@beowulf saidThe Spanish/American war is when the USA became an imperialist power and used a false flag event (USS Maine) as an excuse to take Cuba and the Philippines from Spain. Look up the "age of imperialism".
Maybe the USA knows China is about to invade Taiwan so they are setting a line that China can't cross.
I don't know, just guessing.
Once a nation controls a colony they never give it up by choice. Control is what it is all about. Nobody gives up control willingly. It is still a colony. So is Japan and South Korea. They are all puppet governments that serve the west.

"In 1896, the Philippine Revolution began, which then became entwined with the 1898 Spanish–American War. Spain ceded the territory to the United States, while Filipino revolutionaries declared the First Philippine Republic. The ensuing Philippine–American War ended with the United States establishing control over the territory, which they maintained until the Japanese invasion of the islands during World War II. Following liberation, the Philippines became independent in 1946. Since then, the unitary sovereign state has often had a tumultuous experience with democracy, which included the overthrow of a decades-long dictatorship by a non-violent revolution."

@suzianne saidYou honestly believe the Philippines achieved independence? I suppose you think Australia and New Zealand are independent from the UK too. The history books are nonsense to dupe you into thinking we liberate who we conquer.

You lied about being a socialist and now going directly to being communist and you think you can diss OUR loyalty to the US? I served four years in the military and had a top secret security clearance. Tell me about YOUR military duty and YOUR top secret clearance.
