Something needs to change the direction that the current path is on with Russia. And Mr Trump is the only one willing and capable of doing it. The West is a lot better off with Russia as an ally. Look at history. Good things happen when the West works in sync with Russia. And bad things happen when the opposite position is taken. Once again. Good policy from Mr Trump.

Fully agree with you on this. Russian communism is dead and the country no longer represents a threat to the West.

The episode Crimea was wanted by a vast majority of the population. There was not a single shot.

Same for eastern Ukraine. Unfortunately there are weapons there and this should be negotiated by the stakeholders taking into account the wish of the population.

But what a shame for Europe to be surpassed by Trump in reconciliation with Russia.

Agree totally.

You are all Americans and know your own cuisine better than farangs.

But Trump is a fresh gasp of air , he is different and looks perusiative. He is totally different even in his own party. This is something new.

I doubt Trump has any business interests in Russia, he is brilliant self made man

Self made? You're joking right? He was born into money. Of course he has business interests in Russia but that doesn't mean he's owned by Russia either.

Okay, Trump was born into money, but he didn't waste his inherited money but invested his money in business, was working hard, bulit his own empire. He knows how to manage huge enterprises so he will be smart in economics which is more important than foreign deals. First of all the president has to care for its own population, provide jobs, food and shelter to own people. Foreign policy is secondary.

oilinky, Trump is owned by Russian Investors? There are no more investors left there, all investors are on the other side of the ocean

I dont thibk Trump has any business interests in Russia, he is brilliant self made man

Sorry, double posted... computer lags

I doubt Trump has any business interests in Russia, he is brilliant self made man

Donald Trump implies Vladimir Putin uses the 'N-word' to describe Barack Obama

"The US election campaign has plunged to new a level of accusation and toxicity after Donald Trump claimed Russian leader Vladimir Putin,

had no respect for Barack Obama and appeared to imply he used a racial epithet to describe the American president.”

"He also encouraged Russia to hack the emails of his election rival Hillary Clinton."

"In comments that were extreme even by the standards Mr Trump, the Republican candidate was asked by reporters in Florida,

about the controversy surrounding the alleged Russian hacking of Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails."

WATCH: Trump says he ‘never met Putin’ — despite bragging about meeting him just last year

"In an interview with Florida news station CBS4 Miami, Trump denied he had any business dealings with Russia and even went so far as to say that he’d never met Putin."

“I have nothing to do with Russia, nothing to do, I never met Putin, I have nothing to do with Russia whatsoever,” he told the station.

“I got to know him very well because we were both on 60 Minutes , we were stablemates,” said Trump at the time."

Here’s the Deal With That Putin 60 Minutes Episode Trump Mentioned

"Trump and Putin did not meet in a “green room” for the show, which does not have the typical off-stage waiting area for guests that a talk show has."

"In fact, they weren’t even on the same continent. Trump was interviewed by CBS’s Scott Pelley in his New York City penthouse,

for the season premiere of the hour-long docu-series while Charlie Rose travelled to Moscow to interview Vladimir Putin."

"Trump: “I have nothing to do with Russia, nothing to do, I never met Putin, I have nothing to do with Russia whatsoever,” he told the station."

"Trump: I was shocked to hear him mention the N-word."

Russia thanks God does not have these weird politcal correctness symptoms, caused by Europes atavistcolonial history. Conquestadors and Brtis when conquering Americas killed hundred of millions of local population. Russia finds itselif in a very conntrary situation, Russians does not have to apologize between the whole world for something created in sick someones sick minds. Only spitting in the face they get. THe western society is very rude, hypocritical, aggressive and unfair.

Vote for Trump, he is a good guy! I sometimes listen to his speeches , I don't here that he lyes, his speeches are sincere, he says what he wants to say and doesn't give a flying one about what Dems think. He would be a great president if elected but unfortunately we are going to live under Clintons dynasty (Kim Jong Il comes to mind) for another 8 yrs, and it possibly could end up with major military conflict. Freedom leads to crimes and hyperegoism. Americans are the leading nation and they have to vote fo man who will change current destuctional suicidal poicy.

Political correctness, tolerance, so-called "democracy" will destroy EU. Talking heads in Brussels should switch on brains.

Theatre of absurd is going on in the USA with the elections.

Craig, you want me to post some links but not of the Russian origin. Do you want me to post CNN or BBC links or what? You do not believe Russian links, i do not believe western links. Internet is not a reliable source of information. Anyone can write here whatever they want. How can anyone judge facts basing on someones Facebook posts? Reminds me the "investigation" of shot MH over Ukraine which was also based on "links" and "posts in internet. Maybe we should start consider notes made on walls in public toilets as well as an evidence? I was in all Baltic states, Ukraine, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and tens of other countries and so what? I can tell you absolutely opposite things that you are saying. Hold a referendum, like it was in UK, in Crimea and in the Baltics and then you will see the truth. Otherwise... Well

Any link from a media site that is not owned by a government or is near the bottom of the list for freedom of press. Sadly, that includes all media from countries like Russia and China. And no, I don't believe Russian links. Just like I don't believe news items put out by the CIA.

