Well... ya gotta pay for quality

Putin Accepts Invites to Visit Thailand, Vietnam NOW! This is going to ruffle up more than a feather or two, for sure! Let the fun start! Full article

Yes, "small matter of Putin having an international arrest warrant" !!!

Does it mean that the entire world should agree 100% with the West and reject ALL that the West has rejected? Is the West doing the best for ALL the human race?

How true! Very true!

It will take another couple of millenniums for the human race to reach such a high state of intelligence - if ever!

You are right. I too went to work in Saudi and did not pay anything - that was around 1983. But today, people pay millions to get work abroad (especially in the developing countries) - no these people all are NOT fools, it's desperation. For example, if a Thai national (or any other national from a non privileged country) wants to visit the US, UK, EU etc on a holiday, the procedure is unbelievably complicated - and if rejected the applicant lose ALL their money. But, it helps to apply through an agent, at an enormous cost... for whatever reason. (no, I am not referring to people who wants to over-stay illegally) The Thai immigration procedure seems a piece of cake, comparatively. Sad, but this is reality!

Honestly, you think so?

Just live and let live... More the merrier! Don't take take opposing views to heart. My ignore list is ZERO - and it will stay that way.

So much for the so called civilised human beings...

I was accidently 'hovering' over my profile icon and saw this drop-down; Elsewhere I see something like this;

Whatever happens, it is the poor who are always penalised.

Agree 100% Most times, the loaded look in the wrong places for nice ladies.

Thailand remains neutral on Israeli-Palestine conflict Great. The best they can do right now, under the current circumstances.

Seriously, who would choose a country to holiday in, just for the sake of a free SIM? Even if the data & talk time was free for a week?

Where "international law" is concerned, it is NOT "what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander" - that's a FACT, it ALWAYS was. The worlds got to accept it.

With terrorism, nothing is predictable. Like mushrooms, different groups popup in the least expected moments/places.

Problem is, in this situation how to separate the two - if not, perfect solution.

"Neutral means they condone the slaughter of civilians, including the murder of infants." Absolutely disagree. Would supporting either side make one a brave nation? This type of conflicts are obviously supported/involves powerful international politics in the background. Hence, countries taking a neutral stance, would minimise attracting unwanted political fury towards them later on. It's easy to be a Rambo in an anonymous forum - but governments need to think of the detrimental repercussions that may arise due to their decisions, where-by the innocent citizens of their own will suffer. Only terrorists and psychopaths would condone the slaughter of civilians, including the murder of infants, for any reason.

How was Israel caught totally unawares on this incident? Any logical explanation?
