Congress authorized troop deployment in Vietnam, but, because it did not issue a declaration of war on North Vietnam or the Viet Cong, the Vietnam War is, technically speaking, not considered a war in the United States. Something like a Special Military Operation then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandGuy Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Then question should not be "should....." but "When Thailand is gonna buy Russian Gas?" I wonder what the USA will do when Thailand does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambum Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 The only way to stop Putin from taking over countries when he feels like it is for the whole world (and that includes Thailand!) to refuse to deal with Russia, thereby ruining its economy. Unfortunately, the Russian people may suffer for a while as a result, but the end will justify the means as hopefully the populace will say "enough" and rise up and "depose" him. I think many Russians already (including a number of the Armed Forces) are unhappy with his agenda, so the cracks are beginning to appear. The alternative is unthinkable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricTh Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) The oil price now is too expensive. Thailand should start buying cheaper oil from whichever country they want. That should bring down oil prices Edited July 6, 2022 by EricTh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Aussieroaming Posted July 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2022 Ukraine earns money now from Russian oil and gas being pumped through Ukraine. Thailand should create business relationships with countries that benefit the Thai people. Ukraine has many supporters and wont begrudge Thailands decision. Ukraine allows the continued pumping of Russian oil and gas through its sovereign land for its own reasons and wouldn't stop if Thailand made a request for Ukraine to cease pumping Russia's oil and gas. Russia is in the wrong morally in my view but I have learnt that morals vary everywhere and my opinion is only mine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flossie35 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 6 hours ago, Guderian said: Not a good idea. There would be a chance that Thailand might end up subject to secondary US sanctions, and if they included the sort of financial sanctions imposed on Russia and Iran then the Thai banking system might end up locked outside SWIFT and foreigners would be unable to access their pensions and savings held abroad. On top of driving hundreds of thousands of retirees out of the country as a result, it would also single-handedly destroy the foreign tourism industry, unless visitors are willing to pay for everything in gold or crypto. The US can't sanction everyone! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtrnuno41 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 They better act fast. In EU they are very slow and now Uniper, located Germany (Finnish) gas supplier is in big trouble and with that all of EU. All is connected with each other, so whole EU is getting into problems. The company is almost bankrupt and need financial support. And Germany (maybe EU?) HAS too do so, otherwise lots of problems. For household and industrie every where in EU. Another thing is 11 juli there would be normal maintenance on the gas pipeline from Russia and the question is, will Russia open the pipeline again? Hurray for all our "leaders", again they mess up the whole world. Could there be a criminal organization, like a Spectre? Yeah yeah, it is from James Bond, but... many weird things happened when we entered the new age. There was SARS, MERS and later covid. Financial crisis in 2008, then we had covid, now Russia, with included an energy crisis and in that time a breakdown in digital coins. And not to forget climate change. It is a weird time (again or still?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to buy petrol for, what is it now, 37 baht? Now i pay in "my "country 92 baht/LTR. I have to drive to Belgium, where it is 72 Baht, combining it then with buying tobacco, also cheaper.

SunnyinBangrak Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Yes of course Thailand should buy cheap Russian oil and gas. The war between NATO/Biden/Ukraine and Russia has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Thailand or its people. Getting involved in skirmishes that have nothing to do with you is a great way to end up with egg on your face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
