UK political commentator cites 5 reasons why Liberals are afraid of Duterte winning against terrorists

Adam Garrie, political commentator and managing editor at "The Duran" international media platform revealed five reasons why Liberal Party are afraid of President Rodrigo Duterte winning against the  Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

"Liberals will never side with Rodrigo Duterte, even if he crushes ISIS in Philippines. Even as he fights ISIS, the western liberal elite and their mainstream media allies have nothing good to say about the Philippine President."

This was how Adam Garrie described the political scenario happening in the Philippines following President Duterte's declaration of Martial Law in the entire island of Mindanao to combat ISIS-linked terrorist group.

Garrie cited five reasons what frightens Liberal about Duterte victory:

1. ISIS is financed by drugs

Garrie explained that ISIS are known to profit from the international narcotics trade. Duterte's first war was the war on drugs, but what many do not realise is that it is related to the wider war on ISIS.

According to him, drugs and drug users are in this sense complicit in aiding terrorism. Liberals who make every excuse in the world for drug use are doing their best to ignore this. If Duterte wins the double-headed war on ISIS and the drugs that fund ISIS, liberals will have a great deal to answer for.

2. It vindicates President Bashar al-Assad’s fight against terrorism

"The liberal mainstream media continually demonise President Bashar al-Assad who once stood virtually alone fighting ISIS and other ISIS clones," Garrie said.

"By contrast, Duterte is a populist who openly promotes a heavy handed approach to social disorder and law enforcement. If Duterte who in many ways is far more of a hardliner than Assad wins the war on terrorism, it will show liberals that the soft approach to government is insufficient when fighting terrorism," he claimed.

3. A Duterte victory will demonstrate that Syria is surrounded by enemy states

Philippines is a series of islands making supplying ISIS considerably more difficult than supplying terrorists in Syria over land. This is especially true of Turkey from where many supplies including western arms reach the hands of terrorists, Garie said

"A naval blockade of the areas in Philippines where ISIS is in charge could help to stop the inflow of materials to the terrorists. This holds the potential to make a Philippine victory over ISIS easier than that of Syria which has found it difficult to police its borders with unfriendly states, he added.

 4. It shows that yet again Russia and China are on the correct side of history

"It can be recalled that ISIS launched their war of conquest against Philippines when Duterte was meeting with Putin is also a notable factor. ISIS and their puppet-masters in the Gulf and beyond wanted to expose Duterte’s relationship with Russia as meaningless," he cited.

The successful meetings between Philippines President Duterte and Russian President Vladimir Putin as well as China's leader will likely prove them wrong.

5. It unmasks the poor priorities of the liberal mainstream media and political elite

They were literally more concerned with Duterte’s domestic policies which they have no right to change, than they were about helping a democratic nation fight ISIS terrorism. Garrie concluded.
