Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has told President Barack Obama “you can go to hell” in his latest tirade against the U.S. over its criticism of his deadly anti-drug campaign.
He also lashed out anew at the European Union in a speech Tuesday saying the 28-nation bloc, which has also criticized his brutal crackdown, “better choose purgatory, hell is filled up.”
Duterte, who took office in June, has been hypersensitive to criticisms over his anti-drug fight, which has left more than an estimated 3,000 suspected drug dealers and pushers dead in just three months, alarming the United Nations, the E.U., the U.S. and human rights watchdogs.
Angered by the U.S. criticism, Duterte has declared he wants to reduce the presence of U.S. troops in the country.

Sherry says
And that’s EXACTLY where he’s gonna go…unless they kick him out.
Dan Berube says
So, an estimated 3000 drug dealers and assorted rif-raf are dead in the streets and the rest no-doubt of that ilk are hard to be found. A clean up was predicted and a clean up is now being enforced. It was what his countryman wanted and it is what he is giving them. There will be no loss felt in the Philippians for these garbage dealers of drugs and the community and the country at large will be better off without them. There is a saying that “A new broom sweeps the cleanest.” Congratulations to the new president of the Philippines and his new broom policies.

Take a look a the Daily Death tole related to Drugs, Directly or indirectly. The Chinese for example,, If you are caught with Drugs, the chances are,,, You are Dead. I’m talking serious drugs, the kind that take total control of ones Mind.
I have to take my hat off to President Rodrigo Duterte for taking a stand against the drug cartels of his Country. You can play the game but beware of the consequences,, DEATH.
Wake up America and follow his example.
Rob c says
The Philippines might be a good place to be an expat in a couple more years after the dust settles.
Sergio Pastor says
I support your initiative Mr. Rodrigo Duterte, The President of the Philippines and no foreign country should interfere in your efforts to eradicate drug dealers from your country. As I see clean your country of killers of children. You have cojones and that I admire on a man.
Irvan Johnson says
I just learned a new name for BALLS!
Paul says
I’m for a write-in campaign to put President Duterte on the US presidential ballot in November. Sounds like he’s a true ‘git r done’ guy.
Ray says
The loony liberals and so-called ‘watchdog’ nitwits worry about 3,000 drug dealers, but not the tens of thousands of people around the world who die each month from their poison! That tells you a bit about the state of the world. To me, anyone who deals in that poison deserves to die before they kill many, many more. I’m looking for a place to hang my hat on retirement … maybe the Philippine’s will soon be the place to settle down. Duterte is my kind of guy!
william says
This president is just the right person for P.I. We need a guy just like him here in the U.S. I believe we have one in the locker room waiting to be crowd president of the U.S.A. Go Trump.
hash william says
The president of the P.I. is just the kind on man that the U.S.A. needs in power. I believe that we have one in waiting to be elected this Nov 8, 2016. Donald Trump is just that man. TRUMP FOR USA IN 2016.
HASH says
Keep up the good work Mr. President of the P.I. The world needs leader like you. Dugs kill more the any wars kill. The U.S. President needs big balls like you have. But he is just to racist against whites here in America. Just think it was the other way around not to long ago Funny how the world changes.
Clara says
Go for it TRUMP – knock the pants off Hil-Liary on the next debate (Hillary Rotten Clinton). She and the media are just going to get worse before Nov. 8.
We have been told that TRUMP is chosen by GOD to be the next president and we all know that GOD doesn’t lie.
Vicki says
All of the above are correct. Congratulations to the citizens of the Philippines. You’ve got a good leader. Now if we can get one here again.

Our National Debt is drowning America if that isn’t enough America has lost World Reserve Currency Status on September 30th of this year to China. Very shortly we will see the Demise of the Dollar altogether and all Hell Break Loose in this Country. Get ready Folk’s we are about to become a Third World Nation all because we decided to give up Honoring Almighty God and decided to Worship at the House of Politics. You Reap What You Sow. Who ever Win’s in November will be left with a Country that will cease to exist as we know it . Death and Destruction awaits America no one will escape!!
Dennis Crawford says
I very strongly believe that Mr. Obama and Hillary are guilty of TREASON and should be tried for same along with “Billary” & “Michelle” !!!!!!!
