Discussion: Philippine President Announces Separation From US, Warms Up To China

I’m not understanding the why of this. Why is he saying and doing this now? What benefit does he get from this? It makes no sense to me.

The man is nuts and also guilty of countless crimes against humanity. Apparently he has some grudge against President Obama and decided blowing up the arbitration decision President Aquino fought so hard for was a means to kill two birds with one stone.

You’ll love it when you are eventually annexed by China.

Did he campaign this year on his desire to decouple from the US?

Probably foreign investment.

It sure makes no sense. The only thing I can think of is that he takes personal offense to the fact that POTUS has a problem with him killing people without trials.

It does make sense when you add in the Private plane provided by a Chinese “investor” directly to and for the Philippine President. (aka a bribe by the Chinese).
He is getting shitloads of money and “favors” from the Chinese and the people of the Philippines are oblivious to it.
FYI - I have relatives in the Philippines and close relations to several filipino’s here in the states.

“We remain rock solid in our commitment in the mutual defense treaty we have with the Philippines…”

Screw that. As Ms. Barbara Billingsly said, “Chump don’t want no help, chump don’t get no help.”
