Hey. Philippine's number one trading partner is China. In a way, they devalued their peso to give them a trading edge. I would start decoupling there too and to build a strong Navy. China is a waning power. And the only way to stay relavant is to acquire territory of some kind.
China is not a seafaring nation, they live on land, they started to be able to sail in the 5th century, before that they only sailed on rivers and coastlines. while the austronesians sailed thousands of years ago, and now the chinese claim the sea on the basis of their ancestors
@@xiaodisun-lf5ym Cheng Ho sailed in 1350, that was his greatest voyage, but before Christ Austronesian people had sailed to the ocean, can you think how it was possible for Hawaii, New Zealand, Palau and Madagascar to be inhabited by Austronesians, even though the islands were far from human civilization... I know that history can be accepted if it is recorded and written, but can you imagine for yourself that the island mentioned earlier was inhabited by Austronesian people thousands of years ago. Of course they sailed until they found the island.
Taiwan also claims the South China Sea... It was the Republic of China (ROC) who started it, that was copied by the China Communist Party... If Taiwan would be in power, we can't even claim WPS because Taiwan is backed by the US. And to the USA, Taiwan is much more valuable than the Philippines.
It's not that we're claiming a part of SCS. It's that the EEZ which is part of our seas and is a right of every nation according to UNCLOS which China also signed. China just wants all of that sea even if its thousand miles away from their nearest land territory. They reclaimed and made a man made island just to extend their land territory.

Terrible that Yuan I would try to justify PRC claims to Philippine maritime territory by citing treaties that were made when the Philippines was under colonization.
The Phil. lays its historical claim on the Scarborough Shoal based on the Murillo-Velarde map of 1734 which is the oldest historical map proving the territories recognized by the outgoing Spanish empire which colonized the Philippines before it formally ceded these territories to the US under both the Treaty of Paris of 1898 and Treaty of Washington of 1900. The US recognized these territories to include Scarborough Shoal (known as Panacot island) as belonging to the Philippines under both complementing treaties. All of the Chinese historical maps presented at the UNCLOS of the same period consistently show the island of Hainan as the southernmost boundary of China’s territory.
The International Law is very clear, Islands within 200 Nm from the baseline belong to the Philippines, none of these Islands are inside the 200 Nm from Chinas baselines.
Lol you must be living under the rock. Trump is the one who started the trade war with China. He's pretty much the reason why US is shifting back it's focus in the Far East.
Thats only in your mind. Trump is anti China. He wants a trade war with China. He sees China as a competitor to US. Many US businesses outsource to China thats why many businesses closed in the US. He said he would put high tariffs on all chinese goods. He appointed cabinet members that are all hawkish toward China. The South China Sea is a MAJOR ROUTE for trade so Trump wont let it fall into the hands of Chinese. Trump also wants a STRONG MILITARY. Philippines is the oldest US ally in Asia. So China, braze yourselves, he will be your worst nightmare.
China is trespassing the boundary of the Philippines. So what will united nation will take action for this. Will Philippines defend their boundary or are they still begging to take some help from other countries? Its similar like the boundary of America and Mexico.
The 1900 Treaty of Washington revised the 1898 Treaty of Paris and further clarified that Spain relinquished all claims in the Philippine archipelago that were not originally mentioned in the 1898 treaty and this includes the Scarborough Shoal.
China wants the area simply because of the stocks of oil,,,but never in mind of Filipinos every single inch to surrender the area will not be taken by force or threatening claimant's,,what will be the outcome a war,,,, Japan, Philippines, US,are tested and capable and ready in times of war
Not really, the oil value is too little considering China's GDP, plus China is on track of green energy and with cheap oil supplied by Iran. I would say it's more of 1. a geopolitical strategy to fense out US proxy countries. 2. historical claims, the SCS was claimed by TW government when it ruled China, they draw and promote a map with the SCS inside claiming the territory, so basically it's some shit that TW left to the communist China to solve.
