Popular Post Sydebolle Posted July 19, 2023 Popular Post Posted July 19, 2023 All the while, the entire world is "concerned" about the US in general, its tattering president and the USD 886 billion defense budget approval for 2024. So, what exactly is the US' point? Thailand will fix its own problems in its own way by its own people. I strongly suggest that the American people and their government is doing EXACTLY the very same - clean up your own mess first, pay up all your debts in zillions of USD and then wait for someone knocking on your door, if and when help, advice and/or assistance is needed. 1 1 1

Look at those who tried to stop a valid election killing police etc. How can they even think of lecturing other countries. Errr..because the election DID take place and the winner is currently president. Those that tried to overturn the process were arrested,now sentenced to jail terms. That’s how it’s done in a democracy Which bit of that are you struggling to understand? 2 1 1

Popular Post connda Posted July 19, 2023 Popular Post Posted July 19, 2023 The United States should worry about the United States. Unfortunately US Foreign Policy is based on the Nosey-Neighbor and "Do-As-We-Say-And-Not-How-We-Do policies. This is why the BRICS+ are gaining Geo-political traction. The BRICS+ model is trade internationally, develop economic and security pacts, and stay the hell out of the domestic politics of member countries. Now I'll hear: "China bad, Russia bad, BRICS is a joke," and so on.... <--- "Nosey-Neighbor." However, I'll estimate that the BRICS nations will represent a majority of the non-Western world as well as a significant majority of the world's population, especially the Middle East, Asia, and the Global South by the end of the decade as most countries don't want Big Daddy Warbucks and the Western "Golden Billion" meddling in their domestic affairs. 2 1 1

John Drake Posted July 19, 2023 Posted July 19, 2023 The US could help sort out some of its problems, for example, by imposing either higher taxes on Thai imports or flat out bans, especially on "Thai companies" serving as false fronts for Chinese corporations trying to get around sanctions. Maybe the US also needs to solve its problem with imports that don't take proper precautions and perhaps have Thai products spend a couple of extra months in quarantine until passing US inspection? Sounds good to me. 1

Popular Post AloisAmrein Posted July 19, 2023 Popular Post Posted July 19, 2023 Thailand's conservative and anti-democratic elite shows again the true face. Democracy is just a nice word for them to lure the international public. In reality they show no respect to the will of people which is strongly against the dictatorshop of the army and the monarchists. I am quite sure there will be protests and problems coming with this behavior. Not respecting the will of 80 percent of the population will end in a disaster. 4

Or is it really to do with the fact that Thailand announced last year it's dumping it's dollar dept by half by 2016 and applied to join BRICS that will see an end to the dollar as the reserve currency sending there own country into a depression not seen in 100 years and bring an end to US imperialism. The world will be a safer place when it does. Its hard to believe that a country, who not so long ago, had a leader whose behaviour even caused embarassment to Donald Duck by sharing the same name, has the audacity to criticise how another country is run. LMFAO! 1

Wow. just wow. Deployments of troops in friendly countries is worse than invasions of Ukraine (3x), Moldova, Georgia... China building fake islands to get more territory and actively threaten their neighbors.... Incredible to be an apologist for those countries even if you don't always agree with U.S. actions. 1

Aid is a very misunderstood word that some may say is actually more related to bribery and corruption. It is certainly not just a handout lol. For example, if you recall the "Coalition of the Willing", some of those 'willing' partners were only 'willing' because otherwise their aid would be withdrawn. 1

With any luck this defiance of western financial interests will continue be punished by the falling thai baht. Allow Juan Guido (or whatever his name is) to pay them back or face the consequences! 1
