We could use someone like him for President - Rodrigo Duterte

For thos who compare Donald Trump to Adolph Hitler, this guy would make their poor pointy heads explode - I love the guy. From Zero Hedge:

"Who Is He To Confront Me?" - Philippines President Unloads On "Son Of A Bitch" Barack Obama
What was an embarrassing weekend for president Barack Obama, whose arrival at the G-20 summit in China was a case study in diplomatic humiliation, just turned even worse when on Monday, Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte warned the US president not to question him about extrajudicial killings, or "son of a bitch I will swear at you" when the two presidents meet at a summit in Laos in the coming days.

The topic of Duterte's killing spree, supposedly involving mostly criminals and drug-traffickers, without due process has raised eyebrows most recently by the United Nations, which urged the Philippines to stop executing and killing people linked to drug business and threatened that “state actors” could be punished. As a result, two weeks ago Duterte lashed out at the UN and threatened that the country could leave the UN. "Maybe we'll just have to decide to separate from the United Nations. If you're that rude, son of a bitch, we'll just leave you," Duterte told reporters in Davao, quoted by Bloomberg. “I don't give a shit about them,” he added. “They are the ones interfering. You do not just go out and give a shitting statement against a country.”

Fast forward to today when the outspoken president lobbed a preemptive warning at Obama, and before flying to Laos where the two heads of state are set to meet, said that he is a leader of a sovereign country and is answerable only to the Filipino people. He was answering a reporter's question about how he intends to explain the extrajudicial killings to Obama. More than 2,000 suspected drug pushers and users have been killed since Duterte launched a war on drugs after taking office on June 30.

In his typical foul-mouthed style, Duterte was quoted by AP as responding: "Who does he think he is? I am no American puppet. I am the president of a sovereign country and I am not answerable to anyone except the Filipino people, nobody but nobody. You must be respectful. Do not just throw questions. Son of a bitch I will swear at you in that forum," he said.

I love it - his constituents gave him a job to do and he is doing it. The world is much better off if a strong message is sent to people who willingly manufacture and transport drugs for human consumption. I have zero problems with drugs for personal use or the formation of a buyers club but this wholesale trafficking in narcotics is evil personified. Most of the drug money is used to fund terrorism from Afghanistan through the far East and South America.

Being politically incorrect and telling the United Nations where to stuff it is a good thing in my book.
