PHILIPPINE PRESIDENT DUTERTE DYING OF END-STAGE SYPHILIS

Really, what else is one supposed to think when the President of a rinky-tink tin pot country tells the leader of the United States to "go to hell"?
The Philippines is probably the worst parasite we have.
And Duterte is certifiably insane.
Funny, but insane.


If Duterte wishes to establish better relations with, let us say, a big country near him that keeps grabbing chunks of the ocean (guess who) or the Moscow Mad Man, he should go right ahead.


Yes, I realize that Duterte is a crude piece of dreck, and playing primarily to an ignorant audience, but putang ina, his berserk utterances do not play well here in San Francisco. Perhaps in Daly City -- a suburban hellhole if ever there was one -- and in a few other miserable locales, but not in the one place which sometimes pays favourable attention to the Philippines.

Because trust me, nobody else does.

Sneering, at best.


By the way, Duterte, how many of your own citizens have you killed today? And how bad has the human rights situation become? Are you really aiming to be Emperor Bokassa and Idi Amin rolled into one? It may take a while, what with them being the gold-standard of twirling crazy psychopath leadership, but I'm sure you'll get there eventually.

You are talented. Not in a good way, but very talented.

Of course by then nobody will invest in your country.

DUTERTE DOES NOT NEED THE UNITED STATES

The follow-up from Digong Duterte calling President Obama a "son of a whore" has been swift; a scheduled meeting between the two leaders has been cancelled, with no future confabs announced. Kumandar Duterte may be a capable leader of death squads, but is an abject failure at international relations.
Hubris has always been a problem for Filipinos.


"Putang ina mo!"


In electing Duterte, the Filipino people have thrown their trust in with a brutal thug, a bigot, and quite possibly a rapist. In fact, Rodrigo 'Rodeng' Duterte is such an all-round disgusting exemplar of Filipino manhood that one wonders how far back his well-documented murderous proclivities go. Was he at an early age involved in hunting down Muslims in Mindanao, like so many other Visayan settlers were? Was he a patron or leader of the Ilagas, notorious gangs of Northern immigrants who engaged in rape and murder among the Moros during the Marcos dictatorship?
Or did he leave that to able relatives?
That last is doubtful.


Until the Philippines elects a clean man, who doesn't represent the brutalist stratum in the entrenched political class, the United States relationship with that place should redefine "lowest ebb".


Unlike the Arab world, which cannot do its own housekeeping and needs Filipinas, the United States has no need for Filipino immigrants.
We aren't that fond of mangoes either.



Let us ignore Duterte's human rights violations as well as all Filipino claims to any part of the South China Sea. We need to have a good relationship with China and Japan.

We can well-afford to ignore the Philippines.

FILIPINO PRESIDENT SHOWS TRUE COLOURS, CURSES OBAMA

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.