I'm watching this as a person who lived in many large countries and including some time in Asia. Lets get into it, When a person understand global economics and power, they will understand the issue. Every great nation have some type of sinful past. China is rich in Asian History and the Philippine's is rich in history and have been taken advantage of by the larger forces of neighboring power. Why is there such a challenge to have Taiwan return back under China rule? Why does the wonderful nation of China want to claim Scarborough Shoal and the Sabina Shoal in the Spratly Islands. This i, an area that is within the Philippines’ 200-nautical-mile (about 370 kilometres) Exclusive Economic Zone but, where claims sovereignty. Its healthy for a small country like the Philippines ask America, Australia and France for assistance. The Phillipines don't have the financial resources or military equipment to defend against the attitudes of Beijing who ignore the ruling of United Nations tribunal. China Continued to reclaim and militarise reefs and submerged shoals in the waterway to advance their military and economics. Honestly, Malaysia, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, France, and the USA may consider establishing a joint task force directly on Scarborough Shoal. It's disturbing when older men take advantage of small countries. This stretch of disputed area may even be a good midway Airport or fishing port. Most un-educated Filipinos don't have an idea of how to move forward. Love, God and peace is the key. However, no one is respecting a poor fisherman from the Phillipines. Not to mention, there are natural resources there... Hopefully, all countries can align and arrive at a peaceful resolution. May God bless you and remember, life is a gift and quick. Be Smart!

@@simba9889 The United States makes no territorial claim in the SCS and takes no position on sovereignty over any of the geographic features in the SCS. What's there to defend?
Why are Chinese aggressive in SCS? - Lets understand the context before jumping into conclusion. Also remember that it's Taiwan (ROC) and not China (PRC) that drew the '9 dash line' in SCS. Okay, now why China behave the way they behave in SCS? - The simple Answer is:- Its because of AMERICA. China is surrounded by US from all corner in the SCS and Pacific with more than 100 US military bases and 50,000+ active duty military personnel deployed (purposely aimed at China). China like most countries in Asia had been humiliated and colonized by western powers like Portuguese, French, British, and America not long ago. They have just risen up from ash yesterday and earned some dignity back through economic development. The scars and pain of the Chinese suffered in the hands of western power is still felt deeply to this day (as they should), and the Chinese don't want to repeat and experience that pain and humiliation again. However, to their nightmare, the biggest western power/enemy (USA) is still chocking them right at their backyard with hundreds of military bases ready to crippled their economy at anytime by blocking the sea routes and trade routes. Therefore, China is still very much threatened by the US aggressive posture in it's own backyard. Also, US is increasingly becoming hostile to China and it is doing all it can to contain China from becoming prosperous. Hence, the biggest fear of Chinese is here again, in its own backyard. China therefore felt the need to secure their own security in SCS where most the their trade and commerce with the rest of the world are carried out. If USA along with its vassals is Asia block the sea route, it's game over for China and their economic growth story. That's why China is desperately trying to secure their own route free of US control. And in doing so, the SCS has become a disputed area as a lot of other countries are sharing their EEZ in the same ocean (SCS). So, the question is: - Is China's claim in SCS right? - NO. - Is China's concerns and the threat of USA legitimate - ABSOLUTELY. That's why USA is not the solution but the problem in SCS issue and in Asia as a whole. They are not protecting anyone from China's aggression, instead they are making China more aggressive in the region. This is a typical playbook of US foreign interference; First they will bring instability to the region and then they will present themselves as the solution to get involve in the issue for their own vested interest. We in Asia should be very careful of the real fox who is trying to destabilized the whole region for its own interest. Geopolitics is a tricky but interesting affairs.
ROC or PRC is the same. They want to own something that doesn't belong to them. Whatever happened in the past, there's nothing we can do. it's time to move on. And have respect to our neighboring countries
CCP windbag, you ignore the international rule of law, re-the 2016 UCLOS ruling. CCP lost the ruling, so now they are trying to keep annexing other nations territory. International water ways and access to them is a global right that can’t be restricted. International EEZ are established law. PRC are led by pirates, and criminals.
@@markromero2738 "Respect the neighboring countries..." ABSOLUTELY! China should respect the neighboring countries 100%. BUT provided that the neighboring countries are also not hosting any US military bases or other US facilities that are aimed directly at China. Can the neighboring countries do that?? That's the big question! - especially for vassal states like Philippines, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan! If the SCS issue is to be resolved, first and foremost, USA have to be kick out from the region, otherwise no solution can take place. Secondly, both China and all the competing countries in South China Sea disputes have to give in and give up something in agreement and make room for compromises, otherwise there can't be any solution if either side are not willing to give up anything or tries to win it all.
BBM's inheritance/fortune remains in America, which demands Philippines to be it's proxy against China. BBM has to choose between his fortune and his countries' wellbeing. What do you think? Remember that his parents fled to America with their fortune, without any care for the Pinnoys !
