Popular Post Jerno Posted April 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2022 Biden reaching out to a military coup leader? Well, well, well....how short political memories are. In this case it's only to gain US more buffer against China. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sqwakvfr Posted April 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2022 The US-ASEAN summit is in DC. Since Thailand is part of ASEAN why would he not be included? Next time how about holding the summit in an ASEAN nation. Long way to go to essentially talk about nothing. The future of ASEAN is to be aligned with China. Besides military assistance and training what else can the US offer to any ASEAN nation? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t tell the US conservatives, some already see me as a deserter and it really infuriates them that I will be voting in the US 2022 elections by Absentee Ballot! 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post swm59nj Posted April 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2022 I normally don’t get involved in political debate. And I’m not saying Biden is a great President. I don’t know why some are having issues with Biden doing this. im sure if Trump was President he would have invited North Korea. Since he thought their leader was such a nice man. But I guess that would have been ok. How conveniently some forget. 3 3 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendejo Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 The South China Sea has a few possible flashpoints, even Obama said it was cautious area 10 or so years ago. China needs a solid ally on the SC Sea for naval facilities (like the type they are said to be building with artificial islands) and doesn't have one yet. Biden will probably ask for assurances that Mr PM not provide them with such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Misterwhisper Posted April 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2022 Did Don also "reveal" that the Biden administration invited the government leaders of all other ASEAN countries as well? I am asking because I highly doubt that "Uncle Too" was the only one invited to attend a diplomatic event conspicuously called "ASEAN-US Summit". 7 hours ago, webfact said: and the Prime Minister would arrange his schedule as much as possible to meet the dates. How gracious of him that he would adjust his schedule to meet the summit dates and not simply set his own dates and let the Americans know when he is available. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
