U.S special forces need to leave mindano

WTF? and we are expected to believe this

 

This is disturbing. Does anyone else get the feeling this is similar to his warnings against drug dealers during his election campaign? Will these groups take this as a signal and step up efforts to kill Americans?

And this follows the "son of a b*tch" comment to the American president.

 

Frankly, the SF have needed to leave for a long time because if they have not passed on the knowledge that the army needs by now, they are never going to learn. If the enemy will not surrender you must pursue them until they are destroyed. Dispersing them is worse than anything else and that is what is happening now.

 

I am starting to get a bad feeling about what is being said by the new administration when it comes to foreigners. I was stationed at Subic from 83 - 86 when the anti American riots took place after Marcos was ousted we were all targets. Living in Olongapo City at the time with no personal protection, hiding in my house until I could be smuggled onto the base is a scenario I do not want to relive. Pay close attention to your situation and the public rhetoric. Things can change very rapidly in this country.

 

Funny thing, you support Marcos you are the bad guy, you don't support Duterte who people are trying to say is the the new Marcos, you are the bad guy. Comical. The US never does seem to get it right.

Duterte is saying the SF need to leave and I'm ok with that. I haven't heard anyone say that expats need to leave and presumably take their money with them. If it makes you feel better wear a British, Canadian, Australian, German, French and so on T-shirt while you are out and about. Don't worry about speaking English as it's long been the lingua franca in the melting pot.

 

I can't see anywhere stevehigg says he support Marcos, and pretty sure filippino see no difference, if you are american, german or french, all white western are same in their eyes. I have had a good life here, wish I don't need move, but make my resarch, where to move,
if situation change in bad direction, wanna live in country with friendly people, like last 6 years here in Philippines

 

I will try to better explain myself. I am not a Marcos supporter, I just happened to be here during his ouster. Filipinos who had previously been friendly to foreigners suddenly turned angry and violent towards foreigners. Why? Partly because the USA flew the Marcos's out of the country and partly because of underlying issues with foreigners that had to be suppressed up to that point when the people and the country was set free to lash out. The people were encouraged to vent their anger by the new ruling class of politicians.
Duterte has the ability to say very inflammatory things. He says very regularly that the Philippines is not the Imperialist Colony of the USA nor are they it's puppet. With 8 years total experience in living in the Philippines I have witnessed how quickly Pinoys can get violent.
I truly hope that my worries are absolutely wrong and Foreigners are not demonized by the new government. I am just suggesting that from my experience it is a possibility and if it happens it will happen very quickly from crass remarks and small harassment to violence.

 

When Duterte made his SONA he talked about starting peace talks with the MNLF and he said the MNLF wanted the U.S. out of Mindanao before they would sit down. It may have been out of the Philippines but I think it was only Mindanao.
Duterte has never been clear who are the foreigners, it could be the Chinese or it could be us?
