USS Chicago visiting Philippines is a nuclear submarine

USS Chicago is a nuclear submarine

Just eleven days and the United States is already sending its first class fighters in the Philippines. The first to arrive is the USS Chicago, a tough, battle scarred attack submarine responsible for thousands of enemies killed at Desert Storm.

Nothing wrong except that, I understand that in the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) signed by President Noynoy Aquino and US president Barack Obama some 11 days back, the purpose why this agreement exists is for the US military to train and empower or equip Philippine troops of knowledge and prepare them for any eventuality.

This is a submarine. Do we have a submarine? How in the hell will Philippine troops benefit from this?

And then it really hits home. The official statement released by the US embassy is that the USS Chicago is here for a "port call" and it will dock at Subic Bay, a former naval base abandoned by the US when the MBA was scrapped in 1991, now an economic zone, peopled by Chinese firms.

What is the purpose of the "port call"? It is for rest and recreation or "R&R", the very same despicable term often read by Filipinos during the time when the Americans were really the ones managing those naval and air bases.

So, the visit is really not for training our troops, but for Americans to enjoy the hospitality of our enslaved women sex workers based in Zambales. Why R&R when they are supposed to be training our troops?

Likewise, I remember our Constitution and it prohibits nuclear weapons from entering our territory. Of course, defenders out there would say that the sub does not have nuclear weapons, therefore the visit does not violate the Constitutional provision.

Crap. They probably forgot that the SUBMARINE ITSELF IS A NUCLEAR WEAPON, a diving modern weapon using a nuclear reactor.
