Does Philippine President Duterte think before he opens his mouth?

He now wants to be allies with China and Russia and is ready to cut himself "free" from the US? Did he forget that China is laying claim to massive amounts of his country's exclusive economic zone and we are their primary defenders? Never Go Full Retard, let's see how this turns out for you?

Calling the POTUS the "son of a whore" regardless of what you think about the current man in the office, is not something we as Americans can accept with a smile, even if Duterte did apologize? Obama cancelled talks in response

Then he said he wanted US SF to abandon OEF-P and get out of Mindinao? Link

Nevermind the extrajudicial killing of thousands in a war on drugs where you are invited to kill anyone you think is involved.  Turns out this guy used to have his own personal deaths squads when he was the Mayor of Davao! He has elected senators hiding in fear of their lives.

What a lunatic!

Meanwhile, the economic chaos this guy's mercurial politics have spawned resulted in the Philippine Peso being at its worse exchange since 2009 and S&P is threatening to cut their credit rating!

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 went to his funeral in Norfolk. Waited in the rain to see him lying in state. Got to meet his wife. If you ever visit the Tidewater area go to his museum and then you can walk a few blocks to visit the Wisconsin.

Exactly. Sounds like FBHO is on the side of the drug dealers in that one .

Assuming the previous presidents had State Department's blessing, looks like they blessed the wrong people, and now locals no longer support pro-American candidates.

Top Men.

EDIT: Happened in lotsa places really - foreign interests support the candidate that is most beneficial to THEM, i.e. sells his country the cheapest.
The locals, in turn, blame the Quisling and his masters for everything and anything.

They make up ~20% of CAs RN workforce, over 100K.

Phlippines trains about 80K new RNs per year and sends 10-20K to the US each year.

Oh yea they send money back home! They make 20x the $ in the US than they would as a RN at home.

Looks like someone is getting to the root of the issue. The entire west is committing suicide and the US will do nothing to prevent China from taking everything they want in SE Asia. He probably realizes it and would rather play ball with his soon to be overlords.

Maybe China promised to "give back" the Philippines EEZ that they stole if they switch sides, but I think it is far more likely that Ducherte is a thin skinned reactionary emotional murderous twit with a penchant for demagoguery.

Well it's third world so you can't always trust their stats but he's almost unanimously loved over there even after his war on drugs.

Sounds like he took their version of Chicago and basically killed off all the drug dealers and made it a safe town for everyone.

Article below citing his 91% approval rating;

Meanwhile, the immense popularity of Duterte's crusade and a climate of fear whipped up by the bloodletting have together silenced dissent from civil society. Hardly anyone turned up at candlelight vigils in Manila recently to protest against extrajudicial killings.

Even as the death toll rose, a July poll by Pulse Asia put Duterte's approval rating at 91 percent.

Anxious reminders by the Catholic Church of the commandment 'thou shalt not kill' make few headlines in the predominantly Catholic country, with newspapers preferring to carry breathless accounts of the latest slayings.

You can compare him to an idiot but he seems pretty far from Obama.

A "pivot" was necessary. Execution has not been the best. This problem is due to internal politics of the Philippines. We should have just kept them as a colony. Certainly should not have given up our sovereign base areas.

That's a lot of whining in a single OP. He called Obama what he is and I tip my hat to him for doing so, and he's one of the few actually tackling the issue of drug dealers within his nation. We can puff our chests about it all day but it's painfully obvious that Obama has damaged our prestige to the point that a pissant country is calling our President a "son of a whore."

100% guaranteed that Duerte is only killing dealers to replace them with his own.

And there's no doubt he is taking cash from the Chinese to look the other way as they steal territory from the Filipinos.
