:mjlol: So you being foolish then....I'm asking a legitimate question:yeshrug:..do you not realize what an embarrassment Syria has been for Washington ? or that Drug Profits are SOLEY meant to prop up the US Corporation that is and has been bankrupt for the last 80 years ?
You're not talking about the same thing as I am. Keep you're thoughts coherent, friend.

Although, now I realize you're own of those people from the bolded. Keep typing BONDS in capital letters like you know something others don't:salute:

He is smart, he wants peace. He knows that if the Philippines did not have much of a terror problem, it will soon when there are enough American troops running around blowing shyt up and killing civilians.

If this goes on too long the extreme wing will take over the Muslim rebel movements in the south.

if you want peace keep US troops away. if you want to introduce terror into a country that did not have it, you will have it as soon as there are enough US soldiers running around.

If i were China i'd tread very carefully around Duterte - he's clearly unhinged, says one thing to one person, another thing to another person and insults left and right. You can never be sure that he means what he means and will uphold what you sign.

But on the other hand this opportunity can not be ignored though it shouldnt be grabbed enthusiastically either. Whoever follows Duterte in 6 years is not going to be a big fan of him or the things he signed in the past so China would need to keep future relations in mind. Slightly increasing trade and development and freezing the island conflict with PH should not be that hard and is easy for Duterte to sell locally as a success securing his political position domestically and showing to the sceptical population that China can be reasoned with and traded with.

China should not go all in on Duterte and ask for the islands or military bases or whatever - the successor wont like that and throw away any treaty, instead by playing carefully China can show to the neighbors and the future PH leadership that they mean business without apearing greedy.

There's enough opportunities for both sides to profit if they play it smart enough. If.
