Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte says Russian and Chinese diplomats have been very receptive of his many complaints about the United States, and he will continue to develop relations with the two rogue leftist states so long as they approve of his “bloody” war on drugs.

“Shift your alliance to us. You won’t gain anything from them,” Duterte quoted an unnamed Chinese official as telling him on Sunday, the “them” in the sentence being the U.S. government. “I’m going to China to make friends with them and also with Russia,” he noted, reiterating his position that the Philippines should develop more reliance of the two Asian countries.

In addition to the mystery Chinese official, the president of the Philippines said that he had met with Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian Prime Minister, who listened to him complain about Washington and shared his frustration. “I told him that the situation was like this. They are making it hard for me and they are shamelessly bastardizing me,” Duterte said. “He said ‘America is like that.’ We will help you.”
