What US ally? The Philippines kicked us out of Subic Bay and said go away... so we went. And now the US Navy is a shrunken, socially engineered pansy boat regatta that can't steam straight.
Good luck, Philippine Islanders. You're going to need it.
Yes it was a stupid move by a few senators that caused the loss of Subic, but it wasn’t the sentiment of the majority of Filipinos, even the President at that time fought to keep the bases. The US Navy is still the strongest out there, but is now vulnerable to hypersonic missiles. Drones, aircraft and missiles will be the key. Clark is now host to US fighter planes.
