Philippines President Duterte dialed the crazy up a notch as he used Hitler as an inspiration for his goal to kill 3 million drug addicts. Pay attention Trump supporters; this is what happens when you elect an unbalanced and dangerous candidate. Hopefully this is the step over the line that gets Duterte arrested.
I think the man is evil, but his approach to the problem might work. You do know that the addicts are perfectly free to get help? If they don't want help and to free themselves, then it is really a suicide call on their part.
Here comes the American propaganda to stain a country. They were all OK when bending over to America. All the sudden I read all this bad things about this certain country.
Every time I see his name I think of Joe Deer-tay. Joe Dirt would probably have more self control than this guy though. - - - Updated - - - Hey Rehn, are you from Moldova?
His concern is to get rid of the drug cartel that makes a fortune by destroying the lives of others. They encourage criminality since the addicts can't afford the drugs, and have to steal to pay for them. As for booze and tobacco, there is no cartel as far as I know. There is another way though, (although the Philippines is a poor country so it might not be as effective), and that is to give the addicts prescriptions so they can acquire the drugs at a low cost. Once the cartel ceases to make money, then there won't be a reason for them to encourage more addiction.
Arrested for exactly what? It appears that you don't know what the figurative speech is. By the way, there are no 3 million addicts in the Philippines. If I were you I wouldnt worry about Duterte. I would worry more about Clintons democrats. Bills administration was responsible for the death of 500,000 Iraqi children and the very person who served under him as the secretary of state thought it was worth it. And Joe Biden going around the world causing chaos and death. Both Duterte and Trump are schoolboys compared to war criminals from the Democrat party.

He's not going to get arrested, because he is the only hope for people whose lives have been made miserable and fearful because of drugs.
It's not American propaganda, it's Duterte's own words. - - - Updated - - - You on the wrong thread? Go do your Hillary rants somewhere else.
How am I on the wrong thread? I just want you to get some perspective instead of ranting against the legitimate president of the sovereign country. The guys you support are certified war criminals. That tells a lot about your character. You rant about Duterte who uses figure of speech to talk about drug addicts but you're perfectly all right with people who actually are responsible for death over 500,000 children. Get some perspective.
Yes let this be a lesson. Let Cankles get into the white house and she'll continue her policies of killing people all over the world. - - - Updated - - - Which is more evil: killing drug cartels, or selling them guns? They could call it Fast and Furious 2: Faster Than Ever
That is the American way of thinking. When you present all the facts, they focus on the dots. They have absolutely no problem with Saudi regime, but if the same Saudi regime would favour Russia or China, it would all the sudden be painted as the devil.... They just cannot see their wrongdoings. They see other small idiots blabbering as a threat, while in the same time they are dropping bombs on others. I guess the bombs US uses is to spread love and peace.
I think he should give them all the drugs they want, gratis. Conversely, anyone who wants 'out' of the drugs scene should, upon application, be given intensive support and advice.
` ` These pc democrats are the quintessential examples of pure hypocrisy. Item: They say absolutely nothing while Saudi Arabia forces are massacring thousands of innocent Yemeni citizens. Item: They say nothing while Obama's war in Syria over a oil pipeline for his corporate buddies has caused tens of thousands to die and suffer. Item: They say nothing while Obama's assassination drone wars keep killing even more innocent civilians.....and then have to gall to criticize Rodrigo Duterte (whose methods are barbaric) but was elected by over 85% of the population and operates with the approval of those citizens. What small, insignificant people.
Meanwhile NOBODY understands that a. there aren't even close to 3 million addicts in the Phillipines b. Phillipine "politics" is pretty much a gang war. Rivals hunt and kill each other like animals with NO law enforcement involved c. Duarte is using drugs to justify a holocaust of anyone who disagrees with him on anything What is WRONG with conservatives, are you people INCAPABLE of seeing even the most BLATANT propaganda and deception if someone says the right buzzwords?, Uh...you're all for Trump...uhmmm........never mind
Actually what's wrong with you? A liberal, fanatical Clinton supporter started a thread bashing the president of the sovereign country for using a figurative speech. At the same time you don't have a problem with the criminal Clinton clan. During Bill's reign 500,000 children died in Iraq. He was directly responsible for their deaths. Get some perspective.
This the same guy who called Obama "son of a whore"? The guy who says he'll make the Philippines withdraw from the UN? yeah, seems like a nice guy, this duterte. Back in the good old days, insulting presidents like that carried a real risk of having your palace destroyed and your country colonised.
I can see it now. If the imbeciles here are dumb enough to elect Hillary, we will invade the Philippines and take out Duterte. Then comes the white privilege checking of Vladimir Putin.
There's already a SE Asian nation that executes drug traffickers and has for decades............Singapore(generally regarded as one of the cleanest and safest cities in the world with a booming economy). You should educate yourself. Singapore also executes many drug users. There's been a reality going on in that part of the world for a long time. Of course you don't know about it. Glad I could help.
