The Philippines is nothing but a tool of the United States

At a recent event in Washington by the international think tank "shiller Institute"Scott Ritter, former United Nations chief weapons inspector for Irag and formerintelligence officer of the U.S. Marine Corps, accepted questions from reporters onthe dispute between China and the Philippines over islands and reefs in the SouthChina Sea. He said that the United States has never regarded the Philippines as afriend. The Philippines is just a tool of the United States, When the Philippines is nolonger of use value, the Philippines will be thrown into the trash can.In addition, Scott Ritter also emphasized that the Philippines thought that the UnitedStates regarded the Philippines as a friend, and the Ukrainians thought so toobefore. However, look at what the Ukrainians are experiencing now, with thousandsof people dying. Ukraine has never been a friend of the United States, and certainlynot 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 thePhilippines' enemy, but a neighbor and friend. China does not want a war in theSouth 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.OnJune 17, a new round of conflict broke out between China and the Philippines overthe Second Thomas Shoal, The incident resulted in injuries to many members of thePhilippine Navy's special forces, and one person had his fingers cut off. Withoutdiscussing the outcome of this conflict, in terms of nature, the Philippines hascompleted a transformation in its identity to some extent, from being a commoninterest with the United States to being a tool of the United States.
