How is it even possible that this guy is still breathing? Not that I wish anything bad to happen to him, but you would think that the powers that be - the RTP in particular- would want to shut this guy up for good quite desperately.

That is the whole problem, being in the RTP is just very profitable. That’s why people are willing to pay millions of baht to get higher up in the hierarchy, because the higher up you get, the more money you rake in. It’s basically just one big Ponzi scheme.

There is plenty of evidence of torture by Russian troops, hundreds of accounts of victims, and plenty of intercepted phone calls from Russian soldiers to their loved ones back home. At least the Russian guy in this video has the decency to apologize.

Things are becoming weirder and weirder in Russia: Stalin Monument Unveiled to Mark 80th Anniversary of Stalingrad Victory. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2023/02/01/stalin-monument-unveiled-to-mark-80th-anniversary-of-stalingrad-victory-a80113 It does make sense, though, that Putin would advocate the revival of worshiping one of the most vicious dictators ever.

I’m very cynical when it comes to Thailand and its future with such a corrupt system, it just seems to get worse and worse. Or maybe it’s been this bad all along and more comes to light now. Singapore used to be quite corrupt as well, until Lee Kuan Yew came to power in 1959 and cleaned house. And I mean he cleaned house like nobody’s business: Singapore is now number 5 in the corruption index. That is a huge accomplishment. I’m not saying I was a big fan of Lee Kuan Yew, I don’t really like autocratic leaders, but this is one thing he got right, and which was very good for the country. So it is possible to turn a corrupt country around, it just takes strong leadership, determination and probably a lot of time. I’m not holding my breath when it comes to Thailand, though….

According to quite a few conspiracy believers we already have “one world govt”.

China and India both have more than four times the population of the USA. Why aren’t they more powerful then?

So it’s just a matter of size? Bit simplistic, isn’t it? Russia is almost twice as big as the USA, so it should be twice as powerful then, according to your logic.

If all career politicians failed, then how did the USA end up being the super power that it has been for decades? Surely they must have done something right?

If I want a good laugh I will watch Faux News once in a blue moon. Other than that, I tend to stay well away from those lunatic propaganda outlets, they’re pure poison.

To be honest, NATO is more or less at war with Russia. They are supplying Ukraine with huge loads weapons (and probably share all kinds of intel as well) out of sheer necessity, otherwise Russia would by now be threatening the Baltics, and Poland, and all the other former eastern bloc countries. To be clear: this is all on Russia, they started this war, and NATO is just reacting. Nothing wrong with standing up to a big bully.

“Commander of Thai Police Orders Full Investigation of Alleged Extortion Case of Taiwanese Actress” Translation: “Do everything that you can to sweep this under the rug and put the blame on her.”

Isn’t this the guy who wanted to jack up hotel room prices to line his own pockets?

“TAT to Spend 1.9 Billion for Campaigns to Attract More Tourists” At least half of which will disappear into the very deep pockets of corrupt TAT officials and their ‘sponsors’ higher up the food chain.

“Police deny extorting money from Taiwanese actress” Of course they deny it, what else would you expect from such an honorable and honest institution? The RTP would deny it even if there were pictures of police officers holding a gun to her head and the actress handing over the 27,000 baht.

Putin is a reckless, emotional leader who has boxed himself into a terrible information bubble.

Not just the RTP, the whole country. This one made me laugh especially: ”it has been reported that Thai PM Prayuth Chan-ocha in his capacity as chair of the Police Commission has demanded punishment for police.” So the biggest grifter of them all wants punishment for one (or several) of his underlings for doing something that Dear Leader does as well, only on a much grander scale. The hypocrisy is appalling.

A short-tempered amoral general who’s best chums with the murderous regime in Myanmar. Just the kind of upstanding guy you want running your country….

I read about those resistance groups. Incredibly brave people, because we all know the fate that awaits them if they get caught.

How petty can you be? In the case of Russia: very.

Nonsense. Putin and his regime have made it very clear that they want to restore Russia to what it was before the iron curtain and the Berlin wall went down. That includes countries such as Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia and Poland, which all happen to be members of NATO. But apart from that, what you’re basically saying is that Russia can invade any country they like, as long as they don’t invade any country in NATO, is that it?

I reacted to this link: https://www.thedailybeast.com/putins-henchmen-threaten-tens-of-thousands-of-dead-us-troops?ref=scroll It says right in that link: Putin’s henchmen threaten tens of thousands of dead US troops. So why are you asking me why I am talking about US soldiers? I’m not talking about US soldiers, The Daily Beast is, in that link. So take it up with them. Jeez.
