China influence for a long time. And China supports Russia. No surprises here. Just hope everything not heading to an all out show of muscle. Just glad American ties were pretty close in the past with Thailand so that counts for something towards peace. Compromise is our only hope.

kimamey Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I wonder how Putin will feel about it, given that quite a few of the 'tourists' will be avoiding callup for military service? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post observer90210 Posted October 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) Russia has far cheaper oil and energy to sell and benefit Asia then the US unfortunately or fortunately, depending on each personnal opinion. At the end of the day, it is a wise choice not to close the doors with Russia. Europe is harshly suffering due to the US sanctions. Asia has not made that mistake as if it did, prices will soar and many foreigners will feel the pinch harder in Thailand. When it comes to politics, every nation be it the US, Russia, Thailand, European Union. can be rogues and advocate for their sole interests. What matters for Joe Soap on a daily basis is his cost of living and what is done to maintain everbody's standards of life. You won't change the world in taking sides in any war. Morals reach their limit when it hits one's wallet. Edited October 17, 2023 by observer90210 1 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no draft at Russia now. Draft was announced at September 2022 and this created a load of negative consequences, so the government shut it after a month or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, remember a certain minister condemning Farangs as filthy. basically saying that most of them are of the Kee nok variety. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kindly respect forum rules and take the entire comment you quote and not just manipulate the issue in using and quoting a sentence out of context to use it for your propaganda. Unless you wish to end up in the ignore list. And by the way WW2 is long over just incase so you need to revise your discourse.
