February 24, 20224 yr Is there already a declaration of war by Russia. Some newspapers I read say that the invasion of Ukraine is a declaration of war. But the Thai newspapers doesn't mention a war. What will the impact of a possible war Russia - Ukraine be to Thailand (and most important to the expats)?
February 24, 20224 yr Popular Post Yes evil Putin has declared war based on lies. The world changed today. This is much bigger than Ukraine.

Unless you run a haulage firm, airline etc. Or if you buy goods moved by haulage firms. Just about every single thing you touch on a daily basis was transported to you using hydrocarbon fuels. Raw materials sent to China by ship. Then transported by road to factories. The factories transport their finishef products to ports. More ships to get your goods to Thailand. Lorries. Delivery vans. Motorcycles. If every single company and person in that supply chain is paying more then you cannot expect to pay the same.
February 24, 20224 yr Battles are now taking place at Chernobyl, as russia has the nuke plant there as a target. Woe to Europe as that radioactivity is let loose. putin is insane, reckless, and evil.
February 25, 20224 yr Anybody who thinks this doesn't have the potential to boil over is probably naive. For those who may have forgotten, the last time there was an incursion into Ukraine it resulted in the shooting down of Malaysian Flight 17https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-28357880

I've been thinking the same since day one of the sabre-rattling. Then yesterday, when Putin was shown on television saying that Ukraine was historically Russian, I had the confirmation. Now, let me think. What other countries does Putin consider to be historically Russian? All that were part of the Soviet Union (USSR) or only a few selected ones?

Clearly not only Ukraine, and forget about "talks" and "negotiating" with him. May as well wake up and smell the coffee.

It has been an unusual Biden tactic to widely share intelligence about Putin's false flags and invasion plans. This accomplished at least two things. Way fewer people believed Putin's false flag dirty tricks and he destroyed their element of surprise. No sadly it didn't prevent Putin from war crimes but arguably nothing could have stopped him from invading.

February 27, 20224 yr Check updated other new sources ( that can't be mentioned) reporting Putin has put his nuke defenses on standby so I'd forget worrying about the price of petrol.

The "other news sources" you refer to are blocked mainly because the information they provide is likely misinformation. What ones do you think are reputable? Facebook? Fox news? OAN? Newsmax? Don't refer to some unmentionable source if you can't corroborate the info elsewhere. It is likely to be incorrect.

Do you understand how, giving U.S. intel to enemy states, assists those states in understanding how the U.S. developed that intel?
