The US is in South-east Asia (SEA) to stir up trouble, again.

While visiting the Philippines, the US VP Kamala Harris, who can only smile broadly and laugh loudly more than doing anything else, tried to paint China as the Kraken of the South China Sea and a grave threat to the Philippines.

The new Philippines President, Marcos Jr., seemed to be taken in. He is considering inviting the US to return to the Subic Bay.

More political astute Filipinos are advising caution. They know how the US can turn a country into hell to serve its own national interest. It has turned Ukraine into burning hell, literally.

The US never stops instigating the Filipinos to fight with China for some tiny islets in the South China Sea. If the Filipinos are a smart people, they should ask the US to help return Sabah to the Philippines. That piece of Filipinos territory was
carved out of the Philippines to form Malaysia by the Brits, with Americans consent and support.
