President Duterte only wants to make peace in the world because he knows that world war 3 is coming. So he decided to forcely repel. You know to deceived the evil mindset of the people you need to lure. Keep your friends close and your enemy closer. But at the end of the Duterte keep always intact integrity to the republic of the philippines.
Thats what I am also thinking. He is keeping China closer while being close to US at the same time. But I would rather nuy arms from Russia compared to China but we dont know whats his plans. If he engaged with China, hope he will not give in to Chinas demands.
Weapons are a stupid unnecessary expense... specially when the potential adversary is china (if it should sadly come to that, lost opportunity for smart resolution) or medling from the occupied USA to foment troubles, war, deaths and destructions...
So when are the us occupation (&destabilization) forces leaving? Already packed? They are like gmo seeds, if no invited to leave they will stay forever
.
Restaure The USA first... then comeback. It's for your own good!
