What a load of absolute BS. According to Aljazeera AKA the Jew hating network, Phuket locals are angry that Russians are investing 100's of millions of dollars in the Phuket economy especially real estate. Russians are escaping the war? The war is in Ukraine not Russia. Full scale invasion? The people investing the money are well off citizens not the the poor bastards who get conscripted into the army. If your idea of what is happening in the war coincides with CNN Aljazeera BBC Forbes headlines you should seriously rethink your reality and your place in it.
