From someone within the US government. It literally a classified US government document being published by the intercept.
Source + user's post history, what.

This reads far more casually than I would have expected. I have to remind myself sometimes that these are real people too, just as awkward and uncomfortable as the rest of us can be. If it isn't fake, I'm glad OP posted this.
This document reads like a load of nonsense, but I guess through translation issues + the spelling and grammar errors, it's bound to sound ridiculous. At first I was entirely unconvinced that it's legitimate given the source, but given the Washington Post article backing it up, it must be.
its endearing in a weird way how trump just talks exactly like the trump we all know in private

What's fucked is that Duterte thinks that dropping the bomb is the solution to the NK problem.
I love how Trump congratulates Duterte for doing a great job with the drug problem. Apparently murder squads are great now?
[QUOTE=The Rifleman;52266999]What's fucked is that Duterte thinks that dropping the bomb is the solution to the NK problem.[/QUOTE] Is it really that surprising? He thinks massacring his own people is the answer to their drug problem so you know
[QUOTE=Zestence;52267014]I love how Trump congratulates Duterte for doing a great job with the drug problem. Apparently murder squads are great now?[/QUOTE] Trump and his administration have already praised Duterte publicly.
[QUOTE=Trump]I just wanted to congratulate you because I'm hearing of the unbelievable job on the drug problem. Many countries have the problem, we have a problem, but what a great job you're doing and i just wanted to call and tell you that.[/QUOTE] I just got aids reading that. :hammered: "Hey, good job on the state sponsored death squads just going around killing random people"
hes congratulating mass murder
It doesn't read nearly as badly as what I thought it was going to read.
so vigilantism's alright according to POTUS, sweet, now he ain't got a leg to stand on if he gets parred

I'd like to think supporting mass murder would be the line, but who the fuck am I kidding? What a fucking a scary time for politics.
[QUOTE=Zestence;52267014]I love how Trump congratulates Duterte for doing a great job with the drug problem. Apparently murder squads are great now?[/QUOTE] It baffles me that a leader of any western country, let alone of the U.S, would condone Duterte's actions. There's no question Trump as a president is beyond fucked up.

Its not they support trump. Its the view things are so broken, might as well break it further. Trump part of that black pill "mood". The people I talk to? There is a deep sense of nihilism on both sides. The people who support trump are delusional, desperate or bought in to fox news propaganda or are so disillusioned they support trump as an expression of despair.
