Description:
- Like a play looking for a plot, President Duterte’s “diplomatic war” with the United States is one in search of a valid reason and a just cause. We are dumbfounded by its sheer opacity, and the prospect that we shall ever see the real reason and cause for it seems rather remote. It is beginning to look like like a border war between two states that have no common border to begin with.
