Typical and quite predictable.

Oh PLEASE you wise and noble one, praytell what is this 'backstory', because sane people with even a modicum of morality see it this way:

 

little vladdy is painfully insecure because the impish Universe was particularly miserly when it was handing out male junk. He is also a psychopath who orders the killing of critics like Alexander Litvinenko, Boris Nemtsov, Anna Politkovskaya, etc. He thinks big land = big (nickname for Richard)., and the collapse of the former ussr was a proxy for announcing to the world vladdy came up short in the shorts.

 

Yes, NATO has grown since the glorious collapse of the ussr, but it grew with good reason. Nations from Estonia to Romania had bad memories of what trying to live under ussr occupation was like, and they sought safety. Collectively these new NATO members represented ZERO threat to anyone or anything, except they stood in the way of little vladdy pretending he was manly in the manly department.

 

Thus, little vladdy the coward psycho invaded a peaceful country and began trying to slaughter as many innocent people as it might take to get Ukraine to cry 'uncle'. Of course little vladdy, being an abject coward himself (note his 30' table which screams COWARD), couldn't imagine that Ukraine was full of brave and courageous men and women who would stand up and fight for the right to be free and not be a vassal state of a psychopathic butcher. little vladdy absolutely could not understand how a man who came into the public eye as a comedian could be built of stuff of which little vladdy could not even dream. Zelenskyy is a MAN in every sense, while little vladdy is the polar opposite.

 

little vladdy's brutal invasion is failing because his own unmotivated, poorly trained, and poorly equipped troops are being hammered by the courageous men and women of Ukraine. More than 25,000 of the invaders are now dead. Many billions of dollars of russian equipment has been destroyed. Absent immoral, self-serving national leaders like the one Thailand suffers under, the rest of the world is united against the invaders and stands firmly and resolutely with the people of Ukraine.

 

As things get worse inside russia, and more and more babushkas find out their sons were rightfully killed in their heinous war of aggression, the domestic situation might change in russia. Perhaps someone like SVR Chief Naryshkin will do the needful and eliminate the little man who brought so much pain and suffering to the civilians of Ukraine, Grosny, Aleppo and even Georgia, and send the guy straight to Hell.

 

Your 'backstory' is different?  Give little vladdy or his mouthpiece lavrov a call to get the approved talking points. Just don't expect any rational or moral person to buy into your mendacious drivel.

What back story, that a peaceful independent country is attacked by the big bully next door? Can't see any other backstory unless you believe Putin's propaganda.

Right, never mind that people are being massacred elsewhere, what really counts is to get the Thai economy back on track.

 

A predictably disgusting, narrow-minded and self-centered attitude.

The Western world may well end up with the Western half of Ukraine only. The industrial and resource rich Eastern part is gone.

 

Either way, the Western world meddling in wars it doesn't understand has led to one catastrophe after another. Thailand is right to stay out of it.

Vietnam indeed became a communism country since 1975,  the year USA was booted out from Southern Vietnam. 

Yes,  communist Vietnam,  so what ?

 

I presume you may be  old enough knowing USA was telling and selling the concept in 1960's and 1970's that if Vietnam turned communist,  domino effect would have been taken over the whole region and eventually everywhere.   False USA propaganda made Shameful USA exit from Southern

Prayut is a embarrassment to Thailand !!  You are a Standing Member of The United Nations and your Neutral on Russian Invasion of Ukrainian, What an embarrassment to Thailand and it’s people. Even Neutral Countries like Finland and Sweden want to consider membership in The United Nations !! 

ประยุทธ์เป็นเหตุให้ไทยต้องอับอาย !!  คุณเป็นสมาชิกถาวรของสหประชาชาติและเป็นกลางในการรุกรานยูเครนของรัสเซีย ช่างเป็นเรื่องที่น่าอับอายสำหรับประเทศไทยและประชาชน  แม้แต่ประเทศเป็นกลางอย่างฟินแลนด์และสวีเดนก็ยังต้องการพิจารณาเป็นสมาชิกในองค์การสหประชาชาติ !!

The Ukraine war is the major reason why fertilizer prices have gone up so much, and that is certainly a Thai rice farmer’s business. So Prayut is condoning the actions of the guy in the Kremlin causing those price rises.

 My wife’s family have decided to only plant enough rice for them this year, it’s just not economical to do anything else. Apparently quite a few others are thinking the same way. If the rice harvest is down this year because of the cost of fertilizer does that make Russia’s invasion Thailand’s business ?

Hello ,

 

Those who Ignore Dictators and Oppressors , They soon will be knocking at your door !!

Not to mention Thailand ???????? Is a Standing Member of The United Nations , Even non members like Finland and Sweden are considering joining !! Prayut is an Embarrassment to the Global Community !! DID WE NOT LEARN ANYTHING FROM WORLD WAR -2  !!!??

While it won't help this season,staying neutral and paying for fertilizer in roubles will bring the price back down in the future.

It's not even about Putin; Burns (ex-ambassador Moscow) thought any Russian leader would react as he has. US still fanning the flames by throwing in more armament and obstructing peace talks.

No need to be so condescending in your tone mate. We're having a debate here.

 

Now tell me of one single case since WW2 where western meddling in foreign wars ended in any other way than total disaster, misery, death, displacement and destruction?

 

Korea? Vietnam? Afghanistan? Iraq? Syria? Libya? Laos? Yugoslavia? Cambodia? Central America? And now you support Western meddling in Ukraine based on feed from the same corporate media that brought us nonexistent WMD.

How short-sighted of you to bash Thailand, when we are doing the right thing here. 

 

The US stirred this conflict up as they will/are benefit from it; exactly like they did when they invaded Iraq for absolutely no valid reason, yet you want Thailand to join with these forces, my God, the world is going mad.
