If you can’t comprehend the message in the statement where they even include the infringed human rights of the Ukrainians of which they have been deprived then it’s pointless carrying on, goodnight

Of course, everyone bemoans the infringed human rights of the Ukrainians. Except it's not clear who's at fault: Russians, Nato, Banderites, ... Certainly the Thais don't accuse anyone in that statement.

Please don't go. It's late and I'm lonely. We can still be friends.

We do know either way, read the Thai statement on the first page of this thread by Thailand. Thailand does not recognize the new territories. 

Nowhere does it say Thailand does/does not recognize the four newly-acquired Russian oblasts. It does make a statement of general principle in Art. 1 against "unprovoked acquisition ..." but doesn't accuse Russia of any wrongdoing. And in the next Art. 2 it declares the situation as too volatile to choose sides.

Smart diplomacy by Thailand in waiting for the ground realities to sort themselves.

Thai’s have also not recognized the new annexed regions or boundaries announced by Russia. 

Interesting question, we don't know either way yet. But here would be hypothetical test: If a resident of Luhansk (with address proof) applies for a Thai visa using a Russian passport at the Moscow Thai embassy, will he be turned down and told "sorry, wrong country, try Ukraine".

I would be curious to know.

Sham votes with guns pointed. Recognized as legit by almost no other countries.

Ah, the world according to US/CNN/NYT. Yes, of course one must believe.

There were no elections to join Russia, a sham show was all it was and recognized as such.

Again you prove yourself less capable of questioning propaganda than Thais.

It really says something when the only countries that agree with Russia are NK, Nicaragua, Belarus and Syria. A real pirate crew.

If you've been following recent news you'll know that China, India and OPEC+ have all sided with Russia in actions that actually matter, e.g., buying Russian exports, raising oil prices, etc. Now, that is a real pirate crew.

Pretty sure they said they respect Ukraines territorial boundaries.

Of course, everyone does. Except these boundaries have now shrunk outside the four provinces that voted to join Russia.

They also voted in the previous UN motion to condem Russias invasion into Ukraine and leave immediately.

Now they have done the right thing. Tell me you never made a mistake you rectified later.

Oh and link to the higher IQ of Thai’s as opposed to the West?

Well, I would say the ability to form their own judgment of what's going on in Ukraine and critically question US propaganda indicates a superior intellect than most supposedly advanced western countries.

Dang, how did you figure out my kink?

Kudos to Thailand for brushing off US pressure. In any case, hopefully the war will be over before APEC (and Putin) arrive in town mid-Nov with no-nonsense Surovikin now in charge of Russian forces.

Sorry I am late to this thread. Who won?  Yayers or nayers?

File a suit against your parents for year after year, encounter after encounter, of depleted sexual pleasure.

Jeez, if you're with a stranger use protection, Prep, see test results, etc. etc., which applies whether you're cut or not. Sex ed, not slashing.

When would a 7-year-old need to know about this and is there an established procedure for teaching young boys to do it properly?

A friend had it done in his early 20's, he said that sexual pleasure was half deadened and only about 50% as pleasurable it was before the operation.

A colleague had it done, on a doctor's recommendation, as he tended to ejaculate prematurely which was causing problems in a newly married relationship. It solved the issue but one suspects so would have desensitizing cream. He was probably the victim of an overeager surgeon.

A passing interest in the topic.

More than that I would hazard, sir. No doubt you have skin in the game.

Why fix it if it ain't broke? Benign it may be but it's still mutilation so let the kid decide when he's old enough.
