Philippines Suspends Patrols With U.S. in South China Sea

Oh no, the might of the Phillipine navy, consisting of three fucking Ex-USCG cutters, won't be joining the US anymore.

It's like they want China to steal their shit

>MANILA—The Philippine defense chief said Friday that he had suspended participation in any joint patrols with the U.S. of the disputed South China Sea, the first concrete sign of a crack in the military alliance following the election of President Rodrigo Duterte.
>Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana also said he also would ask a small detachment of American troops providing counterterrorism assistance on the southern island of Mindanao to leave as the president requested. But he said that would happen only after the Philippine military can carry out such operations on its own, something that could take years.

>Since taking office June 30, Mr. Duterte has caught U.S. officials and his own military off guard with seemingly off-the-cuff pronouncements with potentially far-reaching strategic implications. His aim, he said, is to loosen ties with the U.S. and give his Southeast Asian country a more “independent” foreign policy, with “new alliances” with China and Russia.

He's goin to actually do it that absolute madman

>>31593525
Most likely, he has cut a deal with China in exchange for this.

Chinese coast guard patrols would be ordered to refrain from harrassing PH fishermen in the disputed shoals.

>>31595763
I just find it highly ironic /k/ is praising Duterte for doing the exact same thing they are deathly afraid of their own governments doing. Sanctioned deathsquads out to enforce whatever law the government wishes.

As An American I don't know why I should hate this guy. From what I understand he's delivering hard justice to durg lords and human traffickers. I know he's an antigun, and that sucks but for the most part he seems to be doing a service to his country. Perhaps Obama shouldn't have condemned him for killing drug runners?

>>31595828
I'm not a drug dealer and the Philippines has had a Mexico tier problem with them? If the Mexican government did the same thing I would also praise them.

>>31595828
Those are the kind of dumbasses that put him in power

>>31595864
He's anti gun and pro commie.

A lot of Filipinos trash him for his foreign policy.

How can he say he gives all his support to vigilante (who do most of the work) if that's the case...

Yeah, I suppose all that Typhoon Aid, a military alliance since the 40's, saving them from Communism, and assisting their shitty anti-insurgency is dickhood. Jesus Christ.

Aside from giving pure justice to criminals /k/ knows litterally nothing about the guy.

>>31595911
>Aside from giving pure justice to criminals

Keep telling yourself that.

>>31595900
Philippine politicians are highly hypocritical. They want tight gun restriction but at the same time arm their goons with illegal weapons. Shit has been like that since the 1940s.

>>31595882
Is he really commie? Is his government taking over private industry and nationalizing it or attempting to enact communist dogma? I know he's siding with the Chinese but my guess is because there is no other global power to side with.

>>31595918

I guess all the narcos and human slavers killed were secretly democrats in cover.

>>31595864
He's also been instituting rather harsh gun laws, too. You know, so it's harder to oppose those government sanctioned deathsquads killing people they deem criminals.

Unless all those threads I see about people calling for an armed revolution in the US or planning how the respond to "gungrabber" deathsquads coming to seize their guns are just being totally ironic.

>>31595911
>pure justice
Would be respecting the institutions of law.

Killing someone out of suspicion is gangster justice.

>>31595936
The Chinese and he keeps trying to nationalize different industries.

And there are many other regional powers, but only one global power.

>>31595950
That's the thing, you see "Duerte's death squads only kill slavers and drug lords" and you believe it because it's exactly what you want to hear.

Regardless of every extrajudicial death squad in history overstepping the bounds of its original targets and simply becoming the largest government-sanctioned gang.

>>31595954

>Would be respecting the institutions of law.

Sadly the philipinas are like Mexico, far too deep in the shit pit for that option.

>>31595663
>practicing ad populum fallacies
no thank you

>>31595951
I already mentioned that. I'm pretty sure he isn't getting harsh condemnations from the media and foreign governments for his gun policy. I doubt the Philippines had awesome gun laws to begin with.

>>31595957

>only one global power.

Which is on a relative decline and have an awful reputation with its allies in the pacific now that it abandonned ukraine and didn't attack syria despite claims it would do if chemical weapons were used.

>>31595972

His death squads aren't even the majority of the vigilante killings taking place. But in all honesty, philipina is such a shit hole at that point I don't really see other solutions.

