Probably faked as an excuse to keep him away from the cameras We've all seen enough.

Finally someone saw sense. I guess the press will be thronging in their thousands to get a glimpse of him and paying through the nose for interviews while for 12 years they ignored him and hid in the shadows while this one true journalist was persecuted.

There won't be a real journo among the lot of them and Julian will stand alone as a man that told the truth and revealed the crimes of the true criminals... Being the USA and their terrorist military.

My wife got scammed the same way... She went to the police and they said this person has been doing this for over 2 years and he can't (won't) be stopped. This means they know his identity yet won't do anything about him.

The proximate reason being either they won't make any money for themselves pursuing this, or they already nabbed him in the past and he has paid them off.... I will tend to lean towrds the latter.

The moral of the story is NEVER buy from facebook marketplace unless you can use the post office's 'pay on delivery' and open the parcel before paying. Or only buy from your area and meet up with the seller to complete the trade in person.

Forget the police... They are useless.

Just fact checking this. What and when was the election that Navalny stood head to head with Putin in where he achieved <1% of the vote (was that the best he achieved in a comparable election), and are you sure about the 5% figure in the Moscow mayoral election?

You will have to wade through all the fake propaganda crap that has been seeded by the west.

He didn't even get to stand in a head to head election with Putin because he didn't even achieve the minimum vote to qualify in the final elections.

He was NEVER the 'opposition' the opposition is the next biggest party.... NOT every idiot that comes along and fancies their chances....

He was even thrown out of his original party for being a far right extremist racist who is on video waving a gun around and pledging to kick all muslims out of Russia or kill them if they don't leave... Youtube scrubbed all evidence of this but the video still does the rounds on X and Telegram... While checking his Wikipedia profile you will find EVERYTHING negative has been edited out.... Wikipedia does that all the time.

He is the perfect golden boy for western leaders who are attracted to the biggest filth on earth.

Gotya, so I can't include the one that proves the point. There's little point in him suppressing other parties that can't get their act together and will likely never construct a meaningful opposition.

 

You didn't answer the bit about the censorship of foreign media. While I'm at it, why were the people that were peacefully protesting about the war (sorry, special military operation) summarily rounded up? Is this the free Russia that you love, where people are voting for the man that doesn't give them much of a meaningful choice? Are you free to protest about the war in the middle of Red Square without any threat of repercussion?

 

I warned you about this didn't I...

Navalny didn't even get 1% of the vote when he stood in elections against Putin... In fact his best ever political vote count was when he stood for mayor of Moscow where he achieved a startling 5% of the vote.... Not quite the required amount for victory... Western media banged on about how Putin put him in prison to stop him standing... What they failed to tell you is that Navalny and his brother embezzled over 150,000 Euros from a french cosmetics company called Yves Rocher, they were also found guilty of money laundering and even then he was given bail which he skipped and fled to Germany where he was hospitalised with suspected novachok poisoning which was all bull because for the world's most toxic nerve agent, it never seems to ever kill anyone (see Skrippals affair) where 3 people in the UK also survived contact with it but hey... It made great propaganda for idiots out there with low IQ.

As for censorship of the media.... It was western mendia that censored themselves... The Russian parliament the State Duma created a law stating it illegal for ALL journalists in Russia to report FAKE NEWS about the Rusian military and the Special Military Operation.... So ALL western journalists packed their bags and left for the airport which was very telling in that their number one function was to create FAKE NEWS..... So by running away they basically self-censored opting instead to sit in an office in London and making it all up as they go along.

Which by the way are almost certainly the same FAKE NEWS journalists you have gained your education from.

Right, so if Putin is so very much for the people and is almost universally loved by the people, why is there a need to almost totally suppress any political opposition? Why is there any need for the massive (even more than the US) censorship of foreign media?

There is no suppression of political opposition you complete dorkus.

Give me an example???.... I bet you can't.... ALL Russian elections are overseen by representitives of scores of global election observers sent in by countries all over the world, but strangely western countrties NEVER send any.. I wonder why???.... The US even thretened sanctions of observers if they dared go to the Russian election.

So I am waiting for you to name a 'so called' opponent that was suppressed.

Don't even fricken try to name Navalny.... The ONLY opposition to Putin would be the communist Party of Russia who achieve just about 10% in an election which is hardly any threat to Putin's party and everyone else gets single figures.

So while you are great at quopting the BBC and all the other western fake media, you are going to have to work incredibly hard to enter into discourse with someone like me who is incredibly well studied in this particular subject matter, and if you really do want to mention Navalny, let me warn you I can go into granular detail about his entire political achievements.

You mean like giving away a significant portion of the national resource pot of gold to a handful of "the chosen ones" to create the Oligarchs?

 

...and taking an even bigger pot for himself?

He gave the Oligarchs NOTHING..... Do you even know where the oligarchery came from???..... It came from the collapse of the USSR in 1991 when all those state owned factories and warehouses and industries became vacant and armed gangs started to mobilize and walk into them claiming ownership..... That happened for 9 years before Putin was even elected.... What was the first thing Putin did when he came to office?..... He had the lot of them rounded up and thrown into prison where he let them stew for a few weeks without even knowing what they had done wrong, then one by one he had them marched into his office and told them he was demanding half of everything or back to prison they go.... EVERY one of them signed. All that was put into government ownership for the people.... but hey, I guess you have been successfully propagandised by the western media.

You listen to too much propaganda.

 

Nazi regime? What are you smoking?

