You wonder what sorts of shriveled brains produce the logic that the Opposition — still dominated by leaders of the Yellowtard-Communist Axis — apply to the issue of the Philippine Government response to the latest South China Sea incident. Not even the editor of Yellowtard newsletter Inquirer can resist the call for a bit of sabre rattling…
How do we not lose one inch of territory as promised by the President? The only way is to deploy better-equipped and bigger ships in and around the reefs and shoals in the West Philippine Sea.
