I guess you're talking about Duterte and everything he has said that are anti-US, especially the stuff he said to Obama recently. But there weren't really any official declaration or decision on ending the alliance, nor any cancellations of the US-Philippines defense treaties. From a wide country standpoint as well, the majority of the people here in the Philippines are still pro-US. Most Filipinos also still have some weariness with Duterte's plan on furthering relationships with China instead too.
As of now the only things that have been discussed is that Duterte wanted to cancel the Navy war games next year and the joint military operations with the USA. Other than that however, he hasn't said anything again recently regarding the US or the plan to cancel it.
Moving forward, I mean the situation is still pretty unstable right now, especially with Duterte's personality, and I'm worried about it too. But for the mean time, the video isn't completely incorrect as of the time it was made regarding the alliance status of both countries.
Should of mentioned overall Naval Tonnage, and at the end he did not discuss what America has for anti satellite warfare.
[QUOTE=Marbalo;51550322]What's the point of these videos?
Taking statistics from globalfirepower.com and making a video out of it? Why? The video didn't even go in-depth at all, just showed dry data comparisons, presumably in-case of a war between two parties.
This is like clickbait for armchair generals.[/QUOTE] I mean if we looked at Iraq like this, Iraq should have been able to put up an alright fight during desert storm. But they absolutely fell apart in basically no time at all.

Agreed.
I can have 100 tanks, and you can have 100 tanks.. but if it came down to a war where we could only fight with, say, tanks, then things like intelligence and espionage, satellite observation, reconnaissance, training, and technological differences inherent in the vehicles can heavily skew the outcome.
You might have 100 Panzer's, and I have 100 M1A1's.
You might have a similar level of tank tech, but my more advanced satellites and analytical models can plot and predict tank movements.
Those videos are a farce.
USA will fucking destroy China, thats it, end of discussion

A better argument against these videos is the fact that these two economies depend so much on each other that a war is simply out of the question. Strong economic ties are a better anti war security than all the nuclear bombs they have.
