The Phillipines. When Will The West Learn?
Typical Americans. The slightest hint of a humanitarian crisis and they can't wait to get stuck in and 'save some ass'. Who elected them the world's 'ambulance service?' Did we get a vote?
What a surprise, willing lapdog, the UK is only to glad to wag it's tail along with the other western cronies.
Let's face it, this is about oil. the only reason they are sending planes, aircraft carriers and troops is to prop up their arms industry. Did they think we would be fooled into not seeing the significance of the phillipines strategic proximity to china?
What about an exit strategy? has anyone given that any thought? At this rate we could be re-building infrastructure, schools and hospitals for years to come, all at the expense of western taxpayers.
When are we in the west going to start listening to the likes of george galloway and stop meddling in the internal affairs of other countries?
When are we going to stop getting involved? Bloody Americans and their western allies!

This is typically an anti American, anti British post.
I salute America for what they are doing to help all those poor people of the Philippines and also feel proud that Britain is not trailing too far behind, in giving this humanitarian aid.
I may have missed it but I have not heard any response from Europe yet.
As regards agreeing with George Galloway, listen to what he says regarding Israel and Iran, and see if you still agree with him.

I think DoctoDB is trying to make a point that people *** off the Americans for interfering militarilly but are awfully grateful to take their aid in a crisis.
It's the logic of a 4 year old of course to attempt to link the two.
A bit similar perhaps to arguing that 'Yes Jimmy Saville was a serial paedophile and abuser but you were all gratefull for his fund raising weren't you'
Maybe I'm misinterpreting his 'satire' because it seems pretty dim put like that if that's the point he's trying to make

doctordb - I speak as one who has had the meaning of a post misunderstood because the printed word does not always convey a sense of irony / satire as it is intended.
On re-reading, i can see that your post is intended to be ironic, but irony is a tricky concept to assess in print.
Best bet for the future? Broad stokes.
Dial down the subtlety - your intended humour is missing its target by some miles.
No use castigating people for not understanding you - communication is the responsibility of the poster.
