He also reiterated there will be no annual war games between the Philippines and the United States until the end of his six-year term, placing the longstanding alliance under a cloud of doubt. It also may make Washington's strategy of rebalancing its military focus towards Asia in the face of an increasingly assertive China much more difficult to achieve.
Certainly not the first time shitlib moralizing has put our security relationships in doubt. We've seen similar with Obama trying to shove faggotry down our allies' throats. No pun intended.
Not that Duterte is my favorite guy. But his country's internal affairs are of little significance to us.

I like how the article words it as an "assertive" china. No, it's belligerent and committing acts of war. Which is probably the reason their response to any response at all about the annexation of island from the philippines was to prepare for war... no one is talking about war accept for china... china is very obviously the aggressor is every single even in that area since the 60s, at least.
