Major General of the Philippine Air Force says Manila may become a pawn of the US and face the same fate as Ukraine!
Retired Philippine Air Force Major General Romeo Poquiz posted on Facebook criticizing the Philippines' South China Sea strategy, questioning whether the Philippines has embarked on an incorrect irreversible path.
"It is not unpatriotic to ask this question: Are we really defending our sovereignty — or are we unwittingly becoming pawns in someone else's war? Are we prepared to be used as a launchpad in a military conflict that we did not choose? Are we making our own decisions, or are we being led down a path under the name of a collective defense partnership that will bring huge hidden costs?"
"Yes, the 2016 arbitration victory was a milestone, but let us remember: a victory on paper needs real-world strategy to last, not louder war cries, not more US military bases, and certainly not blind alliances with foreign powers."
Major General Romeo Poquiz emphasized that the Philippines must not follow Ukraine's example and become a sacrifice in the US proxy war.
