How important do you think is the alliance between the United States and Singapore for Southeast Asia? Let us know down below!
If Singapore was not US's ally, China could go from South China Sea into Indiana Ocean easily.
Singapore is not in an Alliance with US
Security partner. Not ally. Your information is wrong.
Singapore is a true super power in Asia
Malaysia is fearful
Indonesia chooses to be friendly

Senator Tom Cotton seemed to have trouble differentiating Singapore from China.
Not true. Senator Tom is not stupid he did that on purpose because Mr Chew is not a true blue Singaporean. His wife and children are American citizen, why? So he must be a half-way Singaporean. One day he may go back to China.
@@Justsaying-cg2nz Not a true blue Singaporean? That's quite ignorant, given that Chew did his national service in Singapore. Clearly, Tom Cotton isn't the only dumb person.
@@ivancen5020 So what ,do you want me to name another Singapore traitor which also did NS.
Cotton is an educated idiot n there’s a lot of them in congress n senate.
@@manerosnf8449 plse name this "traiter" then. Remember to compare apples to apples so as not to look foolish.
As a Singaporean I am so grateful Singapore such a good partnership with the US in terms of economy and military.
To be enemy of USA is dangerous...to be friend fatal.....you better grow up..😅😊😢..listen..learn more from Singaporean diplomat...from the past..the best..in the world...😊😅😂
@@ganboonmeng5370 Don't tell that to me ,tell that to the government , I am a nobody , you are wasting your breath.
Singapore paid billions of US dollars to purchase the arms, logistics and training. It was not given free as charity aids. Of course, the opportunities for interaction and learning is a big boon to upgrade the Singapore Armed Forces capabilities and professionalism. Singapore has good relationship with China as well in addition to the Asean countries and often have jointed military exercises which is not mentioned in the video.
Ordered 4x F-35B plus 8x F-35B . Recently, 08x F-35A ordered.
Singapore is Asia's Logistics Centre, Rolls Royce Engine Repair/Overhaul Centre, Ship repair, Air Hub, Medical Centre, Medivac Centre, R&R Centre. Signing with Singapore is a wise decision and you pay well.
Add: Since 1965, we've been participating in military exercises/trainings with various countries, including that of China. Also, we regularly send military personnels to different military colleges globally, as part of the efforts to strength bilateral military relationship, and that of understanding their military-related stuffs, and culture.
Wow! Cool video! I love your videos
Hey. US weapons to Singapore are not free , nor they are discounted.
Singapore paid expensively for this honour.
The only kudos is US allowing and trusting Singapore ownership of top US weapons in this close desirable friendship.
Singapore is one of the most important allies of US in Asia !!!
In southeast asia yes, but I still rate Japan as more important
SINGAPORE IS NOT IN ALLIANCE WITH USA...MORE THEN ONCE..OUR GOVERNMENT HV CLARIFY...WE HV DEFENSE CO OPERATION TREATY...WE SHARE RESOURCE....
@@HKspurs10 Japa.n and S.Korea too 👍👍
Also Taiwan and South Korea @@HKspurs10
That Singapore ministry of education want you to believe. @@ganboonmeng5370
Tom Cotton thinks otherwise.
Funny, because the Chinese think we are too pro US. That’s what you get when u refuse to play into big power politics.
😂
Cotton goofed big time. Going solo to instill negative US vibes in Singapore public at large. Not healthy for future US Singapore developments.
Even the well educated can be idiots. Not a surprise anymore.
@@weikwanglee4383the Republicans are greatly influenced by Donald Trump. They make the most incredible and crazy statements. Even sane Republicans are repulsed by MAGA Trumpists and feel shameful of their party. Qanon and conspiracy theorists fill their ranks. Don’t think Singapore government are influenced by such Shenanigans! Utter idiocy and hypocrisy.
What many people do not know is that China also have transit rights in Singapore. Although not as significant as basing rights, it is to show the world that singapore does not side any superpower and maintain its neautrality
We have our own agency and as such the basic premise is whether its "in our national interests". Balancing act is not easy but inevitable in this context
Singapore is not a military ally. We are a strategic security partner.
whatever u can say singapore is aligned with the USA
@Darkest_templar NO way..we will fight America's war,.f,.o😊
Just bought 8 F35As @SGD82m each at black Friday sale.
Some misinformation there. Singapore is not a treaty ally of the US and unlikely to ever be, as we adopt a neutral stance and will never allow ourselves to be dragged into a conflict that isn’t ours.
The close partnership is on the basis of mutual benefit and ultimately only if it is to Singapore’s benefit, that this will continue.
