Confuscious Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 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)?

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.

Scott Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Anybody who thinks this doesn't have the potential to boil over is probably naive.

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? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you understand how, giving U.S. intel to enemy states, assists those states in understanding how the U.S. developed that intel? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
