The Phillipines. When Will The West Learn?

[doctordb]

Typical Americans. The slightest hint of a humanitarian crisis and they can't wait to get stuck in and 'save some ass'. Who elected them the world's 'ambulance service?' Did we get a vote?

What a surprise, willing lapdog, the UK is only to glad to wag it's tail along with the other western cronies.

Let's face it, this is about oil. the only reason they are sending planes, aircraft carriers and troops is to prop up their arms industry. Did they think we would be fooled into not seeing the significance of the phillipines strategic proximity to china?

What about an exit strategy? has anyone given that any thought? At this rate we could be re-building infrastructure, schools and hospitals for years to come, all at the expense of western taxpayers.

When are we in the west going to start listening to the likes of george galloway and stop meddling in the internal affairs of other countries?
When are we going to stop getting involved? Bloody Americans and their western allies!

Svejk, you have it in one.

I shall have to use bricks rather than a velvet glove in future. :)

How did some people get past that?

I must admit when I first read it I didn'f see it as ironic or sarcastic. Maybe that only comes with longstanding knowledge of the OP. many just dip in and out of the site so dont have that knowledge

For the avoidance of doubt, I'd like to point out that I was being ironic about Kromovaracun's name. Having the stupidest name on the site,myself,of course.
Shame about Hawksley. I used to find his posts hilarious. ;)

Please can we have a bit more decorum and a little less abuse.

and a little more satire

I thought mine was quite satirical
