Rodrigo Duterte, the hard stance Philippine leader has told American President Barrack Obama to “go to hell” after the US refused to sell weapons to his country over fear he may use it to hound more Pilipino’s.
Duterte said he is less concerned about America’s refusal to do business with his government saying he did not give a hoot because Russia and China were willing suppliers.
In his latest salvo, Duterte said he had lost respect for the United States and railed at its concerns about his bloody war on drugs, calling his critics “fools” who could not stop him carrying out a campaign that has killed more than 3,400 people in just over three months.

“Although it may sound shit to you, it is my sacred duty to keep the integrity of this republic and the people healthy,” Duterte said in his second of two televised speeches on Tuesday.
“If you don’t want to sell arms, I’ll go to Russia. I sent the generals to Russia and Russia said ‘do not worry we have everything you need, we’ll give it to you’.
“And as for China, they said ‘just come over and sign and everything will be delivered’.” Duterte added.
