Oh I can't wait to hear all of his excuses for letting this happen, transporting cash by other reports, saying it was on 'humanitarian grounds' is an Oxymoron in itself  what a circus this place has become with a Clown as ringmaster, but who is the real ringmaster in Thailand . 

It was the late PremTinsulanonda, former Thailand head of Armed Forces, PM and President of the Privy Council  who adopted the past and present Burmese junta leader Min Aung Hlaing. The militaries of these two countries considered themselves brothers.

If killing masses of kids is not a war crime what is???          https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/unicef-over-13000-children-killed-in-gaza-war-many-more-suffering-severe-malnutrition/

Who is Warren?

Some retired Ozzie on the YouTube shacked up in BKK with a local ladyboy. Irritating as all hell.

Why you say that?

As is the usual case, it is amazing how idiots like this can amass any wealth in the first place, never mind the tidy sum always involved.

Likely a case of inheritance

All 7 of them, is American democracy at stake here??? 

You call that democracy? If it takes $2b to get elected  president of that country it is far from being a true democracy. The Economy Group classifies it as being a flawed democracy same as Thailand. I would more accurately call it a corrupt flawed democracy. So the Democrats against democracy are up in arms. Boo-hoo is all I have to say after the way the DNC stole that nomination from Bernie twice

Maybe there is nobody who cares what I think. Maybe also nobody cares what you think.

But this is an open forum and we both can publish what we think.

 

And just in case you don't know it, the internet works all over the world. So even if I would go home I could still write something in this forum - only to annoy you. 😉 

Well I'm sure I am not alone in enjoying how rotten things have been going for you in the last spell. Also knowing how much it's going to get even worse with the return and vindication of Ms Yingluck.

_{I read of a court case recently here in Canada (although it might have been USA) where the judge was confused and in order to make a ruling stated that he was mixed up on the he/she thing and determined the only sure way forward was to answer the question, "was she/he born with a vagina?". Understandably, gender modification can be confusing. No doubt Thailand will experience some "growing" pains should this legislation move forward.  (No, I don't have a link).}

I don't think Canada has judges that dumb so must be the other place.

Basically, he gives us the finger.

I do what I want to do. And there is nothing you can do about it.

 

He is a sad man that he still needs to do this to feed his ego.

You write like you are a Thai national. I'm pretty sure there is not a real Thai who could care less what you think. Seems you have lost the plot. Maybe it's time to head home

Muslim extremists will happily kill innocent folk anywhere in the world.

It is a shame that the Russian army is busy invading and murdering other innocent folk elsewhere otherwise Putin could have been like Israel and sent his army to invade ISIS territory.

There are a whole bunch of African countries that have called in Russia and its mercenaries to take care of ISIS. Get a better news source!!!

Will have to wait and see how things develop on this. ISIS is always quick to take responsibility for every bad thing that happens to one of its enemies.

This is how I see the USA becoming under another 4 years of DT. Deny, fake news, delay.

I dont believe for a second bribery does not happen in the "Western" world however they are much more discreet about it.

 

Here pretty much anything goes and when you have the people in "control" policing everybody, there is no accountability.

 

We went thru a check stop the other day and my wife points to a police officer "see that guy with the glasses, he controls the Yaba trade in this region" how do you know this - "everybody knows"😂 555

I think in the States it goes by the term "campaign contribution" rather than "bribery"

              Most people will have no issue contributing to a thread like this , and it would make no difference if the word "russians"  was replaced with almost any other nationality British , are always fair game, whether their antics make the headlines or not,  along with all the english speaking nations,  And currently as we know the swedes are also in the firing  line based on the behaviour of a few of them,   Everybody joins in in pulling the subject  to pieces and stereotypes are rife,  only the very uber woke, unable to miss an opportunity to take offence, bother surfacing from the bottom to utter their predictable and rather boring accusations of "racism"  At which they expect us shrivel up and die like dracula when exposed to holy water or sunlight

              This inclines me to believe that there is more than a little bit of racism and xenophobia in nearly everybody, its just getting increasingly difficult to find a legal target, and a good enough excuse  but when they do they don't hold back . IAs far as I can see it appears to be an inherent part of human nature, 

               However change the word "russian"   to Pakistani ,  Moroccan , Indian , Gazan,  for example,  and the cry from the lefties would be deafening,  Many who enjoyed joining in  ranting about the Brits,  will quickly change their tune, suddenly  becoming virtue signalling supporters of  diversity , and begin to attack those making similar comments to those they themselves made on threads like this 

                By the way I'm no great fan of Russians either!  I know they can't be all bad, but enough of them are. 

                

               

                     

Well the Swiss had been hogging the limelight the last while so some diversion was needed.

are you suggesting they should have just let the russians invade unopposed?

Seems you have been lapping up the propaganda nonsense in the western media. Try watching some YouTube videos of professor John Mearsheimer. He is very knowledgable and honest. 

"Despite US pressure"???? Under Biden there has been nothing but disaster after disaster for US foreign policy. Now the IDF is about to invade Rafah against the protests of the Biden administration. Bibi knows full well that Biden cannot do a thing about it without his top rank donors abandoning him and the Israel lobby media showing their wrath.
