Thailand doesn't seem to know there is a war on. 

Do you think we should have barred Bush coming in 2004? There was an unjust war going on in Iraq then. 

Can't be neutral in some wars and not others.

He's invited?

Personally I always had a feeling Saddam was actually Putin's puppet. However hanging would be too good for him, I'd prefer Putin met his end in Gaddafi fashion. 

Better still ...

After what happened to his buddy Viktor I doubt he will ever come here.

Or, closer to home - what happened to Thaksin when he left the country for a meeting/conference!

As I said in an earlier topic, he's way to paranoid to leave the borders of Russia.

You must be talking about the unkempt, unshaven dude in a dirty green t-shirt who only attends virtual meetings via green-screen setups.
Putin just attended a meeting in Astana, Kazakhstan where he met with numerous Asia heads of states.  Just saying.  Stay on top of your Geo-politics.  Otherwise you end up sounding ignorant.

Since Putin started his war crimes in Ukraine he's visited several countries Tajikistan,  Turkmenistan, Iran, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. That's it. The picture is clear.

If he did come, would he be allowed to sit at the end of a very long table on his own??? How many Asia Pacific would abstain from coming??? Is Thailand so desperate, that it needs Russian Tourists to rebuild its economy??? Does Thailand have a complete lack of human values???

Putin had an embarrassing moment in Kazakhstan

 

At the summit in Astana, President of Tajikistan Rahmon addressed Putin: "Please do not relate to the countries of Central Asia as the former USSR!"

 

???? not many places want Russia

Putin is terrified !  Every  one saw the photos a few months back on the table as long as a football pitch ! 
He doesn’t trust anyone, not even his own dogs bodies of generals.

Do the heads of state of the OPEC member countries need an invitation?

It's not that they do not want Russia, it's Putin they do not trust.  Iran, of course is a different story

They wish to maintain their ties to Russia.  It is Putin they do not trust.  Iran is a different story.

Other than Iran, looks like he's wanting to get the band back together again.  Not going to happen.

I'm just curious.

Isn't everyone anti war apart from Putin who started it?