As much as I dislike America, letting the aggressive Chinese have their own way is also not a bright idea. Now had you Chinese folks strive to peacefully coexist with your neighbors, we won't be in this situation in the first place.
The general is a little brave to drills in that area.. as we know china's coastguard is always sorounded Pag-asa island like a guard 😅..the next problem is china's retaliation.. would china stays in ramming ships etchtera or use thier guns

Ukraine challenged and started the war against Russia due to its own ego arrogance and the provocations and assurance backing support from NAto and US.
Ukraine foolishly gave up their nuclear weapons without security guarantees. So when they started to develop strong economic relationships with the EU and to have stronger democratic foundations, their less successful neighbors, Russia, became aggressive and started by annexing Crimea in 2014, and creating an armed insurrection in the Donbas and Luhansk provinces. 2022 they did a full military invasion into other areas. Russia wants to retake the old Soviet aligned nations,9 which now were so successful in the EU community, while Russias economy was less vibrant and anti democratic. United States had nothing to do with this situation until Russia invaded and started destroying cites in 2022. They have not sent their military, or any NATO military into the Ukraine to help them, just old weapons.

菲律宾用宪法规定主权，真是可笑。在强大的中国面前，你用什么来维护你的宪法呢？只能是丢人。

For your information, Taiwan also claims the south china sea. Which is also against what is being claimed by the Philippines.
Just to piss off Winnie the Pooh……Taiwan is an independent country. Free China from Commies
You guys should have invited Jay Batongbacal or former Justice Antonio Carpio
Watching from Philippine island
As Filipino, this is exactly why I want Philippines should not base its actions on other countries. Should always do what's best for you.
Never give up your sovereignty Philippines. Fight for your rights
It's not that we're claiming a part of SCS. It's that the EEZ which is part of our seas and is a right of every nation according to UNCLOS which China also signed. China just wants all of that sea even if its thousand miles away from their nearest land territory.
They reclaimed and made a man made island just to extend their land territory.
Coz they are crocodile. This china claims even its too far fro. Thier place.
@Billieeili545 spratlies and Paracels groups of islands belongs to china. How can that be far???
NO ONE NO ONE ABOVE THE LAW REPUBLIC ACT.OF THE PHILIPPINES UNDER PBBM MARCOS JR. ADMINISTRATION ### ✌
No one above the law but the US above the ICC for protect the Netanyahu anyway.
Go Philippines mabuhay...
Philippines will NEVER back down!
The ethnic Chinese makes up only 3% of the Filipino demographics but controled most of the private wealth of the country, 8 out of the top 10 richest Filipino families are ethnic Chinese families. The same can be observed in other Southeast Asian countries. Singapore, with a Chinese majority demographic, is the richest country in Southeast Asia.
They are not CCP
Stay strong 💪
Terrible that Yuan I would try to justify PRC claims to Philippine maritime territory by citing treaties that were made when the Philippines was under colonization.
It means we need to fight our own battles
Thank u france .law is law ..china respect it if you want to be respected.
The Phil. lays its historical claim on the Scarborough Shoal based on the Murillo-Velarde map of 1734 which is the oldest historical map proving the territories recognized by the outgoing Spanish empire which colonized the Philippines before it formally ceded these territories to the US under both the Treaty of Paris of 1898 and Treaty of Washington of 1900. The US recognized these territories to include Scarborough Shoal (known as Panacot island) as belonging to the Philippines under both complementing treaties. All of the Chinese historical maps presented at the UNCLOS of the same period consistently show the island of Hainan as the southernmost boundary of China’s territory.
WATCHING from Philippines.
The International Law is very clear, Islands within 200 Nm from the baseline belong to the Philippines, none of these Islands are inside the 200 Nm from Chinas baselines.
Philippines has both historical and legal rights.We are the People of the Sea.Those territorial waters is basically parts of our homes.Not just yard.
President marcos jr is good at talking and promising.
What a puppet for the US government 😅😅😅
This will happen , DT is a pure business man.
DT : TW for sa1es..

DT : PH for sales..
XI : Price ?
Lol you must be living under the rock. Trump is the one who started the trade war with China. He's pretty much the reason why US is shifting back it's focus in the Far East.
Thats only in your mind. Trump is anti China. He wants a trade war with China. He sees China as a competitor to US. Many US businesses outsource to China thats why many businesses closed in the US. He said he would put high tariffs on all chinese goods. He appointed cabinet members that are all hawkish toward China. The South China Sea is a MAJOR ROUTE for trade so Trump wont let it fall into the hands of Chinese. Trump also wants a STRONG MILITARY. Philippines is the oldest US ally in Asia. So China, braze yourselves, he will be your worst nightmare.
