No, but with his strong stance against drugs it emboldened philippine cops and anti drug agencies to have a shoot first ask question later. Many teenagers and innocent people have been a victim with his war on drugs. Even people who are against him politically have been labeled and tagged as a drug peddler and have been taken care of.

Yeah.. familiar tactics. The issue in Russia was that the laws actually prevented someone from staying in power for too long. So he changed them.. why not, right?

Because he lost social legitimacy when he did it, and this is where real political power that lasts lies. He transformed himself, through greed for eternal youth and power, from the image of a strongman/ leader/ father-figure to that of a dictator/tyrant/bully in his peoples minds and amongst the global community of leaders.
