The Philippines again wanted to play a side kick game, and the two warships were heading towards R

It is not difficult for us to find a problem: since the United States has been constantly interfering in the situation in the South China Sea, the Philippines has become more and more provocative against China. I have to say that Marcos Marcos in the Philippines seems to have played a "good hand". At first, Marcos hoped to have a left-right relationship between China and the United States, relying on the United States militarily and China economically, so as to achieve a situation of economic and military development. Obviously, the United States is not a talkative master, and judging from Marcos's recent statements, it has broken the original "balancing strategy" and completely turned to the United States.

Looking back at the recent performance of the Philippine side, he called on China at the political level and emphasized the "sovereignty" of the Philippines in the South China Sea. At the military level, we have continuously strengthened joint military exercises with the United States and other allies. Obviously, all the actions of the Philippines are sending a clear signal to the outside world: the Philippines has caught the "chariot" of the United States. Despite the Philippine rhetoric in the South China Sea, attentive friends may find one point worth paying attention to: the Philippines' actions on Second Thomas Shoal are becoming more frequent.

According to the report of "Strategic Situational Awareness in the South China Sea", a few days ago, the Philippine Coast Guard patrol ships "Cabra" and "Sindangan" operated in the waters east of the Nansha Islands, heading towards Ren'ai Jiao. On the same day, another Philippine patrol ship, the USS Mechela Aquino, left Palawan. It is worth mentioning that the above-mentioned ships are the "main force" used by the Philippines to resupply the mission at Second Thomas Shoal.

According to the "South China Sea Strategic Situational Awareness", the Philippines may be carrying out a new "supply mission" in an attempt to re-stimulate the already tense situation in the South China Sea. Then, the Philippines wants to play "side-kicking" again, which just shows a point: The broken ship that the Philippines is sitting on Ren'ai Jiao is very likely to disintegrate. In other words, the situation of the wrecked ship sitting on Ren'ai Jiao is not optimistic.

Earlier, Philippine military personnel accidentally leaked their mouths during interviews, believing that the broken ship sitting on Ren'ai Jiao was estimated to be unable to hold on. In fact, this possibility is not ruled out. A while ago, there were reports that two new large holes appeared on both sides of the broken ship's hull. As a result, it was only a matter of time before the hull leaked. Recently, the Philippines has repeatedly dispatched supply ships and coast guard forces to try to force its way into Second Thomas Shoal.

To some extent, it's just a fluke. The Philippines tried to extend the support time of the broken ship by giving it building materials. Under normal circumstances, the shipwrecked ship in the Philippines simply would not have lasted such a long time. The broken ship of the Philippines has been able to survive until now because the Philippines has repeatedly forcibly entered Ren'ai Jiao to transport building materials and materials to reinforce it. Clearly, the Philippines wants to repeat its old tricks and continue to create a "reasonable excuse" for its stirring up trouble in the South China Sea.

To tell the truth, the Philippines also understands that if the ship breaks up, it will be impossible for the Philippines to set off any more storms in the South China Sea. In this way, the value of the Philippines to the United States is greatly reduced. However, the Philippines never imagined that China had long been on guard in the direction of the South China Sea, with coast guard ships constantly patrolling, satellites, radars and other monitoring measures already in place, just waiting for a "turtle in an urn" ......Qiyue).