This might help you. A link from a credible site:

https://rsf.org/en/ranking

As for not believing western news links, well, sad you don't believe some of the best media sites in the world. With fantastic journalists who really do try to get at the truth. Doesn't cover all of them, but some, for sure.

You're grasping at straws and starting to border on trolling. I think we need to get back on topic. OK? Ukraine, killed journalist.

I agree that CNN or BBC have wonderful journalists but it's all politicized now. Both sides are publishing propaganda. I will check your link but taking into consideration the level of mutual untrust and propaganda, you are right, this discussion is useless. And it's all very sad. Mr Sheremet was a bright talented journalist, I very well remember his reports. Let his soul rest in peace. Who killed him? It's a question to the Ukrainian authorities. Maybe I will go off topic a bit, but what is really interesting that Nadezda Savchenko a Ukrainean officer who was sentenced to 22 years in Russian prison for murder charges and recently pardoned by Putin and returned a hero to Kiev and MP now has started saying reasonable things. That Ukraine should start talks with Donetsk, she offered herself to be a mediator in these talks. Donetsk, as I read, agreed. Before this move nobody from the Ukrainian government wanted to talk with Donetsk. But direct talks between Kiev and Donetsk were a part of Minsk-2 treaty. Now a campaign against Savchenko started calling her russian spy and traitor.

Go to Russia, go to Crimea and talk to people there. There you will see truth. Which links do you want me to provide? Visit Baltic states where all population has gone to EU to find work to survive and only government officials are native Baltic citizens, the rest of the population are native Russians.

Riiiiight, and there are no more Russians in Moscow, only Chechens and Uzbeks.

Completely agree!

Ukrainean president Yanukovich fled to Russia because of the coup, now the country is ruled by groups of oligarchs and nazist who are even changing the names of the streets in cities to their Nazi heroes: Stepan Bandera etc.

The civil war in Ukraine started because of that stupid law about using Russian language on the territory of Ukraine as a second state language and turned out in what we see now. Tens of thousands casualties now and whole regions are in ruins.

You refer to holodomor in Ukraine, sorry, it was in 30s last century during Stalin and has nothing to do with modern Russia. Russia is not a communist country anymore (thanks God) and Stalin's crimes against own population is very well known and are condemned. Stalin is respected by the population as a winner in WW2 which saved the country from destruction by Nazi Germany.

Nato aggression. NATO has recently deployed nuclear missiles in Poland, Romania right on Russian borders and is telling Russian that it should relax as these missiles are against Iran ( this is ridiculous).

1) Bandera spent most of WWII in a Nazi prison (1941-44). So much for being a "Nazi hero". I know Russians hate him, because he really hated

them.

Agree : Russians hate him and calling him a nazi

2) The war in Ukraine was started because Putin would be dead by now if Muscovites were allowed to see the Ukrainian people rising up against their corrupt leadership and set themselves free. Putin could not risk them getting any bright ideas. So he started a war that has cost nearly 10,000 lives and displaced over 1 million.

Disagree. Even Mrs Nuland admitted that the US spent around 4 billion dollars to organize withdrawal of Ukraine from Russian spheres of interest. Mr Soros spent billions on brainwashing Ukrainian kids at schools publishing text books spreading russophobia. Technically the war started because of the law which was prohibiting usage of Russian language as a second official language. Native Russians were against this which triggered the war.

3) Stalin is becoming popular in Russia again, too many people don't care about his crimes. He DID NOT save the USSR from Nazi Germany, he was the direct cause of it. In the 1930s he allowed the Germans to secretly train in the USSR, he purged the vast majority of Soviet officers, then teamed up with Hitler in the early years of WWII and finally, ignored warnings from his generals that Hitler was preparing to attack. What a hero.

Stalin was a bloody dictator killing millions of own citizens. Only Russian Communists support him in small amount. It was the Soviet people and heroism of the Red Army which led to victory over Nazi Germany. Nobody is making him a hero in Russia, everybody remember his crimes against own people.

4) Do you have a link to NATO deploying nukes in Poland and Romania? I don't think NATO has nukes in its arsenal. The USA sure does as do some other individual members. There was supposed to be a missile shield placed in Czech and Poland but Obama cancelled that when he took office. Romania doesn't have a border with Russia, and Poland has a border with Kaliningrad, but that is really German territory anyway.

Anti-misiles warheads can be replaced by nuclear ones in a matter of hours, what is needed is only to change some software. Poles or Romanians wouldn't even notice this. (Source: Russian Defence Ministry)

Rule number 1 - never ever start any fight or conflict with Thai men.

Maybe even Thai women should follow that rule, not only farangs.

