“Let us use your land for free in exchange for ‘protection’” sounds a lot like a mafia extortion. Then again I guess the US is used to taking land that isn’t their’s for free.
As much as I dislike US hegemony and think they need other powers to limit their powers, I’d not want it exchanged for a Chinese or (haha) Russian hegemony. And while it is purely for selfish reasons, I’m pretty sure the US would actually defend the Philippines in case China got too ambitious in that region.