Stay strong against tofu panda 🐼😷
Philippines
Historically, the South China Sea belonged to the Republic of China.
Invalid!! How about the historic rights of the Filipinos as Astronesian people?
200 notical miles from Phil. So its near so why China Claim far away from them obviosly what is that then?
Bien claro ese el Scarborough shoal de Filipinas este adentro se na ecz .
Philippine government 😂😂😂😂😂
China is trespassing the boundary of the Philippines. So what will united nation will take action for this. Will Philippines defend their boundary or are they still begging to take some help from other countries? Its similar like the boundary of America and Mexico.
你们弄的那个什么国际法庭，联合国根本就没承认过。中国都不屑参与，因为没有任何实质的用处，也无任何法律效用，全世界都知道。你们还很搞笑的拿那些说事。真的是幼稚。中国是联合国五常之一。你是不是不明白什么叫五常的概念和权利及意义。
菲律宾也只是作为中美博弈中美国的一个工具而已。而现在特朗普上台了，他会问，凭什么美国军人要去保卫你菲律宾。美国向韩国提出100亿美金的保护费，请问菲律宾给得起吗？那菲律宾凭什么要美国大老远的来保护你？难道菲律宾认为可以直接和中国全面开战有任何胜算吗？可笑。幼稚。
❤❤❤❤
The 1900 Treaty of Washington revised the 1898 Treaty of Paris and further clarified that Spain relinquished all claims in the Philippine archipelago that were not originally mentioned in the 1898 treaty and this includes the Scarborough Shoal.
The way Philippines to deal with Beijing is to firmly stand with Taiwan, Japan and America to resist the authoritarian aggressor.
Historic claim of china .is not legal..Philippines has legal rights .china.know your place ..you know what u can get there hydrocarbon reserves..
China wants the area simply because of the stocks of oil,,,but never in mind of Filipinos every single inch to surrender the area will not be taken by force or threatening claimant's,,what will be the outcome a war,,,, Japan, Philippines, US,are tested and capable and ready in times of war
Not really, the oil value is too little considering China's GDP, plus China is on track of green energy and with cheap oil supplied by Iran. I would say it's more of 1. a geopolitical strategy to fense out US proxy countries. 2. historical claims, the SCS was claimed by TW government when it ruled China, they draw and promote a map with the SCS inside claiming the territory, so basically it's some shit that TW left to the communist China to solve.
The newsreader has a better British accent than me-and I'm British!!
Taiwan hypocritcy, isnt you stole the island from China ?
I'm watching this as a person who lived in many large countries and including some time in Asia. Lets get into it, When a person understand global economics and power, they will understand the issue. Every great nation have some type of sinful past. China is rich in Asian History and the Philippine's is rich in history and have been taken advantage of by the larger forces of neighboring power. Why is there such a challenge to have Taiwan return back under China rule? Why does the wonderful nation of China want to claim Scarborough Shoal and the Sabina Shoal in the Spratly Islands. This i, an area that is within the Philippines’ 200-nautical-mile (about 370 kilometres) Exclusive Economic Zone but, where claims sovereignty. Its healthy for a small country like the Philippines ask America, Australia and France for assistance. The Phillipines don't have the financial resources or military equipment to defend against the attitudes of Beijing who ignore the ruling of United Nations tribunal. China Continued to reclaim and militarise reefs and submerged shoals in the waterway to advance their military and economics. Honestly, Malaysia, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, France, and the USA may consider establishing a joint task force directly on Scarborough Shoal. It's disturbing when older men take advantage of small countries. This stretch of disputed area may even be a good midway Airport or fishing port. Most un-educated Filipinos don't have an idea of how to move forward. Love, God and peace is the key. However, no one is respecting a poor fisherman from the Phillipines. Not to mention, there are natural resources there... Hopefully, all countries can align and arrive at a peaceful resolution. May God bless you and remember, life is a gift and quick. Be Smart!
Many confidential docs are already available to public. That's how we know that US has all along acknowledged that the SCS islands are Chinese.
From official documents, we came to know that the US has acknowledged that the SCS islands are Chinese.
@@liarliar3412US as ally will never cede those islands to his archenemy in the Region, America would be foolish to do that. So its another CCP lies you read.
