Popular Post snoop1130 Posted April 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2022 Image Credit: Ministry of Foreign Affairs Thailand and China share four common aims concerning the situation of Ukraine after their consultation in Huangshan in Anhui, China, over the weekend, according to an informed source. The source said that, during the discussion between Thai Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai and his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on the situation in Ukraine, they agreed on four common aims, namely to support the continued Russia-Ukraine peace talks and agreement, prevent large-scale humanitarian crises and provide humanitarian assistance in a timely manner, the curbing of the negative spill-over effects and sustaining global economic recovery and, finally, the safeguarding of hard-won peaceful development in the region and the world. These common aims were first defined by President Xi Jinping, during his summit with EU leaders last week.

Popular Post Brian Hull Posted April 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2022 In not condemning Putin's unprovoked and undeclared invasion of Ukraine both Thailand and China are complicit in the murder of thousands and displacement of millions of innocent people and $billions of damage.

unblocktheplanet Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 16 hours ago, SmartyMarty said: So do nothing then? Not surprising. Do what, exactly? Supporting peace talks is the only sensible option, along with humanitarian aid. At the end of all this--and it is impossible to foresee what outcome--Ukraine may well need a UN peacekeeping force. That can be perceived as much different than NATO. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capella Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) It's very sad to see what's happening in Ukraine, and any other war zone. War is hell, and it's sickening to see how the media and Hollywood glorifies it. That said, Ukraine really has nothing to do with Thailand. I don't blame the Thais for not engaging in direct action, or taking sides in ways that go beyond concern and calls for talks that lead to an end to the fighting.

Bruno123 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 But what were Thailand's views?? I read that the views were espoused by Xi to EU leaders....so they are China's stated views. Nothing to do with Thailand. So what humanitarian assistance is being given by Thailand and China? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcheech Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Thailand's policies & media coverage of the Russia Ukraine war mirrors Chinas. Surprise. what surprise?! Press releases about buying F35's when the US had not offered them for sale. Is best understood under this 'harmonization' of relations between China and Thailand.

But if we look deeper, we will find that doing nothing is better than supplying kerosene to burn the house down. It's obvious that the US started the fire n is sustaining it to weaken the economic n military might of Russia which it considers to be a systemic rival. The bad thing is that it's using Ukranians as a pawn n people are dying everyday n the whole world is made to pay more for everything due to it's selfish geopolitical action. Ukraine was already not a rich country to begin with n this devastation will likely require 30 years of rebuilding . You bet the US n the West will not be the ones paying for the bulk of it !! When you are fighting a rival that you mathematically cannot win, it makes sense to talk peace asap to reduce the loss of lives n economic damage. As it stands, the US has the most to gain as it could end up not only weakening a systemic rival but making money from arms n many things else. UK has nothing much to loss as it has it's own North Sea Oil . It will likely be the European countries who will succumb first as the EU politicians will be voted out of office if they cannot bring down inflation n the euro will devalue if they are forced to buy gas n other russian imports with rubles. Making use of people's country as a venue to fight a war to weaken a rival is obviously unethical. It becomes immoral when you are using that country's citizens as human pawns to fight too ..

It is only obvious that America started this particular fire if you are one of those who regards the USA as, if I might coin a phrase, "the great Satan". It rather reminds me of an American chap who joined a discussion I was having with a couple of friends. The Ukraine war, he announced was all the work of the CIA, and the NAZIS and the Jews we are also responsible! The Jews apparently have always been closely allied with Nazism! At that point he became decidedly swivel eyed, so we changed the subject... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
