefits for veterans in the Philippines. IT also means that the peso dollar rate will grow more favorable for us as well. So how will this affect my retirement plans to the Philippines? My wife and I will be going over in a year to 18 months. She wants to return to her hometown and after following me around for 30 years I think it is time as well. the big takeaway I keep telling people half for what you see on the social media is deceptive news and needs to be taken with a grain of salt. To learn more about deceptive social media look at Ryan mcbeth to understand how that works.
who is the other 2 ? I agree its very hard to pull off a amphibious invasion, especialy in Taiwan (USA had plans to do so in WW2 but gave it up), China has never tried to do so, and never in that scale. Its hard to combine all (Sea,Land,Air) in real time. Taiwan has a strong Airforce, Airdefence and dug in all over the Island. Taiwan also has a lot of Anti-ship missiles, so they can sink the Invasion fleet when they start invasion. not many will survive that.
@@mabuhayproductionltd3627 australia and strangely enough France remember after launch they must be able to sustain it. so that rules out turkey and italy and korea and a few others. getting a group on shore is one thing but sustaining them is another.
@@paperburn I never saw or think That France and Australia could or would that. But its correct that you need to have a great mass to be able to take losses and continue to sustain it.
Unfortunately, humanity just loves war, war, war!
Governments and corporations do - the people don't!

Only he knows.
Him, Jill, Macron, the Secret Service, the people he waddled past during his disgraceful retreat from the ceremony, and every person on the planet that has ever seen a toddler take a poop I mean.
Yup emergency diaper change for sure. The real question is does Sleepy Joe wear Depends or MegaMax ?
Both side have deceptive information, paid for by our enemies to promote derision and hate. sadly no news company comes to mind that is not being influenced and bias. Everything you get on social media is crap and should not be believed. (pun intended) stay frosty
Clutch your Pearls Boys!
War Games are exactly that… Games!
We should give the Philippine government submarines to deliver supplies to the Spratly islands.
What type of submarine would you recommend?
@@KennyInSubic Gotland-class
Submarines can't handle the shallow water, how about Ospreys instead.
Ships with helicopters could easily provide whatever they need
@@surfboy344 Lots of delivery drones then.
How dare you read facts!!!!! ;
I know right !!! Lol
Thanks for talking about this. I'm about to move to the Philippines but honestly I'm having second thoughts. I'm confused as to what to do. Would appreciate any up dates and ideas of what would happen if there is a travel band. Thanks for your time. Really enjoy your channel.
My family and I are planning on moving to the Philippines in 2026. I worry this potential war will stop us and that my family who are there now would be in terrible danger. I feel the same as you. I am just so glad that he posted this video to enlighten us with what is happening there in the Philippines.
