No i think its japan that control bitcoins because they are good in technology. Japan is the most trusted IT expert in the world which creates crypto currency. According to bitcoin history it is Satoshi Nakamoto that creates bitcoin which is a Japanese Name. He is hiding because bitcoin is semi illegal.

We Westerners are going down and you Asians are coming up. Stop trying to please us. Do what you want.

His paradigm look what his statement nowm it is like step by step one is for cleansing and purging. Then two is for fixing the problem. And three is planting infrastracture and etc. And develop other sector. And lastly it is for harvesting. That is why filipino are so lucky to have this man. After all his controversial he will survive. I hope he will succeed in the future.

Just another high ranked member of this forum who obviously have no idea of what he is saying. Americans are only treating us good because of the resources that they get from our country. But they never promised that they will protect us when there's a war. Duterte chose China and Russia to avoid war and to improve our economy, not to become it's bitch. Just take a look at America's economy and you'll be shocked by the amount of debt that they have. SMH.

The oligarchs cannot understand the mentality of President Duterte he is "Probinsyano" he dont know about evil mindset of what is the oligarchs now they know what is the real attitude of Digong. This oligarchs is the one who is evil and not President Duterte. He is a very kind person. Because of bad mouthing why oligarchs hates digong. Ha ha.

President of the Philippines decided to cleanse our nation of this shit. And rightly so. It's time to do it.

US can't start a war over scarborough but they can start with jsut a hunch whether saddam has weapon - great analysis over there.

Do you know cause of his death? That girl is killed by vigilante killings. This person is drug syndicates. It is not the job of police to kill drug pusher without violent resistant. So do you get it now. Before you listen to the news try to verify it if its true or hoax. Some media hates duterte because he is frank.

Duterte had vowed to keep his "shoot-to-kill" order "until the last day of my term, if I'm still alive by then".

"I don't care about human rights, believe me," he said, according to official transcripts released by the presidential palace.

About 800 people have been killed since Duterte won a landslide election in May, according to reports by the local press, which has been tracking reports of extra-judicial killings.

Editors’ Note: The surge in the killing of suspected criminals since June 30, 2016, has been marked and unmistakable. Most of those killed were identified by the police as suspected drug dealers or pushers (“tulak”). This KILL LIST is an attempt to document the names and other particulars of the casualties in the Duterte administration’s war on crime; it will be updated every Monday and Thursday.

To date, the list includes at least 294 dead who remain unidentified and over 100 who are identified only by an alias; we are seeking other ways to verify identification.

Haha do you where did this started? You are idiot. The American is the one who started the fire. Duterte is just depending himself for the good of all filipino. Do not want to others what you do not want unto you. That his basic principles in life. You guys are too malice. Creating imagination which destroy the man's reputation.

Five-year-old Danica May became the youngest reported victim of the Philippine government’s abusive “war on drugs” on Tuesday.


The kindergarten student died from a gunshot wound to the head after an unidentified gunman opened fire on her grandfather, Maximo Garcia, as the family sat down to lunch. The attack came just three days after Garcia had registered with local police, who suspected his involvement in the drug trade. Garcia had said he wasn’t.

"...the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows of life; the sick, the needy and the handicapped. "

"The measure of a society is found in how they treat their weakest and most helpless citizens. As Americans, we are blessed with circumstances that protect our human rights and our religious freedom, but for many people around the world, deprivation and persecution have become a way of life."

"It is not severance of ties. When you say severance of ties, you cut diplomatic relations. I cannot do that," the Philippine leader told reporters at a midnight news conference in his southern home city of Davao.

"It's in the best interest of my countrymen to maintain that relationship."

If the US can chose a side between China and Philippines they should have done it but the cowards can't. And this isn't propaganda as you thought. US can't win vs China.

After hesitating for years, the United States has finally decided to openly challenge China in the West Philippine Sea, deploying destroyers into the 12 nautical miles radius of Chinese-occupied land features in the area.

Given the massive power asymmetry between China and its smaller neighbors, only the United States has the wherewithal to challenge Beijing’s unremitting quest for maritime dominance in East Asia. And to the delight of its Asian allies, particularly the Philippines and Japan, the Obama administration is finally drawing a line in the sand

Like never before, America is directly challenging China’s sovereignty claims in the area, even if this carries the risk of heightened Sino-American tensions ahead of the APEC and ASEAN summits next month, if not potential clashes between American and Chinese armed forces. No less than the future of the Asian order hangs in the balance.

Refusing to acknowledge China’s sovereignty claims over artificially-created islands in the area, the United States Navy’s (USN) guided-missile destroyer (USS Lassen) has pierced into the 12 nautical miles radius of Beijing-occupied land features on a regular basis

On paper, the United States professes neutrality on the sovereignty claims of competing claimant states in the South China Sea. But its recent decision to conduct freedom of navigations operations – deploying surveillance vessels and possibly even reconnaissance aircrafts – within the 12 nautical miles radius of China’s artificially-created islands represents a de facto rebuke of China’s territorial claims in the area.

How powerful is a US Navy carrier strike group compared to other navies?
I heard that a deployed CSG is more powerful than most (or maybe all) other countries entire navies. Is this true? How would one measure this?

The first thing to understand about U.S. aircraft carriers is that they are very big and very well defended.  They displace ~100,000 tons of water, making them the biggest warships ever constructed, and their four-acre decks hold dozens of multi-role fighters superior to anything operated by Russia/China’s air force or navy.  They typically are escorted by cruisers or destroyers carrying the Aegis combat system — the world’s most sophisticated air defense system — and nuclear-powered attack submarines.  Since the carriers themselves are nuclear-powered, they are always moving and unconstrained by logistical needs.

China, India are just beginning to play with carriers - they are in a developmental stage and not capable of on-demand performance for delivering strategic air power.
 
Given then that only the US, Russia and maybe France could deliver nuclear weapons via CSG then that answers the question, is a USN CSG more powerful than MOST other countries' entire navy and the answer is yes.

Given that the USN operational performance levels are probably higher than and we have 10 strategic carriers vs one for France and one for Russia, its also true that the USN CSG is at least as powerful as any other navy if not more so.

Just wait duterte is now getting money to have drug rehab center by state visit on several country all over the world. He is making this to have good economy, education and health for his country because he loves his country more than himself. This president is a fair person which want fair law all over the world.

A demagogue or rabble-rouser is a leader in a democracy who gains popularity by exploiting prejudice and ignorance among the common people, whipping up the passions of the crowd and shutting down reasoned deliberation. Demagogues have usually advocated immediate, violent action to address a national crisis while accusing moderate and thoughtful opponents of weakness or disloyalty. Demagogues violate established rules of political conduct; most who were elected to high office changed their democracy into some form of dictatorship.
