Now 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.

[-] 3abas@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

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.

You're literally repeating russian propaganda... it's why you linked the other thread that had you spewing more russian propaganda and acting like Ukraine is run by nazis and Zelenskyy is somehow a piece of shit for being Jewish. So yea...go back to .ml or hexbear where you can spout that shit and get a bunch of other users agreeing with you.

You're clearly lying.

you spewing more russian propaganda and acting like Ukraine is run by nazis

I didn't claim Ukraine was run by Nazis, I said it does have Nazis and a far right problem. I shared an American liberal media article to cite that explicitly so I don't share Russian progranda. Then when you dismissed Ukraine's Nazi collaboration history I posted a Jewish Holocaust history encyclopedia referencing Ukraine's collaboration with the Nazis and the fact that Ukraine was a major killing ground where over 1.6 million Jews were exterminated.

You then threw out a "what about Russia, do they not have a Nazi problem", and I pointed out that there was not the same level of collaboration in Russia and that they literally liberated Auschwitz and helped defeat the Nazis. These are historical facts, not pro Russia progranda, and I was clear again and again that the war on Ukraine is bad.

Zelenskyy is somehow a piece of shit for being Jewish

You're a piece of shit. I said zelenski is a genocide supporting Zionist, I never mentioned that he's Jewish or reference it at all. You're conflating Zionist with Jewish and accusing me of antisemitism, you're doing the same thing as "Bibi", the one you compared directly to Nazis.

What's wrong with you?

You've called me tankie repeatedly and I've not once said anything pro Putin or his government/war/country. I've only referenced USSR Russia positively in one context.

Are you okay?

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

You literally are spewing russian propaganda...and since you're going to drag me back into this tankie shit spewing comment...fuck it, I've got a few minutes.

I didn't claim Ukraine was run by Nazis, I said it does have Nazis and a far right problem.

All countries do.... literally why I pointed out AfD...which you keep posting about nazis which as I've pointed out multiple times in multiple threads that Azov hasn't had nazis in it for more than a decade. Yet you continue to harp on about them which is literally russian propaganda at this point.

Then when you dismissed Ukraine's Nazi collaboration history I posted a Jewish Holocaust history encyclopedia referencing Ukraine's collaboration with the Nazis and the fact that Ukraine was a major killing ground where over 1.6 million Jews were exterminated.

Yep, and Ukraine was part of the USSR which was literally allied with the nazis... it's why there are historical sites like babyn yar... which russia shelled in 2022.

You then threw out a "what about Russia, do they not have a Nazi problem", and I pointed out that there was not the same level of collaboration in Russia and that they literally liberated Auschwitz and helped defeat the Nazis.

They literally worked with the Nazis until Hitler didn't need them anymore. You need a history less, your tankie classes are lacking.

These are historical facts, not pro Russia progranda, and I was clear again and again that the war on Ukraine is bad.

No they're historical facts missing a ton of pages so you can spout russian propaganda.

You're a piece of shit. I said zelenski is a genocide supporting Zionist, I never mentioned that he's Jewish or reference it at all. You're conflating Zionist with Jewish and accusing me of antisemitism, you're doing the same thing as "Bibi", the one you compared directly to Nazis.

And now we're to the angry phase...did your russian sources tell you he supports a two state solution and sent aid...more aid than even russia has sent...you know the state that's all about defending nazis...

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/2/in-war-torn-ukraine-showing-sympathy-for-palestine-is-no-longer-a-taboo

Kyiv has also shifted its stance towards Palestine, with Zelenskyy publicly saying at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore in 2024 that “Ukraine recognises two states, both Israel and Palestine, and will do everything it can to convince Israel to stop, to end this conflict and prevent the suffering of civilians”.

In July 2024, Kyiv sent 1,000 tonnes of wheat flour to the Palestinian territories as humanitarian assistance through its “Grain from Ukraine” initiative.

You're such a moron.

The "two state solution" is a Zionist tool used to sustain the colonization of Palestine, but of course your uneducated ass thinks that's something to be proud of.

I provided historical context, you cited literal westerm progranda as facts.

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Lol and you're a tankie and don't even know it apparently.

[-] 3abas@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Do you even know what "tankie" means? Do you even know what it means to you?

If you ever decide to read non colonial history books and learn something new instead of calling people Tankies when you can't engage, I'll truly celebrate.

I haven't once said anything "tankie", in defense of Russia, yet you keep insisting I'm spreading Russian progranda despite grounding and citing my claims in both western liberal media and Jewish Holocaust encyclopedia.

You lack the ability to accept criticism, you've said nothing of substance, you've provided no sources for your claims, and you repeatedly dismissed anti-Russia sources as tankie propaganda.

This isn't for you, btw, you're hopeless. It's for anyone reading your nonsense to see how you engage with facts that disagree with what you think you know.
