The US government has warned Solomon Islands it will “respond accordingly” if its security agreement with China leads to a Chinese military presence in the Pacific island nation.
Does the USA own Solomon Islands? It is just a reality that powerful nations try to exert influence over other states, whether you like it or not. We can discuss how good or bad that is but it certainly not only Russia that thinks it has some say in what other countries can or can not do.
- mcphage 3y agoI’m pretty sure we all (or most of us) agree that the US bossing around the Solomon Islands is a bad thing, right? But since we don’t own Solomon Islands, they can go right ahead and do it anyway. And think we’re also all of us in agreement that it would not give the US license to invade. This all seems really obvious and not requiring any debate. Am I wrong about that? Do you feel a US invasion would be justified at that point?
