Senior officials of the Philippine military have repeatedly stated that if a conflict breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, the Philippine military will definitely join the operation! The reason why the Philippines keeps shouting about joining the Taiwan Strait conflict is none other than to respond to the call of the United States and to gain better external benefits. After the Philippines made this statement, the Japanese immediately sent six soon-to-be-retired destroyers to the Philippine Navy at a low price.

However, when it comes to the Philippine military power, upon careful examination, the largest warships are only 3000 tons, and the best aircraft are South Korea's FA50, not even the American F16 fighter jets. As for the army, it's even worse. The strength of the Philippine Army is basically useless because the Taiwan Strait conflict would not involve ground warfare but rather a confrontation between warships, aircraft, and long-range missiles.

The Philippines keeps provoking because it has the support of Western countries. But in reality, if the Philippines were to go to war, they would certainly not dare to, at most just making mouth noises. This is a fact.

The repeated provocative statements from the Philippines are actually an attempt to cover up the very poor economic development of the country. They can no longer pretend any longer. The Philippines always wants to show off, so let them express themselves freely. When the time comes to settle accounts, it won't be so easy to talk their way out.

In fact, the Philippines says these things simply because they believe there is something to gain and want to take more advantage. However, what they say now will eventually come back to haunt them, because regardless of anything, the Philippines is provoking, and will face the consequences. Remember, a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late.

The Philippines' arrogance will surely lead to retaliation, especially since the Philippines has such weak strength but is so arrogant, which will make it a target for targeted strikes. Every word the Philippines speaks will eventually manifest on the Philippines, and we'll just have to wait and see.
