"Limited Force" and the gathering war clouds between the Philippines and Malaysia...

‘Limited force’ could be used to rescue Filipinos in Sabah, says Santiago

i am going to buck conventional wisdom and not dismiss this as just another wacky thought from the good Senator... i think she is deliberately probing the national psyche on the palatability of a military intervention at Sabah... i suspect there are serious powerful people behind this idea...

as to the ignoramuses who think that we do not have the capability to grab by force Sabah from Kuala Lumpur... think again!... there are 100 million of us and only 30 million of them... and Sabah is only spitting distance from Palawan and Tawi-Tawi... in a full-scale intervention scenario, we can easily infiltrate 10,000 combatants to Sabah within a week... we have seen what 235 combatants can do... so we have quite a good idea what 10,000 combatants can do too... once the numbers are there... the hidden loyalties of the 800,000 Filipino diaspora in Sabah will come out into the open... and that number would just be too high to handle for Kuala Lumpur's armed forces...

but is this what we really want?... Just like the hordes of Beijing... the hordes of Kuala Lumpur are technically our cousins too...
