..last batch..

This conflict in the Philippines is receiving very little media coverage in the US. The US media is more interested in how that can downgrade Pres. Trump rather than reporting the news.

The Vietnamese news that I read criticizes that the Philippines' armies are very weak that the whole nation's army can't deal with a few hundred militia. They are weaker compared with Thai army and even Cambodian army! I doubt that.

Looking at this photo, I start to agree that the Philippines's military is in a really bad situation. This aircraft is of Vietnam war era. The don't even have a meaningful fighter. The Philippines is a close ally of the US for half a century, how come their military equipment are so bad or they simply rely on the US to protect them?

That aircraft is dropping a dump bomb, they'd easily hit civilian.
