Thailand will not rush to condemn Russia over Ukraine, says Foreign Minister Don

[thailand49]

Not surprise doing so would go against your true and future Master  "China "  to speak the truth you got to have some fortitude so you don't soil yourself when ask to do the right thing. 

[Millcx]

By sitting on the fence Thailand and their cowardly officials will pay dearly when dust settles

the rest of World will not forget what they are doing

TAT won’t save them with their propaganda 

[tandor]

...should hand over the reins to a ladyboy; at least they have the balls to make simple decisions.

[Skeptic7]

Embarrassing and outrageous comment. All this country knows is greed and playing for handouts. The only situation he's referring to is possible loss of "Frussian" rubles. Truly wish this ridiculous stance would backfire on Thailand's clown car junta in a major way. Thailand kisses a$$ of the likes of China, Saudi and the "Frussians". Says all that need be known about these clowns. The West should now put the hammer down on any and all "Frussian" supporters.

Got to make sure those Russian tourists will still be coming to Thailand.

For a country that prides itself on having Buddhism as one of the three pillars of state, Thailand shows remarkable flexibility in its interpretation of that philosophy. One might almost be tempted to say that morality here is driven solely by selfish considerations, not the least of which is the god Mammon.

You did forget to tell that the 2nd and 3th pillars are Bathism.

Russia, Belarus, North Korea, Iran, Pakistan, China....and Thailand.

Shame.

Each and everyone of them dictatorial in their 'governance' methods. Pariahs to the rest of the world.

[Stargeezr]

So the leaders of Russia, Belarus, North Korea, Iran, Pakistan, China, Venezuela,  Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, , and 

 Idi Amin of Uganda, are either in Hell now, or will reside there in the future. That is my opinion of these and a few other

people. Then the Thai leaders as dragging their feet in having an opinion of Russia. Wow, Amazing indeed.

Posted worldwide on Facebook. Just when you thought this government couldn't stink more, after it refused to condemn the Myanmar military thugs for removing the government and murdering anyone who didn't agree, Thailand refuses to condemn Russia while also looking for ways to break sanctions against the country.

 

Sadly, as Thailand is an insignificant South East Asian backwater known primarily for ladyboys and prostitutes with no influence in anything anywhere outside of its borders, no-one will know or care what Thailand does or thinks.

The dodgy countries either support Putin or fail to condemn the invasion

Also the Russian people need to act now and remove this idiot from power before he starts throwing nukes around.

The rest of the world doesn't give a rat's fart about Thailand. It has no importance to anyone anywhere, except those who live within its borders.

[TheFishman1]

Not really surprising during World War II the government here a lot of the Japanese to do whatever they wanted as long as the Japanese would not attack them also it’s all about money they don’t wanna do anything to upset China who really runs this place anyways TIT

[Hulu]

Serbia,Irak,Libanon,Syria in the Name of Western Demokratie .?????

[jerrymahoney]

While the obvious sentiment in this topic is that Thailand could have issued a forceful condemnation of the Russian actions, maybe their restraint was in deference to all the citizens of the two countries who are now short and long-term residing in Thailand and facing personal hardships just remaining in Thailand -- and to assume that ALL Russian citizen are supporting Putin is just silly.

A few more days until the Ukrainian army ceases to exist as a military body. Most of you guys here are clueless, living in the western media echo chamber. Brace yourselves for a big surprise.

Are you Russian ?

[Rig Pig]

Unbelievable that the government allowed this fool to speak. If they want to support the Russian invasion of the Ukraine they should at least do it behind closed doors!

[Henryford]

When China invades Taiwan will they condemn that?

Russia will neutralize the threatening military force and denazify Ukraine. These are the stated goals. Both are going as planned. Vast majority of Ukrainian people are normal people but there are bad nationalistic flies in the ointment that must be purged. This is exactly what is happening. The world preferred not to notice, now it’s going to pay the economic price.

Purging a certain element of a population based on their religious, cultural or political leanings!  You mean like ethnic cleansing?

Perhaps from there they should move on to the 'final solution' and the creation of 'lebensraum' for their own pure breeds?

Who are the Nazis?

[Eloquent pilgrim]

I cannot articulate my contempt for this man, but please, if you can, make a donation to the Ukrainian Red Cross. They are an accredited charity working with local organisations in Ukraine. They are in desperate need of medical and humanitarian supplies to help the Ukrainian victims of this atrocious war. Any amount you can afford will be both helpful and greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance for your kindness ???????????????????? ✌️✌️

He has talked of re-establishing the 'glorius'* soviet union - we shoulda had sanctions then.

I wouldn't expect anything else from a country with such an inept, uneducated and totally self-scented society.

[TKDfella]

Cowardice and Selfishness in the extreme. The only 'situation' that might be made worse by Putin's chosen conflict/war, is Thailand's own. Must not upset the Russians for fear of loss of tourists, or those already here. The average Russian civilian cannot go anywhere anyway because back in Russia as sanctions bite they haven't the money. There is no 'natural path' in war, which has a direction solely chosen by the aggressor and where defenders either surrender or retaliate. The Ukrainian invasion could easily change the state of Europe for good (not sure if that will be true of the US and S. Americas) and if Thailand does not connect one way or the other, Thailand might be left further behind than it already is.

[Expat68]

Shame on you Thailand. Money talks as usual in Thailand

[Daimler]

Typical Thailand wants the best of all worlds for itself. Just like when the Japanese were losing the second world war.

They go with the money.

They need a coup, and since there is no royalty left in Russia it wouldn't even be Treason.

[Balance]

Another brilliant statement completely devoid of meaning.

[brianthainess]

Regimes always seem to support each other or sit on the fence while atrocities continue unabated.

My thoughts exactly.......however........if he is to be removed from power I doubt the 'people' can achieve it.

 

It might come down to one incredibly brave (or incredibly greedy) individual in his inner circle putting a bullet in his head......Ceaușescu style.

Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai said today (Tuesday) that Thailand may need to fine-tune its policy on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but it will not rush to condemn Russia, like many other countries have done, because it will not help to improve the situation.

Sit on the fence specialists.
