Be specific.... Which part is "fake news"?

Anyone can throw a blanket statement on something they don't like.

Which part of the post you were quoting as correct is fake news that is not specific enough for you? All of it.

Bet it's all about oil. Must be buying Russian oil as are most of the Asian nations are doing. Helping Russia pay for the war.

Pragmatic, which is why Thailand is Teflon coated, they don't have a dog in this fight so why go out on a limb. Thailand is a backwater country with a lot of Chinese influence within and a neighbour heavily reliant on Chinese investment so why take sides and antagonize. Thailand is a softly treading Nightingale that has seen its best course of action is not to sing to loudly.

Thought I would see if China would sell me a sub. I am not picky. I don't need an engine. I will just bob around for a while. When I run out of food. I will head in and see if things have cooled off.

 

[Why Me]

Kudos to Thailand for brushing off US pressure. In any case, hopefully the war will be over before APEC (and Putin) arrive in town mid-Nov with no-nonsense Surovikin now in charge of Russian forces.

Well in that case, you are wrong.

Here is a real history timeline for you:

 

1. In 2014 the U.S leads the coup of democratically elected president in Ukraine (who happens to be pro-Russia) and installs a pro-Western president.

 

2. In the same year, disgusted Russian-speakers (basically everyone) from Donbass region say "Nah <deleted> that! If the West is going to do a coup in Ukraine and install a puppet president (as they have in countless other countries), we are declaring independence."

 

3. Ukrainian military bombed them ever since and committed countless crimes to the point where WESTERN newspapers were talking about Ukraine's "Nazi problem".

4. It becomes so bad that the Donbass republics ask Putin for help, and he initially says no.

 

5. In February 2022, Putin invades and decides to defend these republics from the aggression they've been facing for 8 years. He also vows to "Denazify" Ukraine, which he didn't pull from his own imagination, since Western newspapers have already been concerned for years (easily verifiable).

 

6. The collective Western world (led by the U.S State Dept, CIA, Pentagon etc) sees an opportunity to "contain" Russia by arming the opposing side in a war, as they did in 1979 in Afghanistan.

7. Western morons believe every word propaganda pieces like "The Guardian" say, and conveniently forget that just last year, same newspaper talked about Ukraine's "Nazi problem". Suddenly Ukrainians are heroes fighting the "Russian menace", almost like a real-life portrayal of the dozens of corny Hollywood movies with the same plot (Russians are always the cartoonishly evil bad guys in Hollywood action films...)..

 

8. Ukrainian propaganda more romantic and unrealistic than Star Wars talks of "Ghosts of Kiev" (who shoots down 9000 Russian planes a minute without being seen), a grandpa with a pee-shooter who destroys tanks and other such BS....and grass-chewing Westerners' eyes fill with patriotic tears or something...

Anything contrary to these fairy tales is attacked viciously as "Kremlin propaganda".

This is where we are today.

 

People think someone is "pro-Russia" or "Anti-Ukraine" simply for questioning the cartoonish "official" plot.

 

Meanwhile, they are manufacturing consent to send your sons to die in their wars.

 

This is real. Everything you think is real is fake news.

You're welcome. ????

 

 

 

Above is indeed Russian propaganda.

Putin is a war criminal.

Never forget that he stole Crimea.

Putin can't accept Ukraine being a sovereign nation and emerging democracy 

A minority of the total population doesn't want that.

They can try to win the next election or they can move to Russia. The four new annexed regions are not Russia.

I would be hoping for a end of the war by year's end. But more realistic sometime next year.

Much more Western munitions and especially anti air defense systems, plus 10s of thousands of properly Trained soldiers arriving from UK.

Ukraine has the momentum and the backing of the world.

russia has a paranoid delusional dictator

Whichever commander puppet de jour putin puts in is in a loosing positions.

Dude, you didn't disprove a single thing I said. 

Only posted a link and vaguely implied "but your Nazis are worse".

Western media (pre February) would seem to suggest different, because if RUSSIA had a Nazi problem to the magnitude of Ukraines, it would be on every newspaper front page, even to this day.

We all know this is true.

Why do I need disprove what the article said?

 

I accept it at face value.............."dude"

 

Here's another quote from it:

"To be clear, the Kremlin’s claims that Ukraine is a hornets’ nest of fascists are false: far-right parties performed poorly in Ukraine’s last parliamentary elections, and Ukrainians reacted with alarm to the National Militia’s demonstration in Kiev."

You are showing your ignorance and perhaps belong n the pub threads not serious discussion threads such as this. Oh and link to the higher IQ of Thai’s as opposed to the West?

Well, I would say the ability to form their own judgment of what's going on in Ukraine and critically question US propaganda indicates a superior intellect than most supposedly advanced western countries.

Can you point me to where they have critically questioned western propaganda as you put it? Did you read the Thai print out posted as to why they abstained. Pretty sure they said they respect Ukraines territorial boundaries. They also voted in the previous UN motion to condem Russias invasion into Ukraine and leave immediately.

Of course, everyone does. Except these boundaries have now shrunk outside the four provinces that voted to join Russia.

There were no elections to join Russia, a sham show was all it was and recognized as such. It really says something when the only countries that agree with Russia are NK, Nicaragua, Belarus and Syria. A real pirate crew.

If you've been following recent news you'll know that China, India and OPEC+ have all sided with Russia in actions that actually matter, e.g., buying Russian exports, raising oil prices, etc. Now, that is a real pirate crew.

Interesting question, we don't know either way yet. But here would be hypothetical test: If a resident of Luhansk (with address proof) applies for a Thai visa using a Russian passport at the Moscow Thai embassy, will he be turned down and told "sorry, wrong country, try Ukraine".

 

I would be curious to know.

We do know either way, read the Thai statement on the first page of this thread by Thailand. Thailand does not recognize the new territories.

Too many still swallow Washington's propaganda. The areas in question are populated mainly by Russians. For the last few years, while part of Ukraine, they have been bombarded by Ukraine, with 14,000 deaths. Why would they vote to remain Ukranian? For whatever reason, Thailand has got it right. 

One-sided propaganda. Many Russians were forced in the past to settle in the areas by Stalin. It is clear who has intensified and ignited the conflict in terms of war.

Nowhere does it say Thailand does/does not recognize the four newly-acquired Russian oblasts. It does make a statement of general principle in Art. 1 against "unprovoked acquisition ..." but doesn't accuse Russia of any wrongdoing. And in the next Art. 2 it declares the situation as too volatile to choose sides.

 

Smart diplomacy by Thailand in waiting for the ground realities to sort themselves.

If you can’t comprehend the message in the statement where they even include the infringed human rights of the Ukrainians of which they have been deprived then it’s pointless carrying on, goodnight
