Possibly thinking a major U.S. aid package had been terminated, an enraged Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte said “bye, bye” to America in retaliation Saturday and threatened to dissolve an agreement that allows U.S. troops to visit the Philippines.

Duterte won the presidential election earlier this year largely based on his promise to aggressively target drug dealers and criminals.

Philippine police and vigilantes have killed at least 3,600 people for drug use and drug sales since Duterte took office at the end of June.

“We can survive without American money,” Duterte said, “but you know America you might also be put to notice. Prepare to leave the Philippines. Prepare for the eventual repeal for the abrogation of the Visiting Forces Agreement.”

He is not a good guy.

He is not a good guy.

Duerte is a wild card like Putin, but seems to be way more authoritarian than even he is. He doesn't go out and terrorize the world though, at least not yet.

If the Egyptians, Israelis, Jordanian and other major recipients of billions of $US tax payers welfare aid started to think like him, it would help in making America great again. This is now trending on front page of goog news:

UN needs more time to summon A-list neocons and expert witnesses like Colin Powell to prepare a compelling presentation at UN for Freedom Spreading there.

But first, neocons will try to handle the problem in a more economical way:

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte should be investigated for murder over killing claim, UN says

Prince Zeid added that he had asked authorities to also examine the "appalling epidemic of extra-judicial killings" committed during Mr Duterte's anti-drug crackdown.

Maybe the US should take care of it's own "appalling epidemic of extra-judicial killings" over it's own WoD.

Well US War of Drones was carried out by a Nobel Peace prize winner, it would not look good for US image in the world if a historic Nobel Prizer was prosecuted for extrajudicial killings.

Also, dronegangsta puppet in this case might be able to argue a "was just following orders" defense possibly... as you hinted earlier.
In contrast, Duterte calims that he is nobody's puppet.

Maybe he is and maybe he isn't- the US has controlled the Philippines for over a century- we shall see......

Book Review: What is striking about “Honor in the Dust,” Gregg Jones’s fascinating new book about the Philippine-American War, is not how much war has changed in more than a century, but how little. On nearly every page, there is a scene that feels as if it could have taken place during the Bush and Obama administrations rather than those of McKinley and Roosevelt. American troops are greeted on foreign soil as saviors and then quickly despised as occupiers. The United States triumphantly declares a victorious end to the war, even as bitter fighting continues. Allegations of torture fill the newspapers, horrifying and transfixing the country.
