Philippines - would the Americans die to defend Philippines' claim on reefs in the South China Sea?

 The brave and 'heroes to be' Pinoys are now very high on American fentanyl, believing that the Americans would come to their aid, to defend the Philippines in its contest for reefs in the South China Sea. And Zelensky's double in Bong Bong would be the first to tell the Pinoys to fight till the last Pinoy to protect the Philippines, while he protects his family fortune held at ransom in the US.

And his confidence of the Americans sending American boys and girls to fight and die for the Pinoys must have gained credence with the unfailing American support for Zelensky, Nethanyahu and the incoming President of Taiwan Island, Lai Shing Te. Oops, oops, the Americans are still not committing American boots on the ground in Ukraine, though some are there as contractors or mercenaries. In Israel, they are just donning Israeli uniforms like in the 6 Days War. But not to worry, it is only a matter of time before the Americans send their boys and girls into Ukraine and Israel when the wars hot up and defeat stares in their faces. The Americans cannot afford to lose Ukraine and Israel, as it would mean the end of the American Empire and ruling the world like unchallenged gangsters.

For decades, the Americans have no qualms about sending American boys and girls into wars in Asia and the Middle East. The Korean War, Vietnam War, Afghan War, Iraq War, Syrian War. So sending American boys and girls to the Philippines for orgy should be no problem. The American boys and girls love the good time they will be having in the Philippines, another paradise on earth.

Have things changed and would the Americans walk away from their rhetorical support for the Philippines when the time comes? The fear of the Americans to send soldiers into Ukraine is a point to consider. They are reluctant so far. What have changed?

In the earlier wars when the Americans were happily sending their boys and girls to fight, thinking they would not die, was that the Americans were carrying the biggest club to clobber anyone that dared to stand in their way. However, the results proved the Americans very wrong, and they were clobbered, not only in Korea, Vietnam, but also in Afghanistan, and to some extent in Iraq. Many American boys and girls went home in black body bags.

In the contest in the South China Sea, this time the opponents are also carrying clubs as big as the Americans. This would make the Americans ponder about this wild adventure or misadventure. From the start the Americans know that they did not have any tactical or strategic advantage against China. And to pit a small fraction of the American forces against the full might of the PLA on their doorstep is in a way foolhardy. In another way, the American forces would be nothing more than a Mickey Mouse against a fire breathing dragon. The simple answer, no fight, no contest, even if all the other Mickey Mouses like Japan, Australia, New Zealand and even France, UK or Canada would to chip in piece meal with their antique bath tubs to take on China.

So, rational thinking, would the Americans send their boys and girls to fight a losing proposition against China in the South China Sea all for a few reefs the Pinoys want to claim against China? Would Bong Bong and his war hawks in the military have the intelligence to see the real picture, or choose to be high on fentanyl and hallucinate that taking on China is like 'chasing the dragon'?
