Isis has laid its foot on the soil of Philippines.The country was marked as a target by the terrorist group for some time.After it conquered a town ,ISIS terrorists battled with government forces.But some questions must be asked:will ISIS become a force to be reckoned with in Philippines ?And why is this country a target for ISIS?
We know that Duterte ,the president of Philippines isn’t considered a friend by the american “deep state” as he carries his China-friendly policy.After he offended president Obama by telling him to go to hell Duterte was designated as a target by the US administration ,a target that needs to be dealt with.So the “deep state” uses once again the not so obvious method of deposing a legitimate leader by arming rebels and terrorists that will fight government forces.Like they did in Libya or Syria.The full –scale invasion method (like in Irak) or backing a coup d’etat (like in Chile) aren’t recommended anymore as the world is aware that the US is playing a dirty game.
Only time will tell if ISIS will destabilize Philippines and overthrow Duterte but the only thing which is certain is that the US is struggling for control in this region of the globe.To keep it’s prominence ,the US needs all the friends it can get.But by behaving like the mad man of the world America will only find herself surrounded by enemies.
Duterte gets things done. Good post!
