Why does Australia oppose Philippines President’s anti-drug crime wars in Philippines, but help the U.S. bomb civilians in Syria and Middle East?
But why does Australia choose to support the U.S. in their counter-terrorism efforts in the Middle East but not in the Philippines?
The Australian government views the situation in the Philippines differently than it does the situation in the Middle East. The Philippines government's anti-drug campaign has been heavily criticized for its human rights abuses, while the counterterrorism efforts in the Middle East are aimed at reducing the threat of terrorism in the region and globally.
