If the worse happens in the war, what happens in Thailand?

Don't let western media gaslight you. The numbers are tiny. There'll always be a few draft dodgers. Putin is hugely popular as is the war to save ethnic Russians from Banderite thugs.

 

Hey, don't take my word for it. Talk to any of the thousands of Russians cavorting on the beaches here thanks to the strong ruble.

A friend of me who had been enrolled in many conflicts, told me the first thing that goes down, is trustable news about what's really going on in a war, no matter what side you are on. 

 

Propaganda war starts way before any invasion to form the opinion to swallow anything that comes out of so-called respectable news sources.

 

How many times did we here we are not at war, we are on a peace mission?

Absolutely right. Applying to both the West and Russia. But western propaganda that Putin wants to conquer Ukraine, and then more eastern European countries to reconstitute the Soviet Union is laughable nonsense easily debunked with a little reading.

A full scale nuclear war is a POSSIBLE excalation from the war.

Perhaps a tiny tiny percentage chance, perhaps higher, but the possibility is a FACT. 

 

So that's the starting point.

 

IF that occurs, then what happens in THAILAND?

No it isn't. No such thing will happen. Which I thought was relevant to a thread about preparing for something that's not going to happen.

Lots of Russian and Ukrainian and EU overstayers. Some with money, some with less.

Russian army may be hopeless, but clearly the Russian mob has influence here, or there wouldn't be Russian tail for sale in Bangkok and Pattaya, where there was even a club dedicated to tall blondes in Walking St. before Covid.

The numbers are tiny, but thousands of Russians are cavorting in Thailand?

We can't prove this, but can you?

Why is all of the EU against Russia?

Why did Russia destroy the very Eastern states it has now Annexed? 

If the population there was overwhelmingly pro Russia, why target it with artillery?

I can accept propaganda exists on both sides, but no side can hide artillery barrages. Because satellites.

Your answers are welcome, and I don't mean the usual "do your research" the onus is on YOU, to provide NEUTRAL evidence. For example, reports from China or India, being the only two "neutral" states I can think of. 

Even Nazi Germany had more mates than Putin does now!

Oh! Can you shoot radioactive fallout???

[Walker88]

Since no meteorologists, nuke scientists, weapons experts or physicians with expertise in radiation disease are going to show up, I will post an opinion from a former intel officer.

 

putin: As many will guess, putin is a psychopath. He is also a coward, and he has a painful insecurity complex. He's a little man in the manly way, just like 45 in the US (remember what Stormy said: "Not freakishly small, but well below average"). It is the source of his insecurity. The two guys are the same, the only difference being that russia is more open to autocracy and an absolute dictator, which is what 45 would like for himself.

 

putin is losing face now. The russian military and fighting men, once believed to be formidable, have been shown to be poorly trained, poorly equipped, disorganized, poorly led, with shoddy equipment, and simply weak. Calling up mobilized forces won't help. putin cannot even adequately supply the forces he has now, and recruits are not likely to be motivated. His mobilized forces will represent a Turkey Shoot for Ukrainian patriots.

 

putin will thus lose more face.

 

If up to putin he will use a tactical nuke, at least on Kyiv. It will be up to Naryshkin or a sane general or two to stop him. 50-50 they can succeed. If they succeed, putin is dead and the war ends. If they fail, Kyiv is dead.

 

West Response:  The US will move incredible amounts of weapons into NATO border nations as well as to the surviving military forces in Ukraine. Some of those Ukrainian forces will attack wherever they can reach in russia. They will start killing russian civilians en masse.

 

Every conceivable sanction against russia and russians will be imposed. The UK govt will retake Mayfair and Kensington. Sports teams will be seized. The remaining non-seized yachts will be seized, and yachts in supposed safe havens will be destroyed by SEAL teams. All banks accounts owned by russians will be seized, even in Switzerland. putin's girlfriend in Switzerland will be assassinated.

 

Around the world all russians will be fair game. They will be slaughtered en masse, whether they support the war or not. So many will be killed that law enforcement won't even bother to investigate; in fact, they will join in. Everywhere, including in Thailand, where there is ample stock of prey. Killing russians will become a fad. The threat of nuclear holocaust will have an effect on mass psychology, so while it might seem unthinkable that people will begin killing russians for sport, our worst instincts will come to the surface, driven by the prospect of total human annihilation.

 

The pain inside russia will be so severe that even his protectors and bodyguards will turn against him. He will get something between the Mussolini Treatment and the Qaddafi Treatment.

 

russian forces inside Ukraine, few of whom wanted to be there anyway, and who have been shown to be a paper tiger force wildly inferior to the highly motivated and organized Ukrainians, will abandon their weapons and try as best they can to get home before Ukrainians butcher them.

 

The West will not have to respond with nukes, because one tactical nuke used by putin will set off this chain reaction that will lead to his execution by his own people.

Good point and my thoughts too. How could the west strike back without escalating to Thermonuclear War and major destruction? I'd rather be in Thailand than London. Can they wait 2 weeks please?

Expand  

Dunno if someone else posted as can't be bothered to read the thread in its entirety. If they go nuke, it would be game on--meaning the end of the war by conventional means. All Russian positions in Ukraine and the Baltic Sea will be flattened very quickly by US / NATO. They are being watched 24-7. It will be bang bang bang bang, over to you Putin. If he escalates from there, then all Russian positions within Russia and elsewhere will be done.

[daveAustin]

But it is a very good question. What happens here? Thailand is probably one of the best places to be--not many enemies and well placed--albeit there'd be a run on the banks etc etc. I would personally get one's cash under one's mattress, fornicate like no tomorrow, drink lots and await the inevitable. Basically, if there is an exchange, it wouldn't be worth hanging around for too long. Anarchy.

Based on geography there are much better places much further away from Russia.

 

Speaking of neighbors  how about China. Would they be flooding south?

 

I assume the banks would just close.

 

I wouldn't assume paper money would mean anything.

 

Maybe gold but more like just survival commodities would have value 

[Jingthing]

Knowing Thai society, people  and government, would there be martial law a million percent shooting looters etc. or would things just devolve into full anarchy very quickly?

[JackGats]

I don't think you'd be better off in Thailand. You'd die a slower death that's all.
