Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte railed against the United Nations on Sunday after it called for an end to the wave of killings unleashed by his war on drugs, saying he might leave the organization and invite China and others to form a new one.
Two U.N. human rights experts last week urged Manila to stop the extra-judicial executions and killings that have escalated since Duterte won the presidency on a promise to wipe out drugs.
About 900 suspected drug traffickers have been killed since he came to power after winning the election on May 9.

We were supposedly fighting to defeat Communism.
The French told us THEY couldn’t fight the Indochina War - but we convinced (and paid and armed) them to do so. We never learned the most basic lesson from their war: The Vietnamese wanted independence regardless of political labels.

He was always a lefty and even had a budding Commie as his veep until the last election when he realized his veep could hurt his reelection, so he changed a pro Commie for a haberdasher.
We “fought” the Cold War so don’t say we never fought the USSR. We won, as I recall. The USSR exists no more.
The USSR is gone but being cobbled back together, while we have a communist president. This isn’t 1989 anymore...
Few believed what 1989 would bring. 2016 is going to bring back Freedom with Trump, regardless of what the CommieDems try to do.!
We’ll see how this works out; Obama’s 2012 re-election despite constant failures, and the fact that Hillary is even in this race, are bad omens for the future of this country (and indicators of massive communist support).
I do not allow negative thinking to control me. We will bring back America with Trump!
