Scott Ritter, a former platoon commander assigned in Subic said, "The United States cannot fight and engage China and win. We will not beat the Chinese. We cannot beat the Chinese and we know this and yet we're using the Philippines to create the conditions of potential conflict with the Chinese. This is a recipe for disaster."
"You think America is your friend? So too did the Ukranian people and they are dying by the hundreds of thousands. Friends don't let friends die in those quantities. The Ukranians have been displaced by the tens of millions. Friends don't let their friends have their cities destroyed in this manner. Friends don't let their friends have families separated have mothers and children destined to a life of refugee status and perpetual poverty. That's not how friends behave. America has never been the friend of the Ukranians and we are not the friends of the Filipinos. We don't like you. If we did like you, we wouldn't be doing this to you. We are using you. You are a tool nothing but a tool. And when the tool ceases to be useful, we will discard you. And discard you means usually after a war that devastates you.
We are using you to gain some sort of momentary leverage over the Chinese. We will fail. The Chinese will win and you will be destroyed. End of story. It's high time the Filipino pressure their government to start sitting down and engaging the Chinese government responsibly. China is not your enemy. China is your neighbor. China is your friend. China doesn't want war. And if you would engage China in diplomacy and as we've all indicated here, America has long since lost the skill set necessary to carry out diplomacy but the Filipinos, the Philippine people can reignite this to relearn it to use this skill to prevent a war. But if you continue to behave as colonial subjects of America. Filipinos are still colonial subjects of America. We don't like you. We don't care
about you.
We just want to use you. Grow up. Act responsibly. Take control of
your own future. America is not here to help you. America is only here to use you until there is nothing left and then we will discard you on the trash heap of history."
"To our Pres. Marcos Jr., Wake up. Grow up!!! Do not forget your oath to protect our country and countrymen. Set aside your personal agendas and start loving the Filipino people! We don't want the Philippines to be the next Ukraine. The ball is in your hands now. What will you do? Just remember we are legions. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us. We can be your best allies, but we can also be your worst nightmare!!!"
