We was just cool with that government just a few months ago.....China converted them boiiiis and their new leadership
MANILA, Philippines - After blasting the United States supposedly for interfering in his war on drugs, President Duterte yesterday said he wanted American troops out of Mindanao as he blamed Washington for the conflict and security threats in the south.
Duterte said US troops in Mindanao should leave as they are in danger of being kidnapped by the terrorist group Abu Sayyaf.
“The Special Forces, they have to go. They have to go in Mindanao. There are many whites there,” the President said during the oath taking of new appointees yesterday at Malacañang.
“If they see an American, they would kill him. They would demand ransom then kill him. Even if you’re a black or white American, as long as you are an American, (they will kill you),” he added.
Some US troops have been deployed in Zamboanga City to assist Philippine security forces in the campaign against terrorists. Since the Constitution prohibits foreign troops from engaging in direct combat operations, the US soldiers’ role is limited to assisting the local military through training and information sharing.
A ranking military official who declined to be named said less than 200 US soldiers have remained in Zamboanga City, and they were mainly involved in “technical assistance” to Filipino troops.
“The situation there (in Mindanao) will worsen. If they (Americans) are seen there, they will be killed,” Duterte said.
The President said it was a message he could not deliver during the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit in Laos last week, mainly out of respect for US President Barack Obama who was at the summit.
“I could not speak then out of respect and I do not want a rift with America. But they have to go,” the President said.