1500 THB, such a penny.

RIP

Rule #2 - do not start romance with girls who are engaged or married.

Craig, you want me to post some links but not of the Russian origin. Do you want me to post CNN or BBC links or what? You do not believe Russian links, i do not believe western links.

The news about new and new terrorist attacks soon will be broadcasted as weather reports. RIP to all victims.

Go to Russia, go to Crimea and talk to people there. There you will see truth. Which links do you want me to provide? Visit Baltic states where all population has gone to EU to find work to survive and only government officials are native Baltic citizens, the rest of the population are native Russians. Hold a referendum in the Baltic states and you will be surprised and will immediately declare the referendum unlawful or whatever you would say. By the way, why were you in Maidan, a US citizen during coup d'etat? What were you doing there?

The IOC, FIFA, and the UN. The big three of corruption in organizations. The IOC

was/will never make the right decision. Too much money to be made. If you can't

make the right decision with the amount of evidence available, you just never will.

From Avery Brundage , Juan Antonio Samaranch, Jacques Rogge, and Thomas

Bach (who has his head firmly up Putin's ass) you will not find a bigger group of

racists, thieves and crooks. I used to be a huge Olympic fan. Now I am a informed

jaded, critic of all of them.

Partially agree with you. IOC, FIFA seems like became corrupted organizations. Olympic movement is loosing it's credibility. I would not say that UN can also be so hugely corrupted as it is technically impossible due to the Security Council. Russians should have boycotted this and all further Olympics and cancel football World Cup in Russia and stop wasting money inviting teams from the West who are shi##ing on non stop basis on Russia. Stop paying huge fees to these corrupted organizations like IOC, FIFA etc.

Craig, as i told you, your point of view will not be accepted by 90% of Russians, your position is pro - Western and not pro-truth. We have different views on what is truth. Continued discussion is pointless. Try saying what you have wrote on the Russian - Thai forums and you will see. I won't waste my time in useless discussions.

Craig, I do not agree with a single word which you are saying, we are in the opposite sides of the wall so I won't waste my time arguing with you. Your position is pro-western, there is nothing for us to explain to each other. I know what is happening in Russia, Ukraine but whatever I will say will be rejected. You can't accept my truth, so do I. Have a nice evening.

PS What did you do on Maidan square during coup, I guess you were not a tourist there?

Craig,

The sanctions can be imposed only by the decision of the UN, you know that very well.

Yes, the Russian economy has shown a little but growth especially in agricultural sector as Russians started their own production.

The absense of illusions about benefits of the Western democracy in the Russian society is not because of Putin but because of the West which by unknown reason refused itself to have good relations with Russia when it was such a chance during Gorbachev and Yeltsin's pro-Western governments. Russian were very happy when communism fell and they felt that the liberty has finally came. The result was opposite. Nato bombings of Serbia (a Russian ally) and so on.

Chechnya - i am sorry, it was occupied by Al-Quaeda and decided to become an independent state in 90s and the beginning of 2000x.. You know this very well.

Georgia first attacked Russian soldiers in Southern Ossetia and invaded capital Tshinval in 2008 and received what it should have received.

Ukrainean president Yanukovich fled to Russia because of the coup, now the country is ruled by groups of oligarchs and nazist who are even changing the names of the streets in cities to their Nazi heroes: Stepan Bandera etc.

Putin the Chekist Tsar must be involved.

Chekist and Tsar?

you know the meaning of these words?

Yes, I know the meaning of these words but there's another passenger on this forum called Publickus, he might give a better and more trendy information of these words

Milles pardons, Monsieur "Publicus" I hope I have not insulted his excellency Publicus with accidentally added "k" in his name, I admit my crime and I will write down 1000 times "Publicus" correctly in order not to make such a terrible mistake again

Of course Russians killed him, who else? In this wonderful, peaceful, cultural, intelligent, tolerant country called Ukraine which is ruled by oligarchs and nazis and is directed by we-all-know-how, only the bloody Tsar Chekist Putin could have designed that murder. Sometimes I feel that if tomorrow will be bad weather, it will be Putin's fault. The West is boring, not interesting, aggressive, arrogant, rude and unfair. Russians will remember this attitude for a very long time. There are no more illusions about so-called Western democracy in the Russian society. Russia should impose stronger sanctions on the West, as in fact, these unlawfully imposed sanctions on Russia have started boosting it's own economy which is now showing better results than some of the EU member states. Russia should protect itself from NATO aggression which is boldly deploying nuclear missiles on Russian borders and should certainly take measures against it.

Russia get green light to continue cheating...

The IOC did not have the balls to ban them from Rio...

If Sid James and the gang was still around they could do another Carry On film "Carry On Cheating"

A bad day for you, isn't it? Russia was allowed to participate in the Olympics. Continue cheating. You must be a sort of Jesus Christ without sins. Russia should freeze all relations with the West imho
