Duterte told Americans to fuck off multiple times while he sold his country to China. Now it seems China is screwing Philippines so Duterte is changing his tune and trying to suck up to US and Russia.

Stop equating other supposedly "populist" leaders to Trump. Boris Johnson in UK is now turning out to be a disappointment. Scott Morrison in AU, while not as bad, is turning out to be spineless and letting aussies be kept under lockdown.

Trump is unique so far. Don't lump them together.

This ain’t the full story. Duterte likes Trump. But he can’t get the help Trump promises because of the bipartisan bullshit in the US. But he likes Trump a lot. And he is so much like Trump that he just wants what’s best for his country. He needed some weapons. The US said they’ll help but cannot deliver. He waited but it never happened. He understood that Trump is limited because of the stupid Congress we have. Russia on the other hand delivers so he welcomes them. And not sure what you’re talking about Duterte selling his soul to China... the Philippines and China are not friends. Believe me.
