Too late Holmes
Enjoy your new Chinese overloads.
The man is a sociopath.
Duterte got told about the Chinese spies in his government and Chinese plans to invade and annex the Philippines.
Someone must have showed him this actual intel that China plans to replace him after his mysterious demise.
Then I think about the Philippines.
Feeling weaker due to unmoving anti-Chinese public opinion, plus ongoing opposition from the Philippine military establishment. Also, the Chinese have not delivered on their various promises. Also, elections, and Duterte’s friends haven’t got his personal qualities and he is a lame duck. Also, he is not well, healthwise.
Duterte is the organ grinder while Lloyd Austin holds the tin cup. /spit.
I hope they’ll let us replace the tanks and pumps at Clark AFB, and then repave it.
It’s a STRATEGICALLY IMPORTANT FACILITY.
This was entirely predictable.
