as for the thousands killed in Duterte’s “drug wars”: well, we can now walk the streets safely. And some of those killed were paid murders by families who could not get justice through the court system that is slow and vulnerable to bribes and witnesses vulnerable to threats.
And of course, the libs making that claim didn't notice when druggies killed in home invasion robberies, or when druggies high on meth got angry and threatened or killed their loved ones...not to mention the homes wrecked and those who died of overdoses or strokes from taking shabu (the most popular drug here is shabu, aka meth).
As for me, I wish great progress for the people of that fine ally. I have had solid friends of fifty years from that brother nation and found that when I spent 9 years in Phoenix, AZ two of the the first buddies my wife and I both made were of that heritage.
