Being low on the ASPI and Global Firepower Index ranking have never stopped the Philippines from murdering Vietnamese and Taiwanese fishermen in the 2010s. That didn't stop the PH from unleashing their Sulu pirates onto Malaysian Sabah territories in 2013. Back in the 2010s, the Philippines truly did had amongst the weakest military in ASEAN. They had 0 jet fighter aircraft, 0 modern surface combatants, and 0 AshMs. Now they do, and their numbers are still growing. While the Malaysian military have stagnated and aged over the last decade.

The PH don't need to go very far to project their power. They just want forcefully claim the area that they call the "West Philippines Sea" in the SCS. Plus the PH have islands that are less than 100km from the nearest Malaysian coast. The PH media is regularly hyping up their claims over the SCS and Malaysian Sabah. They have the geography, and the history. They think they have the US alliance to deal with China, and the now improved military to deal with others. So its not too far fetched in the future for them to conduct further belligerent actions in the SCS and SEA.

Answer: They assume they'll always have AMERICAN military to back them up based on their defense treaty that's it. Without that, they would not be acting high and mighty but it goes to show you how demented some of those people are. I know, I lived with them.

US strategy tends to go like this:
1) US President meets foreign leaders and wheels and deals and makes promises to get what he and his team wants
2) With those promises, the US President will say he'll try to convince ppl in Congress, this is so as to make him the Good Cop to Congress' Bad Cop. In ancient times, emissaries claimed they had to win over the war party or other factions in court, or this Prince or that Prince didn't like it. This example is infamously displayed

.
3) Once Deep State USG gets what it wants, trade concessions etc, they'll get bad cop Congress to publicly shoot down the good cop President's proposals and concessions to the foreign nation.
4) Rinse and Repeat.

Current USG is attempting to apply this strategy to get China to fund USG and save them from GFC Mk II by sending Yellen and Raimondo, and begging for a meeting with Blinken and Biden. But to no avail. Their whole entire strategy of getting China to agree to 'guardrails' is so they can keep pulling the double face game, remember that these are the people who pioneered Grayzone warfare.

Funny how the CIA apologists and spin doctors are trying to claim the dalai lama wasn't trying to mouth rape a child. That's like trying to compare Biden kissing kids to how the french do La Bise.

Translation: "President Xi is brilliant, super smart, unlike our current dumb US President. Only I am smart enough to take on China, slap tariffs, ban China tech, kill China virus"

He is only complimenting Xi to make Biden look stupid, and once he is office, he will be the biggest anti-China advocate there is.
