hey look! if this threat ever comes to fruition, and i hope it never does, at least certain individuals here will get to learn their lesson -- if one can even learn lessons in death.

He's about to go full Marcos.

Duterte is one of the best presidents since the corrupt aquino administration.We are currently fighting the maute group (Which is funded by the corrupt) and the person that made a terror attack is not a terrorist just a jealous person that lost in a poker match. The supporters of the Rody Duturte are nationaly ignored in the USA for some reason.

Bcoz he's the only other President after Aquino.

Also, since when did the "corrupt" in this country instigate the Marawi crisis? For someone who wants to hoard all the taxpayer pesos, these suspects are doing terrible at retaining their ill-gotten wealth. Why blow off some cash to fund a bunch of ragtag bandits in the middle of nowhere to attack some unsuspecting city anyway? They could just get another Lamborghini.

plus badly constructed sentence seems to conflate RWM and Maute

disagree with it being the middle of nowhere, otherwise we wouldn't have a refugee crisis -- disagree with the car being a Lamborghini, Rolls Royce is the best -- and agree with the general sentiment of why the fucking hell would corrupt politicians endanger business interests like this? i think they could definitely fund these terrorists, but only indirectly and accidentally; ie, "fund" is not really the right term

No, we are not a nation of cat people. We're all humans (and a few annoying gnomes) here. The cat's just there because our king is such a genius, he saw that it would be a good military strategy to have a distractingly cute flag, to blind our enemies to (our) victory!

Dutsy was kind of right about their funding, though. The army got a whole duffel bag full of meth the other day.

So the price of meth is going down in Manila?

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-phili ... SKBN19G05D

Another failing war on drugs, Duterte is going to turn the Philippines into another Mexico.

But the same article also shows the price of meth is going up elsewhere. How exactly is this failing if only Manila's price went down?

Because Manila is presumably where the main market for drugs is, not the more remote regions. Replacing home produced meth with imports is not a success either.

Probably never.

Maute and the assorted Muslamic rabble aren't so dangerous that a Southeast Asian state like the Philippines would call for foreign troops to do direct action against them. Now if you've got drones, recon aircraft and special forces like say the Yanks and Aussies have been lending then we may be listening...

Speaking of meth, I learned medical-grade methamphetamine (aka the stuff that fueled the Nazi blitzkriegs) is still prescribed for managing ADHD.

Yikes. As an ADHD patient, that's kinda creepy.

Funnily enough, the Chinese are very stingy about helping. At most they've given some small arms.... as if we have an arms shortage or something. Then again our "best friends" don't want to give us meaningful stuff like bombers, tanks or smart weapons.... though considering their quality I'm in no particular hurry to get Chinese shit.
