Heard the news late last week about the PH cancelling the helicopter deal with Canada....now i just heard that Canada will not sell military equipment to any government with human rights issues. Just wondering which came first, and who's doing damage control.

February 12th, 2018 09:55 AM #12344Canada won't sell because the PH made representations and assurances the helicopters will be used for S&R only and not for anti-terror/anti-rebel operations. Originally Posted by aioshin
Also, there are western countries who won't sell military equipment or anything that can be used militarily, for those countries with bad human rights records. The PH is lumped together with China, Saudi Arabia and Algeria insofar as Canada is concerned so its not as if we are being singled out.

February 12th, 2018 11:05 AM #12345Too bad the PH won't be getting the more advance choppers... I think we were able to procure eight with anoalogue instrumentation during PNoys time... and Digong rode on them often since 1 or two went to the Presidential Air Wing. Anyway they aren't configure for COIN operations since they are purely VIP and SAR operations. Kaya mas maganda talaga bumili sa China or Russian sources since walang strings attached.

February 12th, 2018 11:12 AM #12346^ yeah pero malamang yung "export" version ang ibebenta sa atin. They're wary of having their weapons being used against them.

February 12th, 2018 11:15 AM #12347It’s naive to think there are no strings when a government agrees to sell military equipment. There are strings. Just of varying lengths. China is willing to sell because the current admin is silent or not willing to touch on the ITLOS ruling on the SCS in favor of the PH. Russia wants to sell because they have limited trade options with US sanctions against them plus they believe they can rebalance U.S. Influence in the PH.

February 12th, 2018 01:43 PM #12349How populism is poisoning the global liberal order Originally Posted by uls
Notwithstanding global anxieties over populists like U.S. President Donald Trump, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey, and Prime Minister Viktor Orban in Hungary, there is still a surprising level of confusion about what is, and what is not, populism. While there are multiple definitions in circulation, populism can be distilled to three essential characteristics: popular but unsustainable policies; the designation of a specific population group as the sole "legitimate" members of a nation; and highly personalized styles of leadership emphasizing a direct relationship with "the people."

people don't believe in vaccines
people believe in pseudoscience and quackery
we're seeing the human race degenerate before our eyes

February 12th, 2018 07:35 PM #12352from the article posted by Monserrato:
Access Denied
The future of the global liberal order hinges in large part on the direction of populism in the U.S. After all, the U.S. was the chief architect and custodian of the world order over the past 70 years. If the U.S. withdraws its support, then the order is likely to come unstuck.
the US isn't going to rein in autocrats
Trump himself has autocratic tendencies and his America First policy means the US will be looking after itself first
the US will no longer solve other countries' problems
Europe has its own problems like rising far right movement coz many citizens are angry at their governments for allowing millions of refugees into their countries
European governments just sat there watching Syria burn
They didn't do anything about Assad
now they're paying for the consequences of their inaction
--
Western powers have their own problems
so even if the Phils. won the SCS arbitration case against China, nobody came to enforce it
they're not going to war with China just for us
--
so du30 is being charged in ICC
let's say du30 is found guilty of crimes against humanity
tapos?
who's gonna enforce it?
the Americans?
the Europeans?
--
The West is tired
they didn't do anything about Russia taking Crimea
they're afraid of Putin
and they can't do anything about China
this is now a multi-polar world
Russia and China aren't afraid of the West
and the West isn't going to war with Russia and ChinaLast edited by uls; February 12th, 2018 at 07:41 PM.

Lawyer survives ambush, rams motorcycle-riding gunmen with SUV | Inquirer News
So far this is the 5th? case where riding in tandem gunmen were confirmed to be police. Still don't believe PNP isn't involved in EJKs?“Merong dalawang motorsiklo na involved sa alleged ambush. Itong SUV, galing sa EDSA, kakanan sana sa papuntang East Avenue, at inabangan siya at pinagbabaril. Hinabol niya at nasagasaan itong mga motor,” Eleazar, chief of the Quezon City Police District, told reporters in an interview at the crime scene.
The incident ended at EDSA’s northbound lane near Trinoma Mall in Quezon City, with Cabatbat managing to ram the two motorcycles with his SUV.
One gunman was killed. He was identified as PO1 Mark Boquela Ayeras, through his Philipine National Police ID.
This happened on EDSA. Fricking EDSA.

February 14th, 2018 08:05 AM #12359Ganyan naman talaga ang modus dati sa davao city. Kaya naging staple sa ganyan ang davao death squad
I was still living in davao city during the time the dds came into fore. I heard lots of stories about who was behind that "special squad" from davao's finest. They became a political tool used by politicians as much as a supposed "anti-criminal task force "
