Its possible but escalation to the degree you suggest is extremely unlikely. Despite Putin's public bravado he is well aware that Russia is now hugely reliant on China , Beijing would be very hostile to any suggestion of the use of nukes. Of course Putin may become so delusional that reason desserts him completely . However there would still be calm minds in the Kremlin , an early retirement would be arranged methinks.

I dont think any sensible person would think differently under any circumstances. The NRA inspired nonsense you parrot has been debunked time and time again.

Terrible news , evil personified ! My sincere condolences to the families involved and the local community , their grief must be unimanagable.

The difference being that in England there is a decent chance of a thorough and impartial investigation.

You appear to believe that we are talking about an efficient , non corrupt police force, headed by ethical , non corrupt officers. Extraordinary !

He has rigged future elections and nobbled any serious opposition , and you support him , incredible !

There are airport taxes in the UK but no specific tourist taxes. Indeed a zero rate of VAT for tourists has just been reintroduced. The basic principle of encouraging investment ( eg tourists) is enticement , NO level of additional taxation is enticing.

I believe that to be the case.

Im assuming that 90% of your post was a blatant wind up so have disregarded it , surprised though that the mods have allowed such blatant trolling. As for the part attacking her majesties funeral , and the British royal family in general, the irony does not escape me. I would have thought after 40 years residence in Bangkok , you would be more aware of the scope of Thailands Les Majestes law.

Well obviously there are exceptions but can you refute the following ; Thai education standards are generally very poor and in particular , critical thinking is discouraged.

Or bank robbers !

Putin ?

Very few people in the world make decisions based on single issues , its rarely a zero sum game. You for example apparently seemed happy to do business with Russia whilst it was slaughtering Afghans , Chechens and Syrians ( amongst others). No doubt you had reasons to do so.

Im starting to think you are trolling . Do you seriously believe that in todays global world , Thailand is immune from geopolitics lol ?

Childish deflection again .

The war has global implications , Thailand is not exempt from the consequencies. Thailand likes to sit on the fence and play both sides , might not end well for them this time around.

Nope , I checked , the UK definitely hasn't invaded Ukraine this year.

Possibly , but those Brits will spend a great deal more than the 1 or 2 night Malaysians.

And there are at least half a million from Cambodia/ Laos that are not tourists.

Well at least you now apparently realise that Putin's mob is getting a good kicking. Shame you now resort to the sort of deflection that an 8 year old would be embarassed by. Suggest you dissapear now as your fellow shills have had the good sense to.

Yet you spent your precious time both reading the thread and posting the above , how odd !

If Prayut ever had real control , as opposed to just being a figurehead, that time has passed.

Does it matter though ? The forced through constitution gives them a massive electorial edge and if by chance they lose , the tanks get mobilised.

Looks like he wasn't spared milk though , and quickly progressed to solids.

Lol , Galloway is a washed up politician who is basicly as biased and dishonest as its possible to be. Its your perogative to believe , or pretend to believe , anything you wish. However confirmation bias does not equate to a logical search for the truth. By all means ignore facts from verified sources , indulge the conspiracy peddlers and propagandists , just dont expect the clued up majority to swallow the nonsense you parrot.
