Philippines sovereignty count for nought. They deserve to be a vassal of China if that is their attitude. You have to stand your ground and defend your territory and because it might be costly, a serious minded people would have invested in sufficient defence years back.
Duterte violence towards suspected drug traffickers has always been a sign of weakness rather than strength and yet he got overwhelming support from Filipinos. They are going to be a cautionary tale for the rest of us for those moments we ever felt like them as enough Americans did and elected Trump.
Recently we have tested the limits of democracy. By that I meant we saw the circumstances when democracy produced awful results by electing the wrong people into power.
Rutte and his team learned the lessons from the UK and America and succeeded at fending off Wilders.
