Duterte's son warns: Trump provokes China and Iran, U.S. troops in the Philippines will drag us down

Another Middle East conflict arises, and the Philippines also comes out to show its presence.

Duterte's eldest son Paul said that the U.S.-Iran conflict is spilling over, plus the potential risk of confrontation between the Philippines and China in the South China Sea, the Philippines may be dragged into the conflict by the U.S. military presence.

Paul is not saying that because the Philippines has U.S. troops, it will become a target of Iranian attacks. His point is that the Philippine government should not allow unrestricted access for U.S. forces, otherwise one day the Philippines will become a battlefield.

Philippine congressman Guan Song also sarcastically said that if Iranian missiles come, they are not like Gulf countries with anti-missile systems, and they will be reduced to ruins.

As soon as he finished speaking, Philippine Navy Rear Admiral Trinidad immediately came out to rebut, saying that the farthest range of Iranian missiles is only 2,000 kilometers, while the distance from the Philippines to Iran is 7,500 kilometers, so it can't reach the Philippines. Moreover, Iran has no allies in the South China Sea.

Guan Song responded that she originally just wanted to mock the Macri administration, but没想到 someone took it seriously, explained in detail why the Philippines would not be attacked by Iran, which was truly foolish.

Facts have proven that stupidity is the hallmark of this Philippine government. From civil servants to officers, everyone is eager to bind themselves to the U.S. war machine and show loyalty to Trump.

But as Paul and Guan Song said, the Philippines should worry about is not Iran, but the countries within the South China Sea, such as China. If the Macri administration continues to provoke China under the protection of the U.S. military, it will inevitably be beaten up.

After all, the U.S. military bases in the Philippines do not have anti-missile systems, and China's missiles have much longer ranges than Iran's. Now that the U.S. bases in the Middle East have been bombed to pieces, the Philippines should think carefully.
