Some retarded island's electorate voted for something really dumb. But enough about the UK.


This fellow


Is going to get couped some time in 2017-18 by his own military. Some will say the CIA is behind it. Maybe. Maybe not.

Folks are totally plotting this poo poo out right now, and its gonna go down like Turkey. Helicopters raining lead down in night time Manila. People on the street. Periscope videos etc.

The coup will likely throw the island country into disarray, the southern shittier islands will breakaway maybe I dunno.

OR Duterre will go all stalin-paranoid and start purging his military.

Or something. I really don't know.

Militaries typically like these strongman police state types just fine. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if a "moderate" faction of the military takes over and Washington quickly recognizes.

The coup is going down a few weeks after Duterre tells his generals they must have been high when they came up with some plan they present him

the Philippines is the most pro American country in the world, and the last coup in 89 was stopped thanks in large part to US air support

but as we saw with Erdogan a coup is really hard in the age of social media because no matter how many tv stations you seize the popular president can flood the street with supporters

He wished it could be as respectable and orthodox as spying. But somehow in his hands the traditional tools and attitudes were always employed toward mean ends: cloak for a laundry sack, dagger to peel potatoes, dossiers to fill up dead Sunday afternoons ...

More like a coup is really hard when it is actually an Erdogan false flag designed to earn him support and give cover for a destruction of the press and justice system

just lol if you think coups get tanks and troops on the streets but don't kill the leader first (even though they had him in range), take over only one news station, and then the president spontaneously gets on facetime and instructs the unarmed masses into the streets where they successfully stop the coup with people power and good vibes

E: this guy does the "are you making GBS threads me" act better than me, and of course all articles targeting and debunking it come from RT or Russian authors

Exactly. He's not getting coup'd with those numbers anytime soon. The first flashpoint will be when his term is up. If he tries to run again we'll see.

I don't think a coup is inevitable, he has too much public support

whatever filipinos think about the US, domestic policy trends to be more important than foreign policy, and rn a crazy number of filipinos are weirdly behind his extra judicial death squads, that are totes only gonna target drug dealers we promise

A coup, if it even happens, will probably fail

its really cool imo that someone can get elected on the policy of letting people murder drug dealers and basically nothing else in a country with 100m people and after murders start happening he has 90% approval

its just a shame he doesn't claim to be a communist while doing so
