[quote=pete benetar;1503036]only that our good friends at samsung, hyundai, kia et al will be far more effective in controlling this fervor out of self interest than the pinoys.[/quote]the chaebols as well as the small and medium enterprises do play the nationalist card quite often.

[quote=pete benetar;1503036]i could care one iota if the whole peninsula fell under kim jung-in and his pal dennis except that my equity portfolios would come crashing down as well.[/quote]likewise here. i would shed no tears if kim jong-un took the southern half of the peninsula.

[quote=pete benetar;1503036]my retort is and has been that i personally don't see it as a major strategic region (compared to the real estate about the east sea) vis a vis ports and lanes and such, though bases in the scs would obviously threaten china with a much more comprehensive containment scenario. scs bases might also buy more points from the other contestants down there who are neutral or just leaning toward an alliance with us, but that's not a given either as many peoples just don't like cops and now we're back into the rigmarole of usa playing enforcer-in-chief, yet again. i'm a military guy and i like to be circumspect about these things, especially if it's my ass on the line or anywhere near it. but the ramifications of playing the enforcer has other very deep potential downsides which i think most on this mb would agree with. again, just some more fertilizer for thought.[/quote]we differ here wrt the value of the scs and the straits of malacca (som). east asia depends on me oil (far more so than the us as you mentioned earlier, but since oil is a commodity its disruption has a knock-on effect to all) and they are export-driven economies. i recall reading something like 50% of international commercial trade passes through the region - in 2011 over 15 million bbl per day passed through the som. for its part beijing has sought to bypass this strategic choke point through multi-billion dollar megaprojects, such as building a port and oil and gas pipelines in myanmar (kyaukpyu special economic zone); built and operates gwadar port in pakistan; proposed building road and rail links between chittagong, bangladesh and kunming, china; proposed building roads and a high-speed rail link that would connect kunming with the cambodian capital via laos; and even explored the feasibility of constructing a canal through thailand's kra isthmus that would allow it to bypass the som.

it's a helluva lot cheaper to use the existing som and scs shipping lanes, so beijing's investments to diversify its supply channels away from the scs and som indicate the leadership is very uncomfortable with the power vacuum there and the us naval and air presence in japan and guam. once it has a fully operational blue-water navy with 2 or 3 carriers the chinese could very well be the dominant force in the region.

the downsides of the us re-entry in the region are very true, but with the us more closely present the se asian states have an option. the absence of the us leaves everyone with china. for dozens of years the us has maintained military ties with thailand, malaysia, indonesia, singapore and the philippines through exercises such as cobra gold, carat, balikatan as well as visiting force agreements (vfa), and it has improved military ties with vietnam. this multi-year investment would be a waste if the us was to acquiesce to china's bullying. the damage to us credibility would cascade beyond the region.

[QUOTE=Hutsori;1502860]Whose views are given more credence in capitals around the world? This matters.[/QUOTE]And in capitalists' offices around the world. Perceptions matter and major players work hard to create their own constructed reality. I acknowledge I am not a peak oil scientist, but I understand it is based on models that project some point in time where oil production will necessarily begin to decline due to exhausting supplies and technologies. (Please educate me if I have this wrong.) But it seems to me that oil consumption is also largely dependent on demand. Otherwise, BP would not spend so much money trying to convince the American public about their sensitivity to the environment, nor would oil and auto industries invest lobbying effort to get ongoing government subsidies (relative to their bottom lines) poured into highway construction and maintenance. At risk of sounding redundant here (it is),"many interests internal to a country push and pull on the direction of foreign policy." And all are reading signs from each other's actions and actively constructing their own realities. Perceptions matter and the underlying dynamics often don't lend themselves to hard science.

[QUOTE=Hutsori; 1502860]As one who is very interested in the topic I have to say both Pete and Skip have brought forth germane facts and valid views.[/QUOTE]Am glad you are happy Hutsori but can I remind you this is a mongering board not one to for you a select few others to discuss ad naseum the minute details of your (and others views) on USA, Korean, Japanese influences / invasions / occupancies etc in the ASEAN region. There is a specific thread called Philippines politics try take the chat there where most of don't bother to read.

If any of this has any impact on mongering please enlighten me (and others who I have PMed with) it all started I think with the comment "will it increase prices for us monger" or something like that.

If I wanted to know what you and others are yacking on about in detail I would sign at one of the unis here and be a student surrounded by lovely female students who I would encourage to form a 'study group' and invite selected professors to come and give there inputs on the topic.

Now for general mongering information that is important to our 'hobby'. Did anyone read about the increase in HIV cases in the country, recently reported in the media but given all the other stuff happening not given the prominence it really deserves? It did say that most of the increase was to M2M contact (ie homosexuals) but it pays to be careful gentlemen.

