After the 31st ASEAN Summit and related meetings, United States President Donald Trump announced Washingtons multi-billion donation for the programs of the Duterte administration.

In a statement released by the White House, the US government will donate an additional amount of USD14.3-million or almost P750-million in aid for the fast recovery and rehabilitation of the war-torn Marawi City and its 360,000 displaced residents.

Washington will also donate USD85-million for the counter terrorism-related equipment of the Philippines, training and support for its armed forces.

It will also give USD 2-million for the Duterte administrations campaign against illegal drugs.

It can be noted the anti-drug campaign of the Duterte Administration has drawn criticism from various sectors and international leaders because of the human rights abuses the Philippine authorities allegedly committed in the name of the drug war. UNTV News & Rescue

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.

No, I created this and that account back the last time I got warned in May or whenever. I was saving the other account for a rainy day. And it has nothing to do with me liking Trump, but instead to mock people who repeatedly claim I'm obsessed with Trump. I had logged into it to get karma and forgot I was on it (but lol at your stupid "guess"). Unlike Helly and Mead who use alts to hide their identity, all of my alts are openly me.

At any rate, thanks for ruining what would have been a fun surprise down the road.

Well, if you hate terrorists, nobody deals with them better than a dictator... Saddam Hussein wasn't a nice guy, but ISIS sure as shit wasn't going to happen on his watch. He'd be feeding them feet-first into plastic shredders and stuff (seriously, that's a thing his administration did).

Different computers. I have both laptops side by side and I'm flipping between them. Broken Zeus is also the account linked to my phone.

Frankly, if I took the time to log out of my devices so I'm only logged into one account across all devices at a time, that would take a depressingly long amount of time.

Man, I'm just glad I left that country before any of the really big stuff happened.

Fun fact, I was born and raised in Davao City, which is where Duterte got his start in politics by getting elected as the mayor there.

Not so fun fact, I think it was when I was around when I started high school that I learned about the infamous DDS (Davao Death Squads).

While the area I lived in was fine for the most part. There were other areas of the city that were absolute shitholes. They make 90's Detroit look like a freaking paradise in comparison.

Duterte got elected as Mayor by promising a thorough and "aggressive" approach in cleaning up the city. He was not lying.

Granted, I was in my "edgy" high school phase and didn't really bother paying attention to that stuff, so I don't really know how much damage and "cleanup" the DDS did back in those times. All I remember is thinking to myself "damn, he's doing some good work and those bad people deserve what's coming to them."

Now, you can't even recognize those areas anymore. They put up malls, hotels, housing communities, schools, all that stuff. No joke, Davao was ranked as one of the most dangerous cities in the Philippines when I was there, and when I left, it was ranked as one of the cleanest and safest. (Although, how much of that is propaganda by Duterte is hard to tell).

...

Don't really know what my point was when I was making this post. Just wanted to give you guys some perspective I guess?

While I condemn the use of the death penalty and hold an even greater dislike for extrajudicial killings, drug dealers are the scum of the earth and drugs have a heavily corrosive effect on society. I can easily imagine that, if an area was able to purge drug use, a lot of other crime would fall as well.

1) It has MMH in the sig...

2) I don't use it here anyway--precisely because people might get confused -- and, back when I did, I self-identified. And, more generally, I haven't even been bothering to log into it for karma.

But good memory, I guess?

Again, it's noted in the sig -- which I even specified in my post -- and I've never once concealed my identity on it. Otherwise, the account was made back in 2007 which is why it's not AAA Zeus or something. And, finally, I don't use it here anyway and I haven't used it in general in ages.
