Putting it in a country currently facing fuel shortage seems like a very smart thing to do.

Chinas' biggest fumble in the past 10 years was pushing the Phillipines back into US arms with their braindead attacks in the SCE and The Phillipines EEZ.

What target? Unless you are talking about China - Neither Iran nor any of their proxies have the ability to reach even close to the Phillipines.

Subic Bay is an obvious first choice.

Article said Subic bay is already being used as a fuel depot. This is talking about a proposed second site in the south near Davao.

If the US fails to come to the aid of Taiwan, it’ll be over for their influence in Asia and probably all of their allies.

Agreed, but “destroying international influence and goodwill” seems to be the regular course for the current GOP

What is the point? Iran has shown by just bombing the bases puts a huge dent on operations. A couple missiles will make that storage facility an environmental hazard.

You're right. I was going to study for my math test but it's possible i may get hit by a tomahawk missile tonight so there really is no point in studying.

You don’t think those barrels would be protected / have air defenses and its own drones esp by 2028

The Defenders have to stop every single one, the attackers just have to get one through.

Russia is still losing oil facilities to drones 4 years into a war. It's impossible to stop all incoming attacks with air defense. If its in range its going to eventually be hit.

The US lost an E-3 plane, one of its most crucial planes for air superiority simply because they left it parked out in the open. Don't put sheer stupidity out of the possibility for this regime.

I agree but US is definitely behind the scenes Ramping up its planned drone force for sure.

Yep, expend a couple hundred million dollars worth of munitions to protect a couple million dollars of fuel from a couple thousand dollars worth of drones.

It's more like a dozen at this point no? Not to mention joining the game of bumper cars in Filipino waters, irregular blockades, dumping poison. I don't think you can call these subtle at all. No one needs to die for an action to be obvious or direct, like stockpiling fuel.

Legit question. Bakit hindi nila ilagay sa West Philippine Sea instead of Mindanao? Since ang dami na din itinayo don ng China ket na ang layo naman sa Bansa nila. Also, will this affect fuel prices or US lang talaga maggi-gain dito? So bakit sa bansa natin?

theres currently over 2000 inhabited islands of Philippines. would be a good place to hide it among those. however with satellite imagery its just a mild inconvenience to locate.
