“When our troops are already hungry, they don’t have any supplies anymore because our resupply mission have been blocked and they are on the verge of dying, then that’s the time we are going to seek the help of the United States,” Brawner said in a press conference at the Philippine Military Academy following this year’s Mutual Defense Board-Security Engagement Board meeting.
Indo-Pacific Command chief Admiral Samuel Paparo, who is in the Philippines for the meeting, had said days prior that it was an “entirely reasonable option within our Mutual Defense Treaty” to escort Philippine missions. The August 26 mission was the latest in a string of China Coast Guard and Chinese military harassment of Philippine missions to the West Philippine Sea. In the past two weeks alone, these Philippine missions, whether by sea or air, were met with a range of China’s disruptions — from the use of flares in the air, water cannons at sea, to outright ship collisions.
