i dont think this is a fair assessment of the filipino protests. he singles out an english article which tindig is mentioned, but the vast majority of these protests were grassroots and some even led by bayan and other national democratic groups who are ML. I think he shows a lack of knowledge in the conditions of the philippines.

yeah its true the trump administration kind of wants to not continue the war, but the military industrial complex and dept of war aee really advocating for the war to continue bc theyre using ukraine as a research ground for fibre optic drone warfare. aside from the obvious profit motives thats why they want the war to continue.