@@liarliar3412Besides, US should be the defender of UN law, peace & order. Philippines just won West PH Sea to UNCLOS UN Arbitration Court fair & square, US as UN member State will be obligated to comply to the Ruling that is binding.
@@simba9889 The United States makes no territorial claim in the SCS and takes no position on sovereignty over any of the geographic features in the SCS. What's there to defend?
so many CCP trolls in the comment section 😂
whenever a title includes China expect wumaos 😂
Yes thats true there are a lot of paid trolls about scs issue youll see same accounts
@@axizcorpfrom SCS close to Bintulu oil field
Why are Chinese aggressive in SCS? - Lets understand the context before jumping into conclusion. Also remember that it's Taiwan (ROC) and not China (PRC) that drew the '9 dash line' in SCS.
Okay, now why China behave the way they behave in SCS? - The simple Answer is:- Its because of AMERICA.
China is surrounded by US from all corner in the SCS and Pacific with more than 100 US military bases and 50,000+ active duty military personnel deployed (purposely aimed at China). China like most countries in Asia had been humiliated and colonized by western powers like Portuguese, French, British, and America not long ago. They have just risen up from ash yesterday and earned some dignity back through economic development. The scars and pain of the Chinese suffered in the hands of western power is still felt deeply to this day (as they should), and the Chinese don't want to repeat and experience that pain and humiliation again. However, to their nightmare, the biggest western power/enemy (USA) is still chocking them right at their backyard with hundreds of military bases ready to crippled their economy at anytime by blocking the sea routes and trade routes. Therefore, China is still very much threatened by the US aggressive posture in it's own backyard. Also, US is increasingly becoming hostile to China and it is doing all it can to contain China from becoming prosperous. Hence, the biggest fear of Chinese is here again, in its own backyard. China therefore felt the need to secure their own security in SCS where most the their trade and commerce with the rest of the world are carried out. If USA along with its vassals is Asia block the sea route, it's game over for China and their economic growth story. That's why China is desperately trying to secure their own route free of US control. And in doing so, the SCS has become a disputed area as a lot of other countries are sharing their EEZ in the same ocean (SCS).
So, the question is:
- Is China's claim in SCS right? - NO.
- Is China's concerns and the threat of USA legitimate - ABSOLUTELY.
That's why USA is not the solution but the problem in SCS issue and in Asia as a whole. They are not protecting anyone from China's aggression, instead they are making China more aggressive in the region. This is a typical playbook of US foreign interference; First they will bring instability to the region and then they will present themselves as the solution to get involve in the issue for their own vested interest. We in Asia should be very careful of the real fox who is trying to destabilized the whole region for its own interest.
Geopolitics is a tricky but interesting affairs.
ROC or PRC is the same. They want to own something that doesn't belong to them.
Whatever happened in the past, there's nothing we can do.
it's time to move on. And have respect to our neighboring countries
CCP windbag, you ignore the international rule of law, re-the 2016 UCLOS ruling. CCP lost the ruling, so now they are trying to keep annexing other nations territory. International water ways and access to them is a global right that can’t be restricted. International EEZ are established law. PRC are led by pirates, and criminals.
@@markromero2738 "Respect the neighboring countries..." ABSOLUTELY! China should respect the neighboring countries 100%. BUT provided that the neighboring countries are also not hosting any US military bases or other US facilities that are aimed directly at China. Can the neighboring countries do that?? That's the big question! - especially for vassal states like Philippines, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan!
If the SCS issue is to be resolved, first and foremost, USA have to be kick out from the region, otherwise no solution can take place. Secondly, both China and all the competing countries in South China Sea disputes have to give in and give up something in agreement and make room for compromises, otherwise there can't be any solution if either side are not willing to give up anything or tries to win it all.
Your explanation well said.
West Taiwan should just cede to Taiwan.
Taiwan+Philippines🧡
Taiwan is belongs to China.
Well, it is Obvious in what is happening in West Philippine Sea.
opting to become a war nation has doomed ph to perpetual poverty.
Opting to fight for its sovereignty against greedy China.
🇵🇭👍💪
China must respect the sovereignty of her neighbors. ASEAN will fight her aggression.
BBM's inheritance/fortune remains in America, which demands Philippines to be it's proxy against China. BBM has to choose between his fortune and his countries' wellbeing. What do you think? Remember that his parents fled to America with their fortune, without any care for the Pinnoys !
As much as I dislike America, letting the aggressive Chinese have their own way is also not a bright idea. Now had you Chinese folks strive to peacefully coexist with your neighbors, we won't be in this situation in the first place.
