Default Duterte threatens to ‘burn down’ UN building in America

I'm really starting to like this guy!

https://www.rt.com/news/371597-phili...terte-burn-un/

Quote:
Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has threatened to “burn down” the United Nations headquarters in New York, in response to mounting international criticism over his bloody crackdown on suspected drug dealers.
“You go and file a complaint in the United Nations, I will burn down the United Nations if you want,” Duterte said, as quoted by the New York Times.

“I will burn it down if I go to America,” he added, while speaking at an army base in the country's southern city of Zamboanga.

“You UN officials, sitting there on your asses, we pay you your salaries. You idiot, do not tell me what to do... Who gave you the right?” he said, according to Reuters.
Succinct and correct assesment of the UN there.

Torching the UN HQ would lift a huge burden off the shoulder of the American taxpayer. DO IT!

I respect being tough on crime but it seems little kids are being killed even .
In the article it mentions that he has personally killed people while Mayor and that he enjoys it .

“In Davao I used to do it personally. Just to show to the guys [the police] that if I can do it, why can't you,” Duterte said, as quoted by AFP.

He added that he would “go around in Davao with a motorcycle, with a big bike around, and I would just patrol the streets, looking for trouble also. I was really looking for a confrontation so I could kill.”

When the cops are aligned with the crooks vigilantism is an attractive option.

You really like this guy?

A violent thug who claims that "China, Russia and his country, against the whole world?"

wow

"I've realigned myself in your ideological flow and maybe I will also go to Russia to talk to (President Vladimir) Putin and tell him that there are three of us against the world - China, Philippines and Russia. It's the only way," Duterte told his Beijing audience.

A thug who acted like he is a Navy SEAL by bragging about killing criminals personally? No, thank you. He is only interested in one thing and one thing only, MONEY.

He wanted to burn down the UN building? and he aint a terrorist wannabe? LOL You don't have to be a president Obama fan, but seriously, let's not lose focus here.