Over and out.

Rates in the PI still relatively low; even more concerning I think is identification of a super strain in west Afirca that shortens progression (mean) of HIV to AIDS from about 12 years to 5 years. Same article with data from WHO indicates AIDS is also increasingly plaguing eastern Europe, probably due to paucity of anti-retrovirals available for treatment coupled with poor screening. The report on the superstrain by the way did note that while it progresses faster from HIV to AIDS, the strain remains sensitive to treatment. If you monger bareback (especially if you have "alternative" lifestyle habits) get tested annually and, if seroconverted to HIV positive, get on retrovirals immediately and stay on them.

BTW, guilty as charged on yacking ad nauseum. One more on SCS etc by me and I will change tag line to "yacker"

Fellow Mongers,

I have been mongerin' all over latin america and my home the USA for some time now. Mexico, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Colombia, Ecuador (where I was born). I have contributing posts in the respective countries. My fav of all time is Medellin. Been there 4 times. Tryin to do Peru the summer 2014.

But before I go to Peru. I want to hit up a asian country. I do a lot of MP in the states like Dallas TX, California just so I can get my asian fix. Mainly Korean and Thai beauties and some Chinese.

So my questions is which asian country do I go too. My main countries I'm looking at are Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia.

I don't really have a body type that I prefer. I usually like spinners with a little curves and thick girl with Phat booties. My requirements to going to a asian country is:

Price of serivces, GFE, and convenience of going from one place to the other for service. I like to do multiple pops a day. Thats why I like go to Medellin. (go from brothel to brothel then to the centro strip club) Love it!

Where do I get more bang for my buck? Correct me if I'm wrong. Thailand seems to have a lot of MP and bars which I like, but you end up pay $80 US for for an hour so. I might as well stay in the states.

The Philippines has a lot of skinny ladies with no shape. But the appeal of the ladies knowing some english does help.

I don't know what I get with the Indonesian chicks.

I would like to do all-nighters on this trip. Which place is better for this?

Please guys help a fellow mongerer out!

Dcfan77, you are funny. You posted this same question in every possible thread. Ok I will try to answer you here. On the question of where to go in Asia, well, all the places where you posted are damn good choices. Pick one. It doesn't really matter where you go because you will have a great time in either BKK, Pattaya, AC, Subic, or Jakarta plus your first Asian sortie will most likely not be your last. It is so easy to get hooked on the girls out here.

For the most bang for the buck the choice is simple. It comes down to either AC, Subic or Soi 6 Pattaya. For all-nighters and GFE the best place is the PI specifically AC and Subic. For multiple short times with as many different girls as possible your best choice is Soi 6 Pattaya. For best looking girls, hang the expense its BKK, and Macau.

Lastly, you wrote that you like 'spinners with a little curves and thick girl with Phat booties' well Jakarta might be best for that, but take note: most Asian girls have natural 'A's' and 'B's' and are not near as curvy as Latinas, although Pinays generally carry more weight than Thai girls and Indos generally are more endowed. Personally I can't stand large bundas and fake tits so I prefer Asian women. I also think Asian girls (PI, Thai, and Indos) have much nicer personalities. That is why the last time I was in Colombia was over ten years ago. Don't get me wrong, they have some beautiful women down there, just overall, I prefer Asian girls by a wide margin.

Thanks bro. My writing is all over the place. LOL. How much would I spend for services in AC subic or soi6 Pattaya for services. Prices for hourly and all night?

[QUOTE=Dcfan77;1504102]Thanks bro. My writing is all over the place. LOL. How much would I spend for services in AC subic or soi6 Pattaya for services. Prices for hourly and all night?[/QUOTE]I haven't been to countries other than the Philippines, but I can tell you that it is universally agreed that the girls in the Philippines will give you much more of a GFE than any others. They are very emotional and sentimental, and very possessive, in general. And, depending on where you go, the cost is much lower.

Most girls are very happy with 2000-3000 PhP (like $45 to $65) for an all-nighter, especially if you find college students or others who aren't regular PFP types. You can seek these girls out in advance on free websites like dateinasia. Com, and have them waiting for you. And don't limit yourself to the popular mongering destinations. Even a place like Davao or Cagayan de Oro will have an abundance of talent just waiting to devour your body and heart. Just try chatting up some choice ones online before your arrival.

It is my understanding the girls in other countries see you as just a customer. Filipinas will see you as a boyfriend and potential husband, even if you make it clear that you are making no such commitments. But be careful, it is sooo easy to fall in love with these beauties! Good luck.

Thanks guy!

Looks like Phillippines is looking more favorable. I'm always looking for GFE and falling in love LOL!

Lmao! Me too dude. She could be a dog in the face but if she has a shapely figure, thats a wrap for me.
