More of this will happen if the west doesn’t support Philippines or Ukraine Enough

Philippines is a shithole that willingly elected the fascist Duterte as their president, they deserve no support.

Your taking about people from over 7000 islands as if it's one entity.

Electing a fascist is rich America's privilege, no? I'm speaking of trump just to make that perfectly clear.

As bad as Trump is, he isn't championing and encouraging extrajudicial killings (at least not yet) like Duterte. That is however something your average Filipino voters were drawn to and supported with thunderous applause.

His lawyers are literally advocating that he should be able to have political opponents killed what the hell are you talking about?

He IS praising Duterte for it, though. As you implied yourself, Trump getting back in the white house will guarantee extrajudicial killings. Probably as a matter of stated policy rather than just something cops aren't discouraged from.

The country fell for the rhetoric of a demagogue. The US, Russia, Hungary, India, Israel, Belarus, and Japan all elected a fascist demagogue as their leader within the last 10 years.

I'm sure you consider some of those shithole countries but would you say that they all are, or do you admit that a country's demagogue leader isn't 1/1 indicative of the country as a whole?
