Duterte: America, not Middle East, responsible for 'importing terrorism'

[cloneman]

I like this Pinoy,he's an honest man.It seems this guy has balls and doesn't lick the yanks.

 

[Zero_wing]

He maybe right,

Not so much i have to admit most of his domestic policy is right on the money but the rest like foreign policy and defense policy he does not know anything

Wow Pinoy president nicely trolling US .



I don't concur with you



if you said so



On Chinese perspective, he's great president, don't you think?

He knows nothing

 

[Mangus Ortus Novem]

Wow... this level of outspokenness... is it wise for this president to criticise the US like this? If he is not careful he might be sleeping with the fishes soon.

Best thing for Philppines is find a diplomatic solution with China and not be used as front man in SCS. When great powers collide little ones are smashed first.

It might be noble to speak the truth... but it is wiser still to act cautiously. Let us see how long this president last in Philppines.

 

[Max]

he should mind his own bussiness and should focus on better relationship with China instead of ruining one with US..

Contrary to the prejudice that predominantly-Muslim countries in the Middle East are spreading terrorism, President Rodrigo Duterte accused the United States of "importing terrorism."

"It is not that the Middle East is exporting terrorism in America. America imported terrorism," Duterte said told an audience of Muslim Filipinos on Friday during the Mindanao Hariraya Eid'l Fit'r 2016 in Davao City.

He said that the US introduced war to Iraq by toppling the government of former President Saddam Hussein in 2003, and that the terrorism is a result of Iraqi people being "pushed to the wall."

"They forced their way into Iraq and killed Saddam. Look at Iraq now. Look what happened to Libya. Look what happened to Syria. Nauubos ang tao dun, pati bata," Duterte said.

"Because they were pushed to the wall for the failed promises," he added.

He said that despite Hussein's dictatorship, he was in firm control of Iraq.

Results of a thorough investigation showed that there was no reason to go to war, he added, citing a report he heard over BBC.

"After a thorough, almost 10 years investigation, it turns out there was not legal basis to declare war against Iraq... it's such a useless war," Duterte said.

Duterte likened the Middle East crisis to the violence in Mindanao.

He said that the Philippines was at peace until voyagers led by Ferdinand Magellan introduced Christianity to the nation in 1521.

"Over decades, by force naging Christians ang mga Malay brother natin (by force our Malay brothers became Christian) because of colonialism," Duterte said. —JST, GMA News

Indeed a wise president, say the truth but such words against American interest in SCS.

Man the chinese are so full of themselves

 

[AndrewJin]

He is so speaking the truth, resonating with the recent Chilcot Inquiry.
US and its white puppets and non-white puppets bring our Muslim friends indefinite chaos and brutality.
They make the region even worse than under those so-called tyrants.
And they forget to wipe their a** when they try to leave.
Democracy is really demoncrazy in all developing countries.

 

[barbarosa]

100% RIGHT.

The Chinese development model has demonstrated that there is another way. Vietnam has copied this model with help of CPC and look at their economic growth. Pak must learn form their Chinese friends...

In fact this might be only practical solution for Pak to get its economic growth and develop getting started.

Looks like the Philippines is heading on the same path as Venezuela. Chavez + Maduro = The End.

The whole world has come to that conclusion, but it is not easy to confront a country which calls the shots on the world stage. The US is also behaving erratically at home and the ill treatment meted out to its own minority communities isn't very exemplary.

Didn't China also exported terrorism; they had a rather fancy name for it - Maoist People's War.