US bases wouldn't be back in PH if China just controlled their Greed
The general is a little brave to drills in that area.. as we know china's coastguard is always sorounded Pag-asa island like a guard 😅..the next problem is china's retaliation.. would china stays in ramming ships etchtera or use thier guns
I bet china will run fast bsck into their own country...philippines is quietly getting much morethan everyone think what we are right now...
If our claim is not approved by international tribunal then long before we have ceded maybe.
Excuses are easy to make but hard to sell, Teodoro.
Us Phil's..unchangeable ties even continuously even after every Pres.election.cannot change it
If historical claims are valid, then a significant portion of Asia, Europe, and Africa would still be considered part of the Roman Empire due to its historical influence. Europe then should be under UK as one country.
China wants all islands and everything.why?..they owned the moon,stars and pluto so why they still wants our territory..😂😂😂
In the citations of said professors, they are misleading. Please cite more indepth information, and recent information to have better conclusion. Here is the link for a lecture about Philippines position on west philippine sea: th-cam.com/video/2GWcgKNMxjo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AsaY8RzHwMD04_X3 .

Same Philippines Can Get Out From Malaysia Maritime Zone
our goverment here still hasnt buildup for our military assets here.... this really frustrates me as a filipino living here in my country.
our politicians here are too busy with their own agenda
But they have? I'm not currently in the Philippines but I still occasionally receive news regarding the Philippines acquiring new naval ships and rebuilding their shipmaking industry
We have 2 kinds of people we have here on earth! Good and evil!
why don't just count the total number of islands in the philippines? And if there's 1 missing island, definitely is the scarborough shoal 😅
Scrapped 1 china policy soon!
Philippines should cede all Islands BACK to the US. Mismanagement, wastefulness, corruption. Bases would make the world safer and become the biggest trading state of the union. Filipinos like me would finally have better passport and better taxes
Pizza faces Egal eating the fresh without bread left behind
legal fare. China is lost... the backing claim was hollow
Philippines and all neighbor countries need to work together to keep the wanna be dragon in its cave.
If China 🇨🇳 Invades Taiwan 🇹🇼 Philippines 🇵🇭 have no other choice but to help 🇹🇼Taiwan & USA 🇺🇸 Allies because of the Mutual Defense Treaty with USA 🇺🇸May Gods bless us Mabuhay ✌🏼🙏🏽❤️
Not much. China will probably back off and be less aggressive.
why doesn't China try to take Hawaii? hahah
The Phil has been a country for a very, very long time and the US will always back our allies.
They are coward to U.S, They only bully small Country,But even Phil small .Let Us see ,we have many friends not like China smaller friends because of too much greedy.
Canada Australia and Japan Us helping Philippines .will if china did not respect so be it
Why dont they just follow the united nation decission for infact china is also a member so as this battle will be closed
Envoke MDT
I dont see demographics anymore, its all about ideology🙁
I am from PH, Philippines should not have challenged PRC territorial dispute, now too late...a sea of poverty dotted the whole country 😅😅
typical wumao narrative😝 keep grinding maybe you would convince someone😝
You're saying, "You're not from the Philippines without saying it." Vibe well done. No Filipino citizen will ever say what you're saying since Filipinos in nature are very patriotic.

And so? They are the true paid Treaty of Paris m Spanish in given and independence forever America is our friends ok.F u wanted to be frens too to U.S. u behav😮e well ok.
Ukraine challenged and started the war against Russia due to its own ego arrogance and the provocations and assurance backing support from NAto and US.
ukraine stands firm from invader... just simple it is... That script that they always put US behind is already poinless lol
"Ukraine Started" 😂😂😂
Your no geopolitics expert nor a law student even 😂 what you have is a mere opinion, and a stupid one.
Ukraine foolishly gave up their nuclear weapons without security guarantees. So when they started to develop strong economic relationships with the EU and to have stronger democratic foundations, their less successful neighbors, Russia, became aggressive and started by annexing Crimea in 2014, and creating an armed insurrection in the Donbas and Luhansk provinces. 2022 they did a full military invasion into other areas. Russia wants to retake the old Soviet aligned nations,9 which now were so successful in the EU community, while Russias economy was less vibrant and anti democratic. United States had nothing to do with this situation until Russia invaded and started destroying cites in 2022. They have not sent their military, or any NATO military into the Ukraine to help them, just old weapons.
