Does it really matter?  Does it really matter?  Its a war.     Its not a geography game.    They will get a task, they will do their best. Thats how army works.  Do you think they will be given a map and compass and be instructed to take out Putin?    

They are standing up for democracy, something they cant easily do here. Hats off to any of them that proceed. 


Im guessing you have a great grasp of the surroundings, when you heading there? 

Nothing to do with democracy, which can only be raised by political education, conscious organised action and not by gun barrel (which contradicts thinking and rational solution to problem, including diplomatic once in case of an international conflict). 
 

any war is antidemocratic, order given by a leader to kill the others, thinking, looking different. 
 

nothing as spanish international volunteers corp, who were ideologically motivated, nothing as those thai mercenaries, brainless, unconscious killing machines, guns for hire, assassins, for whom only money matters and they dont have a clue about the country, conflict, politics

Excellent. Not only shows courage on the part of these youth, but also shows how morally bankrupt the leadership here is. Let us contrast this. The youth are willing to fight for a democratic nation that is on the right side of history, while the toxic, barely legitimate, cowardly dinosaurs are unwilling to even go as far as criticizing Russia, for fear of losing some money.

 

Humanity vs. cash. Youth vs. dinosaurs. Right vs. wrong. Change vs. regression. Vigor vs. decay and absolute rot.

I reckon all leaders here, wearing a uniform have very little knowledge about real military work.

Bit of a random post, there's no leaders going there to fight is there?

This is pretty hilarious when you consider they sat still while a Military Junta overthrew its own Thai government....Then again "Thais with military experience" may have been part of that overthrow problem...so again hilarious in this context

What a ridiculous comment.

Please don’t sign up, brave Thai soldier. When even Nato won’t dare to stand against Russians, what chance do you have? You will be annihilated in a nanosecond. Do not make your mama cry over you

[sqwakvfr]

A) If you actually can make it  into Ukraine then you are pretty much "At Your Own Risk".  Doubt the Urkainian Goverment will ask if you medical insurance?  Even if you have insurance "War Zone" exclusion will probably apply

B) One would have to fly themselves to Poland, Hungary, or Romania and then find ground transportation to the Ukraine border

C) if one actually can get into Ukraine and then get into combat does anyone really believe NATO(it actually stands for NO ACTION TALK ONLY) will medically evacuate you???

 

The ideal type of foreign fighters to assist Ukraine would be PMC;s (Private Military Companies). I have worked in the past for a couple of these organizations and believe some are probably ramping up right now?  Yes, Blackwater has rebranded several times and are still in business.  Keep in mind names like Dyn Corp, Constellis and see if certain foreign forces in Ukraine who are well equipped with western weapons(AR-15's etc) and equipment (Armored Vehicles) are observed to be operating.

‘I did not join Ukraine as a Thai national, but as a human being’: former airman volunteers to fight Russian invasion

 

When Chanapong arrived yesterday morning at Ukraine’s Bangkok embassy on Wireless Road, he carried a passport and proof of his military experience. He told its staff that he was there to enlist to help Ukraine’s army fight off Russian invaders. 

 

“I want the Ukrainian people to know that they are not alone,” he said in an interview last night, identifying himself only by his first name. “If they ask for help, I’m willing to answer.”

 

In Thailand, the Ukrainian Embassy in Bangkok has publicized an email address for those who want to enlist.

Just one answer, Fight.

 

They are going from all over the world to help including the UK

 

The UK foreign secretary, Liz Truss, said on Sunday that Britons who chose to go to Ukraine to fight would “absolutely” have her support.

An army can only be defeated by another army. "Rambo" here can not help because it is not a movie. Russian has experience with soldiers of fortune in the Syria. He has little chance of surviving.

Forget Rambo and come back down to planet earth.

 

Do you have to survive to do the right thing? Some times when standing up to tyranny, in the name of freedom people have more guts than the cowards who invade with large armies on the pretext that its a battle to quash nazi's and instead bomb residential area's committing war crimes.

Really?? Fighting for Ukraine?? Why dont they fight in their own country against illegal occupation by military?? I guess they did in 2010 when Junta deployed snipers on it's own people. 

Likely to mainly be for the FB selfie's they'll get.

[JimTripper]

If my country was invaded I would just leave and not fight unless people's safety were at risk while fleeing. It's not worth it for me to fight for a country and it's easier to just move.

Because it is just that easy for most people, right?

"Oooh there's a war, think I'll go somewhere else, let me book a flight".

If you watch the youtube channel for Johnny FD you will see that just yesterday he and another youtuber bald and bankrupt caught the train from Kyiv to Poland to escape.  The train was packed with mostly young 20-30 something men and women.  Millenians and Z gen have no chance to buy property, so why the <deleted> would they hang around.

At least they are doing something to help instead of sitting on their butts...

 

What will you do to help the Ukraine?

Why don't you put your money where your mouth is, go over to Russia or the Ukraine and volunteer to fight the nasty Ukrainian's?

 

You could exterminate all those Ukrainian neo Nasties.

I subscribe to 'bald and bankrupt', genuine guy who makes some interesting videos. I suspect the video you refer to is this one.... Leaving Kyiv On A Refugee Train

 

That is a lie about the train packed with mostly young 20-30, looked like mothers and children to me.

Funnily enough when I served with the Royal Air Force every year we had rifle practice and exercises that we took part in. If all the aircraft were destroyed, we,were then deployed as local defence troops.

 

Were you ever in the military?

Burma is a lot closer, neighbors actually. Why not go there? The gov't is shooting people in the head left and center.

 

At least that way you benefit a lot more as it cleans up what's right around you.

There is a Facebook group move out of Thailand, or something like that. Many are disgusted with the current government, the current law 112 and see no hope that Thailand will get a decent government who promotes freedom of speech, democracy and justice for all. For many Thai, going to an operational theater of war is better than having a life in Thailand.

I dont think in war torn country there is much space for freedom of speech, democracy and justice, for which they strove. That until they join peace corp - but that is volunteering, no payment
