Philippines' Duterte rails at U.S. 'monkeys' for halting gun sale
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte chided the United States on Wednesday for halting the planned sale of 26,000 rifles to his country, calling those behind the decision "fools" and "monkeys" and indicating he might turn to Russia and China instead.
Duterte's tirades against the former colonial power are routine during his speeches and he said on Wednesday he once believed in Washington, but had since lost respect for the Philippines' biggest ally.
In Washington, U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby said he regarded Duterte's latest salvo as "inexplicably at odds with the close relationship that we continue to have with not just the Filipino people, but the Filipino government." Reuters Read More>>>>>
He's probably better off buying Kalashnikovs from Russia than M16s from us. First of all the AK is more reliable. And secondly..... Have you priced these items lately? He can probably get two or three AKs for the price of a single M16. And if he's getting SKS rifles he's looking at even steeper savings still.
