Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Sen has just ordered the Cambodian Armed Forces to destroy or dump into Warehouses any Weapons that is made by the United States (US) that are in their Inventory after the US imposed another Arms Embargo on them.

Arms Embargo is a favorite Tactic of the Americans whenever a Country doesn’t do what they want them to do, and they have imposed it many, many times before. Even Indonesia felt the wrath of the American Arms Embargo a couple of Decades ago.

Going to War with Malaysia for Sabah should only be just as a Last Resort

Screenshot of the supposed Plot from the Philippines to send an Armed Group to Sabah

There are some News Articles going around recently saying that there is a Plot to send an armed Group from the Philippines to Sabah in February next Year (2022), and it reportedly involves a Government Official and an armed Militia from Sulu. 

While I do believe that the Philippines rightfully owns Sabah, taking it forcefully from Malaysia I think should be done only as a very last resort. Personally I feel that the solution to Sabah is similar to the solution in the South China Sea (SCS), and that is to conduct Joint Exploration and Joint Use of Natural Resources in the Area. 

US ignores Japan’s request to ground their F-16 Aircraft after Accident

Headline of the US ignoring Japan's request right in their own Country

So here’s what happened: An F-16C Fighting Falcon Aircraft of the United States Air Force (USAF) flying out of the Misawa Air Base where American Military Aircraft also operates dropped its 2 Fuel Tanks into the Aomori Prefecture Area recently before making an Emergency Landing. 

No one was hurt by the dropped Fuel Tanks, but the Japanese Government asked the Americans to ground their F-16s until the cause of the Accident was determined and that the safety of the Aircraft was confirmed.