>>31595864
The problem with their entire government is the country is divided along family lines. Most of the constant conflict is related to feuds. A lot of the "criminals" he's purging at gunpoint are likely former political rivals and gangsters. This has been going on for decades but it's the first time they told us "fuck off" since MacArthur repatriated them from the Japanese. If we didn't have such a tight leash on the Japanese they'd be balls deep in the Philippines right now. China is taking advantage of that. Everybody knows this president has been largely defanged so they're showing their asses until January.

Duterte is literally an old style Filipino politician. He's nothing new.

He will say you should not keep firearms/stick to the already harsh restrictions since it's the totally-not-corrupt police's job, will seize weapons, burn them in huge stacks for publicity, while at the same time has some private army armed with weapons illegally bought off from Military surpluses. Not to mention supporting super-abritrary "Vigilantism," banish the fact that vigilantism itself is a crime in the Philippines.

Lol, our drug problem is overhyped by that promdi monkey.

>3 million drug users! Be scared!

>Drugs are a vice and there will be millions of them in any country no matter what you do. Hell one wonders how many from those who legalize it.
Meanwhile he lets big drug lords get away.

He's pissing off the US, he's doing something right.

>>31596140
Lel no. Its shit but it's home.

I'll be here. Duterte will only be there for 6 years. Or hopefully deposed before that. Looks like it anyway with the way he plans to handle the economy & foreign policy.

>>31593525
The Philippines doesn't have the power to be anything other than a vassal state. That is their reality. Choosing the ascendant power that is geographically closer, they do more business with, isn't dumping meth and heroin in their country [or criticizing them for icing the niggers dealing/using it], and is the central hub of global manufacturing just makes sense.

The US can't offer the Philippines anything but more drugs and niggers.

>>31596165
He will be staying unless the US plans a fucking coup.

>>31596189
>The US can't offer the Philippines anything but more drugs and niggers.
Most of the Drugs imports to the Philippines are from Triads in China/Mainland Southeast Asia.

We barely have any black people. A lot of Nigerians come, sure, but those guys are respectable. Who the hell migrates TO the Philippines anyway.

>>31593545

Literally a FUCKING KEK.

It's this kind of cuck who is against Duerte.

As a Flip Duterte is a fucking disaster.

Nonetheless not even his diehard shills will defend cozying up to China.

He's just repaying his campaign financiers.

He's been making rounds around every military camp in the country, bribing soldiers of Glock 30 pistols and stuff.

What are you, 12? Nigerians have been coming to the Philippines ever since Flips went to Nigeria to work in the oil industry there a few decades ago.

In the part of Nigerians, it's mostly students studying seamanship, jesus christ.

>>31598823
Any government official coming from Mindanao is corrupt as fuck. Duterte is not an exception.

Promdi politics has always been worse than Manila politics.

>As An American I don't know why I should hate this guy.
Because when you send out armed goons with license to kill any "drug dealers" they see, the definition of that term can, and often does, quickly morph into meaning "anyone who pisses me off, or has something I want".

>>31601035
> armed goons with license to kill
When you have a problem and its hard to control, people get desperate.

>Every filipino gubmint official is corrupt

I think its everywhere. When not-rich people get into power, they often times are motivated by selfish wants & desires.
Its why people like Bezos & Gates fund ideas. They got all the crazy jack to do what ever they want, so once that desire is satisfied they progress to more philanthropic goals. Its a big reason why I prefer Trump over Hillary.

>>31602204

6 years is long enough to cause 60 years of suffering. Get rid of him while you can.

>>31599001
You spelled Luzon wrong. Most of the problems and corruption the Philippines has been plagued with has been due to poor leadership from Manila.

>>31595828
>Hur dur evil blackman is going to take guns and send fed deathsquads with fema

It's just the lowest common denominator kind of people who seem to be slowly infecting /k/

>>31595864
You sound like you're smoking crack if the answer isn't obvious to you. Don't worry, Duterte will save your neighborhood by sending in death squads to kill you. No need to worry about pesky things like rule of law, innocent until proven guilty, or even actual proof itself.

Duterte shouldnt just kill the drug dealers, but also kill their families.

It is their fault, after all, for not being able to control their spouses/sons/daughters. If they are poor, they should sell themselves as slaves or something. But never ever deal with drugs. Duterte must establish this as a law of nature: Deal with drugs = instant death

Same would also solve the Mexico problem
