We cannot entertain talk of secession every time some guys have some petty grievances over something

Has Spain ever entertained any request for secession from Basques and Catalonians?

Has Britain ever seriously entertained any talk about secession by Scotsmen, Welshmen or Irishmen?

You reckon? Well, I for one would not dare to bet my last dingy dollar on that, dude.

US in particular is looking to me like seriously making long term preparations to beef up their presence in the Philippines, with a view to making Philippines their forward base in Western Pacific in the event of a major conflict with China over Taiwan.
