Sweet so now taxpayers are funding a corrupt warlord across the globe so he can continue to have political rivals and any undesirable social groups killed in the streets without trial
Doesn't America feel great again
More like the status quo. Granted, we were really big into it when America was truly outstanding. Otherwise, I don't want people buying into misinformation Mead's exaggerations. PRESIDENT Duterte is an elected leader, not a dictator. The charges of eliminating undesirables refers to his lackluster response to vigilante groups executing drug dealers and other criminals in a country where crime is pretty rampant. Honestly, if civilians went gangbusters like that in Mexico -- which I'm not advocating, but speaking in pragmatic terms -- we probably wouldn't have issues with cartels.
