According to Amber Lyon, a three-time Emmy award winning journalist, CNN is routinely paid by the US government and foreign governments to selectively report on certain events and make up fake news stories.
We need to drop idealism and return to realism in foreign policy. That means dealing with all kinds of people and not making human rights a priority.
I don't entirely disagree. Depends on the extent or potential consequences.
That is why I leave Duterte to God. Some people of the sword may justly meet their end by other people of the sword even if those other people of the sword be Filipino cops with a Presidential mandate handed down to them to clean up the streets by any means necessary. Gangsters certainly don't care about human rights violations.
Sometimes when fighting the Chicagoans in Chicago you have to fight the Chicago Way.
But if he's (Duterte) executing some skinny, ragged dressed, hungry, impoverished, shunned, tragic drug addict not really hurting anyone as much as he is hurting himself, then he crosses a line, against the Boss of all Bosses. You start tough guying against "the least," against the transsexual or skinny drug addict not bothering people on the street, then you will have to answer to the Boss of all Bosses. And you're not going to be sticking your chest out, strutting around all brash when He's dressing you down. God's power is immense, to whom every President and King is but a drop in a bucket.
Trump has invited this man to the White House. Strongmen respect Strongmen.

Because when it comes to murdering thousands of innocents when no ones rights have been violated, that's our job.
Documents detailing a special operations campaign in northeastern Afghanistan, Operation Haymaker, show that between January 2012 and February 2013, U.S. special operations airstrikes killed more than 200 people. Of those, only 35 were the intended targets. During one five-month period of the operation, according to the documents, nearly 90 percent of the people killed in airstrikes were not the intended targets.