Nice political-speak. Please continue. You are doing great. 😁😁😁
@@samo4003 it’s not political speak. Singapore is well known for being consistently straightforward and boringly so - we mean what we say and we do exactly what we say we will…
It is exactly what it is and we have made that plain and clear all the while.
@@eatdriveplay Like I said, nice political speak. But apparently only plain and clear to people like me. That is good though. And yes, I agree with you that Singapore's statements on foreign issues have always been consistent. They need to be. 😁😁😁
@@samo4003 consistent like sanctioning russia but not israel🤣
@@Trollingthemloudlytnd Understood. You believe that those who try to defend themselves must also be sanctioned. I suppose that would include Ukraine. 😁😁😁
Erm… our relationship with U.S. is transactional, more like Customer-Supplier, vice versa.
Inaccurate content
Singapore is a place where ethnic Chinese and Indians can work together, even marry each other and become one family. Singapire is also a place both Chinese and American military and businesses can co-exist peacefully and prosper.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The diplomacy is well balanced, walking on the tightrope between the two giants. 😄
I like how Singaporeans are such semantic policemen on this topic. That is good though. 😁😁😁
0:11 Well I wouldn’t exactly say ‘no more than 5 million people’ if we have like 5.8 million people haha
🇺🇸❤🇸🇬
US and Singapore does not have a military alliance. There is NO defence treaty, If Singapore is attacked, the US is under NO OBLIGATIONS (under the non-existent defence treaty) to come to Singapore's aid militarily or otherwise. What we have with the US is a defence cooperation agreement allowing the US to dock and resupply. We also have agreement for our military (especially our air force) to train in the US air bases and training grounds.
From a realist perspective,
it boils down to a convergence of national interests between the USA and Singapore.
For much of the post-WWII era,
the USA, as a regional security guarantor
has provided an international order
in which parts of East Asia,
including Singapore,
could grow and develop using export-oriented industrialization.
Over the postwar decades,
ties have been based on a deep reservoir of mutual strategic trust and goodwill
built up between leaders of the USA and Singapore.
The inter-operability of Singapore's defense systems with that of the USA
attest to that level of trust and confidence.
It is thus no miracle that US-Singapore defence ties reached this level today,
but rather in no small part to human effort.
Look at the passport indicators, they are there, because of non interference in others political business and without prejudice to theirs economics and financial standing. Always humble in their dealings and firm in violations domestic security 😄
In my fictional world, Malaysia are good allies with Singapore and United States
In my fictional world, Malaysia is more special than Singapore because they have Boboiboy and Ejen Ali
But Singapore was never a official ally
IM FROM SG CAN I GET PINNED PLEASE
1,2,3, pinned
Singapore is not an 'ally' of the US m a partner, yes... Ally, no.
stop it. Singapore is proud ally for US and "freedom"
Singapore has.many battle experiences in computer games...
What do you want? It's only 5 million population here..
How many countries in the world actually has actual modern combat experience? That's not exactly the insult you think it is lmao. If you want to be pedantic, even the USA hasn't fought with a comparable opponent in decades.
You pinoys clearly don't know about the battle for Singapore during WW2. And please stol hiding behind your ex coloniser, the Americans.
In my fictional world, Malaysia surpasses Singapore in every area because they have Boboiboy and Ejen Ali
Coconut bomoh
Ya they caught Mat Selamat for Singkies despite very "tight" security.
@@ebcho1 don't know. Don't care
@ebcho1 I can make whatever I want in my novel. So, I don't have to listen to a stupid people like you
@@avrinrose5457 ...lol..if you don't know and don't care then why still even bother to reply back...lol..noob
In my fictional world, Malaysia is better than Singapore because they have Boboiboy and Ejen Ali
Singapore is not an allied of the USA. Please get the fact right.
SG is US's ally??? Don't be so thick skin...😂 SG is neutral
Since when did Singapore becomes and Ally of the US Singapore is and Ally of china
Not.. Sg is NOT an ally of neither the US nor China. It's a reliable and serious country with a small but potent and high tech military. It does serious business with anyone including US and China
@@Jkl62200 okay thanks for the info but does Singapore have any problems with other countries
@@rickyboy6390 no problem. Used to have issues with its two big neighbors, Malaysia and Indonesia but that was in the 50's and 60's. That's when it also started its military with the help of Israel. Today, Singapore has a close relationship with both US and China. But military-wise, it is closer to the US but not an 'ally'. It regularly hosts US carriers and destroyers at the Changi Naval base for repairs and logistical support. And it uses many American stuff like f15, f16, f35 etc and have training facilities arrangements for them in the US in Arizona and Idaho. That's how people often think it is an ally of the US.
@@Jkl62200Singapore was and would be an America's puppet state.. The US does have a military base there.
Singapore is NOT an ally of China
