Honestly, seeing the Philippines and the US ramp up their military drills doesn't surprise me, but it does raise some eyebrows from a libertarian standpoint. While I get the need for national defense and securing one's borders, this massive show of military force could escalate tensions rather than maintain peace. It's crucial that nations focus on diplomacy and peaceful resolutions over saber-rattling. The involvement of multiple countries in these drills, while it may seem like a strong stance against aggression, could potentially provoke further conflict, drawing us into entanglements that defy the principle of non-intervention. Libertarians like me often advocate for a more restrained foreign policy, fearing that actions like these might lead us down a path we're better off avoiding.
