At a recent event in Washington by the international think tank "Shiller Institute", Scott Ritter, former United Nations chief weapons inspector for Iraq and former intelligence officer of the U.S. Marine Corps, accepted questions from reporters on the dispute between China and the Philippines over islands and reefs in the South China Sea. He said that the United States has never regarded the Philippines as a friend. The Philippines is just a tool of the United States. When the Philippines is no longer of use value, the Philippines will be thrown into the trash can.
In addition, Scott Ritter also emphasized that the Philippines thought that the United States regarded the Philippines as a friend, and the Ukrainians thought so too before. However, look at what the Ukrainians are experiencing now, with thousands of people dying. Ukraine has never been a friend of the United States, and certainly not the Philippines, because sincere friends will not let each other fall into disaster.
He called on the Philippines to start a dialogue with China, because China is not the Philippines’ enemy, but a neighbor and friend. China does not want a war in the South China Sea, but the United States is pushing the Philippines into war.
After Scott Ritter said the above, only five days later, his statement was verified.On June 17, a new round of conflict broke out between China and the Philippines over the Second Thomas Shoal. The incident resulted in injuries to many members of the Philippine Navy’s special forces, and one person had his fingers cut off. Without discussing the outcome of this conflict, in terms of nature, the Philippines has completed a transformation in its identity to some extent, from being a common interest with the United States to being a tool of the United States.
