Philippines President Wants American Forces Out...

[paulitician]

Nice Job Mr. Duterte. Let's oblige. We don't belong there. Time to come home.


Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte said Monday he wanted U.S. Special Forces out of his country’s south and blamed America for inflaming Muslim insurgencies in the region, in his first public statement opposing the presence of U.S. troops.

When asked if he were trying to draw a cautionary tale for the American people, Earnest said, "I guess some people could draw that analogy."

Duterte’s relationship with the U.S. has been a bit rocky since he became president in June. Duterte has been openly critical of American security policies aimed to chart a foreign policy that would not depend on America, his country’s treaty ally...

As usual, Obozo's policies are to side with Muslim insurgents instead of supporting the majority of the people of the Philippines. Less than 4 months to go before we're rid of this piece of garbage.

It just seems we have our fingers in everyone's pie. Why is that? Maybe we should let the rest of the world solve their own problems, and concentrate on solving our own. We could start with reviving our economy, which has been in the doldrums since the crash of 2008. Obama has done NOTHING to revive our economy, he's not even trying.

I'm all for the U.S. minding it's own business... but I do wonder what Duterte will be saying when China comes a-knockin'

Calling Obama a son of a bitch probably isn't going to earn him any favors. Even if it's true.

 

[HenryBHough]

"Even if"?

Get real.

How about "when"?

 

[racialreality9]

How about Americans go home from everywhere?

Nobody wants your "protection" whitey. The world can get by fine without you.

Until you pay for your own defense and the bloated social welfare costs when the US pulls out.

What I'm amazed at is how this nutcase Philipino president is so spiteful, he'll hurt his own country. A military base is an economic boon. Soldiers get paid and spend their money locally. Contracts for building and maintenance are given to local companies, and often foreign aid is offered to compensate for the land lease and impact fees.

We should pull out because it's better for us. We can't take care of our veterans and we denied seniors a Social Security COLA adjustment, basically telling them they can't have their own money. But here we are paying billions for a global military presence.

But President Pygmy is an idiot.

Good. For my money all of our troops in foreign countries like Germany should come home.

The next time someone goosesteps across Europe they can take care of themselves as can the rest of them.

His problem with US Special Operations units in the south of his country is that they ARE NOT helping local military fight the Muslim rebels. They are trying to "assimilate" the region into peaceful coexistence. Typical Obozo BS.

He wants us out? We should oblige. We've been there far too long. And i'm actually all for disbanding NATO. It isn't a defensive organization. It's an aggressor. It wants more conflict.

They should just leave. 70yrs is enough. Time to come home.

The world isn't getting by fine, and they do in fact need whitey to help them. Its not like they are going to be helped by brown people. Apparently that just isn't in their wheelhouse.

Do you understand what and where you are responding to?

we closed our bases in the Philippines in the early 1990s. The economic impact has been huge and they just recently asked us to start calling there again. They have been struggling against Muslim separatists based out of Malaysia for decades and just recently asked for help. Sadly, the Rules of Engagement do not allow our Special Operations folks to effective help battle the effort.

It is starting to sound like China is buying the politicians in the Phillipines to give China more of a free run in the South China Sea.

You misspelled "Indonesia."

That's why the relationship is rocky, Obama is trying to screw Duterte over and wants to go back on our treaty with the Phillipines. Obama is the piece of shit in this scenario.
