No, that doesn't count. The isolationists wanted to deprive Ukraine of aid. Doesn't mean we (necessarily) have to send troops to be not-isolationists. And we have no treaty with Ukraine to do so (unlike the Philippines).

Yes, I'm aware that we are being invited back to PI. However, Marcos is hesitant to do much more. He won't even arm his Coast guard with water cannons. Yet. He says he doesn't want to escalate, but China is doing that all by themselves. We can only do FoN missions, and such, until he asks for help with Chinese attacks.

I don't think the Chinese would use water cannons on one of our ships...
