One post also appears to defend Nazi-era fiscal reforms, with Locsin saying: "It got us best Central Bank—anti-inflation, anti-foreign debt... Nazis hated inflation."@dqmcn True, a horror but they fixed broken Germany to repeat aggression ten times stronger. So they knew something more than killing Jews.

@dlccorps @dqmcn It got us best Central Bank—anti-inflation, anti-foreign debt; then Marcos abolished debt limits. Nazis hated inflation.

The account allegedly assigned to Locsin has not been verified by Twitter, but is regularly cited in Philippine media as belonging to the ambassador.The comments follow remarks made by president Duterte, who said that, like Hitler, he would “be happy” to exterminate millions of drug users and peddlers in the country.“Hitler massacred 3 million Jews. Now, there are 3 million drug addicts... I’d be happy to slaughter them,” he said during a speech given in Vietnam last week.“If Germany had Hitler, the Philippines would have...,” he said, pausing and pointing to himself.Historians have generally put the Nazi genocide against the Jews at six million.Duterte later walked back the remarks, apologizing “profoundly and deeply” to the Jewish community days later.“I would like to make it known, here and now, that there was never an intention on my part to derogate the memory of the six million Jews murdered,” he said in a speech at a festival carried live on television on Sunday.Duterte was voted into power in a May election on the back of a vow to end drug abuse and corruption in the country of 100 million people. He took office on June 30, and over 3,100 people have been killed since then, mostly drug users and peddlers, in police operations and in vigilante killings.Reuters contributed to this article.@alders_ledge If the Nazis were all wrong, how would Israel—abandoned by France, US, UK—have beat back 5 armies by blitzkrieg.
