I thought everyone was all, "Yea! Asia for Asians, FBHO!! I hate him too!!"?
I don't agree with much of what our POTUS says or does but on an international theater I WILL support him and any US citizen who does not is a fool. Because when China starts launching attacks supported by their bases/resources in the Philippines or some other territory their bombs and homing missiles don't have an ability to differentiate between those who don't like Obama/love Putin and Duerte and those who don't. It baffles my mind that ANY American would be cheering on a foreign president who makes disparaging remarks to our President. Other countries don't do that but we've become so fat, dumb and happy we think its cool. |

We've gone, in a few years, from hating Putin to totally embracing him, then wanting to push out some allies because they are going to re-align with China, but don't like BHO, too. WTF? You can hate Obama all you want, but having allies switch sides is not going to be positive, especially when we were the ones to grant the country friggin' independence in the first place. |

Like I said, I have a gripe with the guy, his wedge in US/Filipino relations is fucking up my long term career and retirement plans. That said, I do think the western media is hell bent on demonizing the guy. What I'm seeing in the news here and what I'm hearing from friends and family in the Philippines are two totally different things. I watched this kind of shit play out first hand when I was living down there, it's nothing new. |

Every Filipino I've spoken to loves Duterte and supports his crusade against the drug dealers. That entire country is corrupt, and every President since Marcos has been running on ending corruption and rooting out the drug dealers, he's the only one who's actually doing something about it. I say we butt out of it, leave them alone to clean house, it is their house. If anything, it will be useful to see how successful he is, what happens in a couple of years and if that works or if it backfires. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
If the military doesn't end up deposing him, Ducherte will end up having to make up his mind: either be allied with the US or with China. He cannot be truly independent as a maritime island nation because the Philippines has no Navy (3 US donated Coast Guard cutters with no missiles) and no Air Force (12 Korean FA-50 trainer/fighters, no AEW). They are ENTIRELY and COMPLETELY reliant on (pick a superpower) to defend their interests. Duterte HAS made up his mind - he chose China. He held a press briefing in Beijing today in which he explicitly said he has chosen China over the US. Unless he exits the scene in the very near term you can forget freedom of navigation etc in the South China Sea. This is a major loss for the US in that part of the world. Note that he said nothing about this course of action during his campaign. Guess he was waiting for the check from China to clear. I doubt many Filipinos (other than those who are also getting paid by China) agree with this. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
He sees leadership in other countries. He wants to follow. That's the way it is when you have poor leadership. People jump ship. NO... it's that way when you are a commie fuckstain and you are willing to leg hump other commie fuckstains, even if they just finished raping your country out of all their Exclusive Economic Zone rights in the SCS. |

If he does start trying to purge the military of opponents, or solidifies his pivot towards his country's enemy, Communist China (or both), I think it is well within the realm of possibility. Those things will likely be the spars that set it off. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I predict a military coup.

Those things will likely be the spars that set it off. The US would of course support Duterte against the coup

Philippines has had more coup attempts than Turkey, although fewer successful coups.
Quote HistoryQuoted: This guy is a complete shitstain bent on leading his country into ruin. I do hope the military there takes him out. What he's doing has consequences for quite a few countries, not just his own. Yep. Were PH to move to the Chinese sphere of influence, it would be devastating for the interests of the US, Taiwan, Japan, Indonesia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Brunei, Australia, and others. |
