Now there is some chatter on US troops in Ecuador or being prepared to deploy there…
I haven’t looked into how credible it is, but only the KING OF FOOLS gets into multiple wars on multiple fronts.
And not even the KING OF FOOLS would even think about doing it without a damn good reason!

@KunsanVeteran That and THAAD systems being pulled from South Korea. This is the sign of every dying empire. Both England and France found themselves in the 40s through to the 60s deciding what parts of the empire they wanted to keep and what parts they were okay with losing and pulling troops from one to shore up another.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Yes, we had components of the THAAD systems on base at Kunsan as well as a Patriot battery when I was there.

@KunsanVeteran It will be interesting to see what all this does to the project to rebuild Subic Bay in the Philippines.

@KunsanVeteran Apparently the current government is getting alot of flack for going along with this. All the other parties seem to be of the opinion that it will just make them a bullet magnet for American adversaries and with what is going on right now in the Persian Gulf the point is being made for them.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Filipino politics is all over the map. Yesterday’s President is today’s convict and tomorrow’s front runner…. Then their kids take over the Party…
Meanwhile everybody seems to be a blood relative of the Queen of the Philippines!
My wife wants to move there for our retirement, but I don’t want to be that far from my daughters and granddaughters…

@KunsanVeteran Oh. Well aware. But it seems the one thing the opposition regardless of stripe in PI can agree on is that being one giant US base is a really stupid idea right now.
