Viet and Phillipines are stupid. With the US spread thin in Libya, Afghan and Iraq, along with the huge domestic issues with their coffer, they think US will 'really' back them up? Sounds like barking up the wrong tree. Besides, Viet and Phillipines is not worth it for the US to deteriorate relationship with China. So it's gonna be all show no go from the US as usual.
China's not gonna start a war with them or anything, but I don't see why they need to feel any threatened. |
