            When the US stationed missiles in Turkiye and Italy, which could reach the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union returned the friendly gesture with stationing missiles in Cuba.

            Somehow in the west this is know as "Cuba missile crisis" and not as "Turkiye missile crisis" despite the US having started it.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Missile_Crisis

            Arguably these were nuclear missiles, which is a level further, but the Typhon launchers are also nuclear capable.
            I have no doubts that the US would react in a similar fashion if Russia or China were to station comparable systems in Central America again.

              If china doesn't want any of this, then they should stop bullying SEA. In this case, as a south east asian, i stand by my opinion, china and the anti-west sentiment can go eat a cock for all i care.

              And stop calling this escalation, china has been doing that for quite a while now.

                Escalation can be mutual and reciprocal.

                However as the article cautions, the Philippines should be wary of the US changing its mind and abandoning them, as the US has done with many "allies" before, after ramping up escalation.
                The US wants to contain China inside the islands. They are not interested in your countries, or any countries sovereignty unless it benefits the US. Any mayor power acts like this.

                  Isn't that obvious? What US opinion hold will depend on who are the president. Country allied each other for mutual benefits and interests, not out of pure goodwill, which in this case the mutual interest is that china fuck off and we gonna milk it. Containing china cancerous expansion and wild claims benefits SEA and Asean.
