A picture says a thousand words, he'll revolutionize the economics of America, clean out the swamp of Washington, and make it a government of for and by the people again

Words aren't actions mate. I might consider him a better choice than Hillary, but until he starts putting in the work, and laying out the foundations, i still consider him just another politician. Just a bit newer to the game, and a lot less stained, than Hillary. i trust you remember the hype barack obama brought with him? generating hype, and making promises is not the hardest part of the job. coming through with said promises is. and that'll take more effort than just trump's own actions to pull through.

 

 

...I am going to be completely honest here. I simultaneously admire and am terrified of this man. No wonder he's called the Trump of the East. Makes you wonder how the actual Trump might turn out.

As for duterte, that man's not the trump of the east. that's just people making the comparison to garner fear of somebody they don't want to win. that's how the race is done every time; find the worst people in the public eye that you can, put the people you don't want to win next to them, and let fear do the rest of the work for you. in fact frank, i believe you yourself know something of that strategy.

Actions are not without consequences. Cutting ties with the U.S. results in consequences that should have been overseen. I guess Duterte didn't realize it beforehand. Nonetheless he managed to create a bit of ire by suggesting Russia to supply them. The Philippines have created a demand for weapons so I suppose an industry could develop there for it. Not too much of a setback.

I imagine a lot of them don't have anything but the drug trade. Little to no formal education, a criminal record and attitude preventing them from getting most employeement, and a lack of connection or ambition outside of the street work. Potentially even a family to look after, and any legit job won't pay enough to do that. Most of them probably expect to die by 25 anyway.

 

Why would you surrender in that situation, when you have no chance and no hope? Many would rather go out guns blazing, or keep dealing till there last day because at least that way they are actually earning a decent living.

 

The War on Drugs is the kind of thing where you both need to want to get out, and you need a funk tonne of luck to actually do so. Because it's a perpetual trap. You can't break it with sheer force in a positive fashion.

duterte is on the worst possible route. the flaw, again, is his refusal to improve the system past surrender. he cannot sustain his system unless he puts more effort into education and rehabilitation. the man's already put the system into place, it's not the smoothest, or most moral system, but it has so much room for improvement that i cannot understand why he refuses to grease the gears even a little. hopefully, if trump really does manage to keep duterte's ear, hopefully he'll get it into his head that improving the return to society would seal the clearly or just the clearest gaping hole in his system.

He's doing it I think. The man was a super popular mayor. I don't think he's ignorant enough to not see the bottleneck that will happen when the warfare is over, and he has close to a million people who surrendered and then need treatment

well... didn't think anybody from china would lend a hand, but it's a good start. if he can keep that up, and probably find some funds, he will help sove unemployment, reduce the amount of repeat offenders (nonlethally) and hopefully follow through with better education. smarter people would be a great boon to the country, and after what he's done, he his to give the people something non-drug related to praise, and education would be the best thing for that.

China lost a generation to opium 

 

I'm honestly shocked, and disappointed, that India hasn't offered to help given how bad the opium crisis was in the North during my great-grandparent's time

 

But yeah, China has experiences the worse of this. Jobs man, education and jobs would keep people off the street. He should honestly follow the lead of President Trump with the inner city clean up program

forgot about china getting pretty much bodied by the drug trade, yeah, i get the sympathy now. india's already got it's hands full dealing with it's own problems currentl, population density and all the fun that comes with it. 

 

if china (or at least the chinese population as a whole) allies with duterte, and duterte and trump end up on good terms by the end of the presidency, i can see a strong bridge being built between the three nations. this might actually be a great step forwards for the Philippines, and it wouldn't be too bad of a hop for america and china if they bond a bit better while helping heal the phillipines.

 

 

I swear, if duterte does manage to provide extensive reconstruction programs, and educational systems while helping bond two superpowers i will make some form of artistic monument glorifying him as the dark god of reformation.
