John Drake Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 The UN votes 143 yea to 5 nay to condemn Russia's annexation referenda. 35 countries abstained. Thailand was one of the abstainers. Same day Putin is announced to come to APEC meeting in Bangkok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 So approximately, 25% aren't exactly in favor of. vs the 75% being controlled economically by the other G7/8/20 countries their economies depend on, whether through trade agreements or foreign aid to. Very democratic ... the UN is a politicalized joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You better look at the countries that voted in favour, they are certainly not all dependent on the G7 any more than those who abstained 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very democratic ... the UN is a politicalized joke. They are more than welcome to not trade with G7/8/20 countries or turn down the foreign aid..... On the one hand its bad that they are 'controlled'- we dont want to be 'controlled' but we still want to trade and take the money..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he sees it as a " get out of jail free card"? Foreign trip, coup d'etat whilst he is abroad? Opportunity to retire and enjoy the fortune he has squirreled away? Probably not, but oh the irony if Thailand ends up being the country visited when a foreign president is ousted! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However he's got every right to come and Thailand has never been picky to whom they crawl into bed with. He is upset that well informed people are not buying the propaganda he is peddling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I find amusing is how anti-Trump supremacists refuse to acknowledge the atrocities certain recent presidents committed, and focus on one guy, who of was still in office, would have prevented this war, instead of stirring it up for political benefit. B.S.! It's often the same people who were against the Bush scam war in Irak, against the bombing of Yemen with U.S. made weapons, etc... who are now against Putin. Your assumption that the orange guy would have prevented the invasion of Ukraine by Russia is not even worth commenting.

Only to some extent as there are few alternative pipelines which can be used by Russia to export its gas. It is necessary to liquefy gas, store it, and send it by special tankers. Russia has only a limited capacity to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have problems understanding this,what threat was the Ukraine to the Russians? Ukraine has historically served as a buffer state for Russia and western Europe as there are no natural borders. US has been meddling in Ukraine for at least twenty years. It is alleged that Putin would have been satisfied with a cessation of hostilities based upon Ukrainian agreement not to join NATO. Pepe Escobar has covered and written on this extensively. Boris Johnson went to Ukraine and informed that nation it wasn't going to happen. They were going to fight till the last Ukrainian for Russian regime change. As I stated in an earlier post the US would have none of this. Case in point Venezuela, Cuba and the wars, instability of central America 70s until present. Monroe Doctrine. Never ending war takes money out of your pocket and into tax coffers. The money is then given to the MIC to fund forever wars around the globe. Politicians, international BANKERS and Media conglomerates $$ No one gives a damn about Ukrainian peasants. Zelenski, comedian and gay dancer in third world country is worth millions. You are broke. Wake up. Edited October 16, 2022 by BonMot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelenski, comedian and gay dancer in third world country is worth millions. You are broke. Wake up. Alleged by who that "Putin would have been satisfied with a cessation of hostilities based upon Ukrainian agreement not to join NATO"? Surely you're not referring to Pepe Escobar the Brazilian journalist who serves Russian propaganda on RT regularly as well as the infamous Russian state run "strategic-culture.org" He's so prolific a warning was put out by the US gov on him. https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Pillars-of-Russia’s-Disinformation-and-Propaganda-Ecosystem_08-04-20.pdf Article from before the invasion 17th Dec 2021: Putin actually wanted NATO to roll back almost a quarter-century of expansion by withdrawing forces from eastern Europe and halt further growth, an unprecedented challenge to the U.S. and its allies that could derail efforts to end a standoff over Ukraine. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-12-17/russia-demands-nato-return-to-1997-in-security-treaty-proposals Your reference to Boris Johnson "Boris Johnson went to Ukraine and informed that nation it wasn't going to happen. They were going to fight till the last Ukrainian for Russian regime change." Is equally full of misinformation and lacking context, a couple of weeks before Boris went to Ukraine Putin had already publicly stated that peace talks were dead: Putin says peace talks with Ukraine are at dead end, goads the West https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/putin-flies-into-russian-far-east-ukraine-talks-with-belarusian-leader-2022-04-12/ Here's some added facts for you: As war began, Putin rejected a Ukraine peace deal recommended by aide But, despite earlier backing the negotiations, Putin made it clear when presented with Kozak's deal that the concessions negotiated by his aide did not go far enough and that he had expanded his objectives to include annexing swathes of Ukrainian territory, the sources said. The upshot: the deal was dropped. https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/exclusive-war-began-putin-rejected-ukraine-peace-deal-recommended-by-his-aide-2022-09-14/ President Zelensky: 'Ukraine won't join NATO to stop the war with Russia' In order to find peace with Russia, president Zelensky is willing to reject NATO https://www.marca.com/en/lifestyle/world-news/2022/03/23/623a883fca47418c4d8b45f6.html The rest of your post being an off topic rant that again is fueled with your own homophobia 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
