#1 Shade of what could happen vee China + PLA in Northern Luzon, PH agz any incoming US intervention forces coming from WESTPAC + CENTPAC iff war breaks out in the South China Sea.

Or even the East China Sea [China-vs-Japan, Taiwan] agz US Milfors.

It behooves China + PLA NOT to wait until intervening US Milfors arrive in-theater.

* IIRC GLOBALNATION.PH > CARPIO: CHINA IS BUILDING A "TRIANGLE OF BASES" IN SOUTH CHINA SEA, PHILIPPINES AT RISK OF [SCS] CUTOFF [once China's island reclamations are fully completed.

* SAME, BIGNEWSNETWORK > US TO RESPOND "WITHIN HOURS" IFF PHILIPPPINE SOVEREIGNTY THREATENED.

What the good USMC Commander says is all well-n-nice, but unfortunately he is NOT the POTUS or even VPOTUS.

It is Anti-US US OWG Globalist POTUS Obama as CIC + #1 on the US National Command Authority that will give the USMC + USDOD their marching orders to the SCS + ECS + IOR.

#9 Also on Friday, the Yemeni military foiled attempts by US-Saudi aggression warships to approach the Yemeni shores in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait area under heavy hostile aerial bombardment and shelling.

The Yemeni army and Popular Committees units stationed in the Strait clashed with the attacking forces by appropriate weapons and forced them to retreat.

A source from the Yemeni military said the army and the Committees are deployed at fixed points in the Straits and its environs, and that the fire will be on the lookout for any new aggressive attempts toward the Bab al-Mandab.

"Aggressors will be a heavy price," he said.

Earlier on Thursday, a military source said that at least 55 troops of the Saudi-led coalition were killed or maimed in the Yemeni army's operations in the province of Marib.
