World NewsNow would be an amazing time to take a deep dive into the domestic politics of the Philippines and how the prior President's trial for crimes against humanity is going.
Duterte, who governed the Philippines from 2016 to 2022, was surrendered to the ICC in March last year over his sweeping anti-narcotics crackdown that Philippine police acknowledged killed more than 6,000 suspects, though rights groups put the true toll as high as 30,000.
At pre-trial hearings that began in February, Duterte was accused of three counts of crimes against humanity – covering murder and, in one count, attempted murder – as “an indirect co-perpetrator” who had conspired with police to kill drug war victims.
Prosecutors pointed to the notorious Davao Death Squad – a shadowy group long accused of carrying out extrajudicial killings in Duterte’s southern home city – saying he had “personally selected some of the targets” as mayor and later as president, and had told police whom to take out, with cash rewards as incentives.
Among the atrocities he was accused of was encouraging officers not to spare even children.
Oh well, anyway. Try not to think to hard about the parallels between The Philippines and Israel.
The fuck does this have to do with the Philippines and allies doing drills?
Trying to suggest that the Philippines is even remotely similar to Israel is hilarious though... considering their president is in ICC custody and is standing trial vs bibi who is still acting like a nazi and murdering Palestinians.
You just don't like this because it's showing force towards china...who has been a complete bully to the Philippines for a while now.
bibi who is still acting like a nazi
Is this not you acting like it's outrageous to suggest a Zionist president can possibly have Nazis in his country?

Russia has nazis in its ranks and actively works with them.
I've already explained Azov.
But you tankies are to dumb to understand it because you will lick the boots of anything red.
I have not once defended Russia... You keep calling me a tankie because I criticized zelenski. You're not a boot licker, you can't lick it when it's that far down your throat.
