Wether or not he's right on cleaning up the country, this guy is a serious fucking problem.
Not only does he represent a problem for many Philpino's, our helplessness or apathy towards the situation is only empowering him further and lending to a tacit approval of these measures domestically.

We should probably send a team to talk him out then.

The killing of drug dealers needs to be done. Plain and simple.
I think the US govt is making a terrible mistake by intervening though. Its exactly as he says, theyre pretending to "know better" and be the conscience of the world

No it fucking doesn't. Not like this anyway. What's wrong with prison, etc? Where do you think the drugs are coming from anyway? You actually think street level drug dealers are able to peddle drugs in the Philipines without the help of corrupt people at the top? How many people do you think are going to die at the top? Here's a hint: none.
