The president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, has called the president of the United States a "son of a whore". Well now, is this any way for the leader of an ally to behave?
Perhaps the Philippines has forgotten the economic ties that bind us?
No, I shan't mention ties of friendship and common values, because if the Filipino president calls the leader of the United States a "son of a whore", we may in fact have very little in common.
Filipinos don't particularly like white people, generally speaking sneer ferociously at blacks, and just aren't very hep on the rest of us. They like our passports and our access to consumer goods.
"You must be respectful. Do not just throw away questions and statements. Son of a whore*, I will curse you in that forum!"
[Literally: Putang ina mo.]
If that rude, crude, thug Duterte represents them, nothing good can come of further relations. Perhaps we should reconsider our connection.
Actually I think we should boycott the damned place, halt all trade, and stop issuing visas to Filipinos, as well as criminalize transfers of money to Filipino nationals overseas. While we are at it, declare martial law in Daly City, and shoot anyone singing "Feelings, Nothing More Than Feelings".
Nobody really needs the Philippines.
