Duterte 'happy to slaughter' drug suspects, compares himself to Hitler

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte raised his bloody anti-crime war rhetoric to a new level on Friday, comparing it to how Hitler massacred millions of Jews and saying how he would be "happy to slaughter" 3 million addicts.

Duterte issued his latest threat against drug dealers and users early on Friday on returning to his home in southern Davao city after visiting Vietnam, where he discussed his anti-drug campaign with Vietnamese leaders and compared notes on battling the problem.

Historians say that 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazis under Hitler before and during World War II.
