Accountability for Duterte
The slaughter of thousands in his antidrug campaign have led domestic and foreign critics to demand real justice.Duterte will not last long in power.
I expect he will be assassinated in office.
His henchmen will then fight among themselves.
It will be time for U.N. peace keepers.
Burmese perhaps.
