Philippines is thawing a bit
Fuck 'em. We had a big air base and a big naval base in the Philippines, and they kicked us out.
But, as Henry Kissinger frequently reminded us, we don't have friends or allies, we have "interests". And I'll grant you, right now it is very much in the US's "interest" to have an expanded presence in the area.
