The United States warned Friday it
would “respond accordingly” if China
installs a military base on the strategic
Solomon Islands after the tiny Pacific
state signed a security pact with
Beijing.
The White House said a high-level US
delegation had told the leadership of
the Solomon Islands that the recently
signed pact has “potential regional
security implications” for Washington
and its allies.
“If steps are taken to establish a de
facto permanent military presence,
power-projection capabilities, or a
military installation, the delegation
noted that the United States would
then have significant concerns and
respond accordingly,” the White
House said.

National Security Council Indo-Pacific
Coordinator Kurt Campbell and
Assistant Secretary of State for East
Asian and Pacific Affairs Daniel
Kritenbrink led the delegation, also
including Pentagon officials, to the US
state of Hawaii, then Fiji, Papua New
Guinea and the Solomon Islands this
week.
The Solomons stop came right after
China confirmed sealing a wide-
ranging security pact seen in
Washington as part of a battle for
diplomatic influence and strategic
positioning across the Pacific and its
trade routes.
Solomons Prime Minister Manasseh
Sogavare has sought to reassure
Washington and close ally Australia
that the China deal does not include
establishing any military base.
According to the White House
statement, “Sogavare reiterated his
specific assurances that there would
be no military base, no long-term
presence, and no power projection
capability, as he has said publicly.”
“The United States emphasized that it
will follow developments closely in
consultation with regional partners,”
the statement said.
During a 90-minute meeting with
Sogavare and two dozen members of
his cabinet and senior staff, the US
officials discussed expedited opening
of a US embassy, healthcare
assistance, vaccine deliveries and
increased “people-to-people ties,” the
White House said.

FlippersCare123:

Una eye go open by force

Lol... No one takes the US serious these days.. Trust Chinese will

Since they ran out of Afghanistan

Solomon Islands is very far from the US they are already scared shitless but Russia is evil for taking same action against direct neighbour Ukraine.

Useless country

All those US ass lickers should come and explain this.

Lol

And the same hypocritical America is asking Russia to fold its hands and watch Ukraine join NATO which survives solely on Russophobia

Joyandfaith, VictorUsa...
You guys should come and explain this to me, I don't seems to understand...

This thread should be moved to fp for wider view of USA and it's western allies hypocrisy.

Good job dear, ride on US.Our security matters alot to us.

Omo, this one na real hypocrisy. Somebody please remind me why USA is against Russia invasion again.

Those Pacific islands are as close as one gets to nuking US mainland. Hence, US feels threatened.

You see why I have no issues with Russia's move on Ukraine? Everyone must do everything to protect itself from being cornered.

That's why US is making threats. It's a dog eat dog world.

VictorUSA:
Good job dear, ride on US.Our security matters alot to us.

Mumu

I hope you people see the difference between sense and nonsense.

According to Reuters, the planned response could Include stopping foreign aid to the Solomons and building up a naval base nearby with Australia.

Zero threats of military action

That's how grownups react and respond. Not invading another country.

VictorUSA:
Good job dear, ride on US.Our security matters alot to us.

Werey
This your coconut head need community beating
What’s the distance between USA and Solomon Island?
Don’t same USA said they want to contain China and now China is moving to Solomon Island, next is Haiti and then Mexico for China to have military bases.

seunny4lif, there two grounds on which US expansion be justified:

(1)The US-led NATO is an alliance.It's a defensive alliance that fights any external agression against its member state.Not only the US is expanding its military bases as a nation.

(2)The US is a democqacy that seeks to promotes its ideology in other countries for the benefit of the common man in the street.Communists like Russia and China are control-minded.Their governance is laced with authoritarianism.The press,the public, the oppositions doesn't dare to challenge the policies of those ocupying positions in the government.Therefore, any move to plant a military base by such countries must be condemned and thwarted.

Next time, share your opinion without insultive words, that way you will sound more reasonable.

Democracy is a lie.... Ask the Racists, ask Buhari and ask Israel.

There's what's call freedom of belief.... Choosing to belong to communism isn't a sin like the west make it look like.

Going by the literal meaning of Communism and its application, it is not bad.But looking at the practical lifestyle of communists, they rule like monarchs.
