UNexit. What a parochial, onion-skinned mind.
"I do not want to insult you. But maybe we'll just
have to decide to separate from the United Nations," he said.
"If you are that rude, we might just as well
leave," he said.
"So take us out of your organisation. You have done
nothing. Where were you here the last time? Never. Except to criticise,"
he said.
Mr Duterte said the UN should refund its contribution
"so we can go out".
Mr Duterte said the UN had been unable to combat hunger and terrorism and had failed to end the killing of civilians in Iraq and Syria.
Sige pa, President Digong (Pgong), open your mouth more about foreign affairs
and (non) diplomacy. :-)
I am no fan of the UN in its climate alarmism drama and
racket. But in enforcing international rule of law regarding
territorial disputes, settling big differences between or among countries in a peaceful
manner, I support the UN. Our membership there is useful and important for us.
I can understand the torment that PH diplomats
suffer out there abroad. Pgong's mind and mouth is so unstable and
unpredictable. Ang bilis mapikon eh, parang bata batuta. Tough job defending or
sanitizing his statements.
"You now, United Nations, if you can say one bad thing about me, I can give 10 [about you]. I tell you, you are [useless]. Because if you are really true to your mandate, you could have stopped all these wars and killings."
Somehow Pgong is correct here. The UN is busy with so
many non-core functions like climate alarmism and "save the planet", and endless
welfarism like MDGs, SDGs. Its core function, its raison d'etre why it was
formed after WW2, has been heavily diluted. So that it has little resources left for settling
territorial and cultural/ethnic disputes between or among countries.
We have to thank the UN through its Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA). The PH governent panel won over China, we got lots of foreign support and diplomatic sympathy vs.
China there.
