Philippines

On Tuesday, Duterte said he's willing to cut ties with the US in favor of Russia and China.
"Respect is important," he said in one of three speeches Tuesday. "If this is what happens now, I will be reconfiguring my foreign policy. Eventually I might, in my time, I will break up with America. I'd rather go to Russia and to China."
Duterte also had harsh words for the US President and the European Union: "Mr. Obama, you can go to hell. ... The EU better choose purgatory."

If Duterte hops in bed with Russia and China, I guess we don't have to worry about the South China Sea any more.

Should we say nothing about extra-judicial killings in the Philippines?

At what point should we comment on the internal affairs of other countries?


Another lunatic in the world. Just what we needed.


They elected their Donald Trump. America should take heed.


This dude is a total whackjob.


The upside of Duterte for visitors is they aren't hit up for bribes at customs to look the other way when they "find" a bullet in their bag.
