Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte isn’t messing around this week.
Then again, he’s rarely messing around, period. A few days ago, Duterte made headlines for a comment he made to his nation’s police. His nation has a well-known drug trafficking problem that the police have struggled to control. So in a speech to law enforcement, Duterte said to “kill the idiots” who resist arrest.
But drugs aren’t the only problem facing the Filipino people. Though you may not hear about it often, the country also has a serious issue with radical Islamic extremism.
In order to fight the terrorists on the ground, this week, Duterte issued orders that would be widely condemned in the West.
They also make quite a bit of sense.
See what exactly he gave his military the authority to do on the next page:
DO IT!
Take a lesson USA
THERE ARE A LOT OF RADICAL MUSLIMS IN THE PHILIPPINES .!!! THEY RUN A REGULAR TERRORIST ORG. THERE. MORE POWER TO HIM.!!!! KILL THEM ALL AND LET ALLAH SORT IT OUT.!!!!
Make sure I am not in you$#%&!@*ole .
That’s what happens when they hate and kill other people
Excellent
Root them out, blow them up.
Do it quick and do it thoroughly. Leave none intact.
Set a precedent for the “soft” Western leaders to follow. President Duterte may not be popular with the way he goes about it, but he knows how to provide for the security of his people. That’s more then I can say for this country.
If they are threatening the citizens, what choice does he have? He could give them free housing to see if they will be nice, but how is that working?