 

You are totally ignorant of the facts comrade Brewsteranov

Strange how just about EVERY western media organisation ran multiple reports about the Nazi problem in Ukraine until they were told to make Ukraine the heroes..... Azov Battalion, Right Sector, C14,  Ethnic National Union, Homo Ethnicus, Denic Kapustin, Misanthropic Division, Social National Assembly, Social National Party of Ukraine, Wolfsangel to name but a few who seig heil there way around in their jackboots tatooed with German Nazi insignia.... Western Ukraine fought with the Nazis in WW2, the so-called 'father of Ukraine' Steppan Bandera was a fricken died-in-the-wool NAZI  who is honoured all over Ukraine with statues and even roads and buildings named after him.... Guess where all these organisations get their funding?..... Yup, the US State dept, The British foreign Office and the EU Commission.... Why?.... that answer is simple, because if you want to use a country as a proxy, you need to get into bed with the most extremist elements just like they do with Al Qaeda and ISIS who strangely seem to fight all of the west's enemies, and don't try to tell me you are also ignorant about THAT.

And why didn't folk vote for another, are you that stupid.............😂

 

Well when you look deeper at what Putin has achieved for the Russian people in 2 decades then you might start to understand why he is so popular.... When he took over, Russia was a complete basket case lying drunk on the floor while the west was picking her pockets.

Putin stopped all that and he has achieved an economic miracle that has lifted most of the population out of poverty and put Russia squarely on her feet.

What country can say that about their leaders?..... Rishi Sunak who nobody voted for?.... Joe Biden the senile?.... Olaf Sholz who sat back and let the USA blow up his eesential pipeline?.... Macron the little Napoleon who is about to wiped out og the national Assembly?.... Ursula Von Der Lyon who can't string two sentences together?

The west is run by idiots and incompetents and populated by morons who keep them in office..... So it is no wonder Putin gets the vote from his people.

Openly discussing and approving basic theft show the actual level of education of those "leaders".

Complete absence of knowledge in international laws as well as diplomacy.

And the during "family photo" Justin shouted that UA slogan <<< that was priceless "cherry on the top".

 

No wonder that Thai refused to participate in this circus.

Trudeau looked like a 10 year old when he did that.... Everybody laughed at him.

The most low grade leaders in the world exist right across the west.

Well done Thailand for refusing to sign the document of the outcome of the comical 'so called' 'Peace' summit in Lucerne, Switzerland...

They obviously were not going to be fooled that this comical collection of western leaders and low grade civil servants had any intention towards 'peace'.

In fact at no time whatsoever was there any attempt to discuss 'peace'... In fact it was nothing more than a staged platform for OUTGOING western leaders of the so-called free world to stand up on stage and criticise and threaten President Putin and Russia. It was also used as an excuse for the most corrupt politician on earth to continue to beg for money so he can buy more luxury multi-million dollar properties worldwide while he feeds his male (and female) population into a meat grinder for the benefit of creepy hair sniffing Joe Biden and Co.

So well done to Thailand for having principles and all those other countries who were not for one minute fooled.

Already ended during the last military government control who aligned Thailand with China.

 

It wasn't so much that the USA "broke up" with Thailand, it was more Thailand "broke up" with the USA.  A divorce that may come back to haunt them in the future. 

In what way would it haunt them?

The US is like Israel, becoming extremely isolated from the world that is on the rise... All they have are their little sycophants that are equally in decline.

The era of western hegemony is OVER.

Looks like it is official.

Thailand has applied for full BRICS membership and seems like their acceptance will be declared in October this year at the BRICS summit in Russia.

Seems like there could be around 14 new countries joining this year with another 59 countries delaring their intention to join.

This will be very good for Thailand in the building of the new multi-polar world and away from the US dominated unipolar world.

The west are finished... It is a dead parrot.

The western economies can not function without the resources from the rest of the world... By the end of this year BRICS will control 80% of all energy exports and they will use that power to kill the petro-dollar.

TH is very big in diversity. What you encounter at BKK's slums, gov housing projects, far Lard Prao subsois is just one hell. 

please don't compare country vs. country. It IS NOT statistically correct request.

Nonsense... All countries have diverse socio-economic areas and people.

You point out the slums of BKK.... I can tell you now, EVERY country in the so-called developed west have slums where people live on the edge of poverty. It is absolutely correct to compare one with the other.

Just wanted to get a feel for the Expat community experiences regarding crime in Thailand they have personally experienced versus crime in their home countries they have personally experienced.

I come from the UK and in the final 10 years I lived there my car was broken into 3 times and had my CD player stolen each time. My home was burgled (robbed) 2 times. I had my garden wall kicked down. I was assaulted once and was scammed once by a fraudster... I by no means lived in an inner city urban enviroment but instead a sleepy Oxfordshire market town... 

I have lived in Thailand for 14 years and have never personally experienced any crime against myself or my property and I can not recall any crime happening to any of my very extensive Thai family members... In fact the last time I visited the UK for 3 weeks, becasue we had lost our front door key, we just left it unlocked and I had absolutely no worries.

Am I just lucky here?

I am talking about crime you personally experienced or to anyone close to you... I am not talking about crime you have read about, because this is a country of almost 70 million population and of course there is going to be crime on a general scale... There is crime on a general scale in every country on earth.

I don't think corruption should count here, we all know it is almost a cultural feature here but restricted to people of authority.

I am talking about amongst the general public.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and relay your thoughts.
