Historian Joseph Scalice exposes the role of Stalinism in the rise of Duterte

Dr. Tom Sykes, of the University of Portsmouth, the fourth speaker, spoke of the hypocrisy of US imperialism and the mainstream media in their selective outrage at human rights violations by figures like Duterte while never dealing with the war crimes of Washington. He similarly dealt with accusations being raised against supposed “Chinese imperialism” in the region, when the single greatest destabilizing military presence was that of the United States.
