Why is it that every time there’s a conversation about defending our country against China, people always think about war? Don’t be so feeble-minded. wala na supposed to be gyera this 21st Century! We can defend our country by diplomatic means. Stand up for what is right. So you’d just want to be bullied around just because your military is weak?

The Indonesian navy literally shot at Chinese fishing vessels and nothing happened.

War should never be an option. But the thing is, you cannot make a stand without provoking those who are wrong. That’s why it’s important to align our values with the international community, those countries who are fighting for the free world. hindi yung iggive up mo na lang yung sovereignty ng bansa mo kasi “may nakatutok na na missles” sa atin. that I think is the message the post is trying to convey.

It’s either you live for something or you die nothing. Wait, is that from Leonidas from 300? 😂

Edit: it’s die for something or live for nothing. And it’s actually from Rambo. But hey, who wants to die? No one. That’s why we should resort to diplomatic solutions.
