If I were the President of the United States I'd tell Philippine President Duterte he has exactly 5 minutes to send a selfie wearing a "Got US Army SF?" T-shirt and a US Navy ball cap otherwise I'm ringing China and telling them the Philippine EEZ is up for grabs.
Acting tough for a domestic audience can be a good thing sometimes.
Acting tough at the considerable expense of a long term ally spending blood and treasure to assist in an unresolved domestic insurgency is a very very bad thing.
US or China.
Choose.
Fence sitting nations will ultimately be treated like the 5 dollar prostitutes they are.
