retarius Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 23 minutes ago, Gknrd said: "I suppose as usual I am out of the mainstream step. I fully support Putin, I think he is the world's leading statesman who makes Biden look like a village idiot. I think his war in Ukraine is entirely justified and when he meets his maker (if there is a maker) he'll come out just fine. The Lavrov/Putin team is exceptional, no diplomatically phrased lies just cold hard facts about the US that the propagandised west cannot understand. Ask one of your friends what are the rules od "rules based order". No one knows, they have never been discussed, agreed or published from any forum. Then look at the back-ups. The west better hope that Putin doesn't get sick because Medvedev will finish the war in two days (OK a bit shorter that Donald Trump will???????). The Russian have leadership in depth and the west has, well Rushi, or Emmanuel Napoleon, or Scholz, or god forbid, Biden and Blinken." Well said, I believe Stalin and mao. are left out.. But, spot on.. Stalin and Mao are ancient history my friend, why not mention Hitler or Bismarck. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess, Putin says thank you for the invite (but it will not take place). Putin has accepted the invitation for next year, try to keep up 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard that before. When the former unelected soldier PM staged an illegal coup in 2014, what would have happened if people already in government tried to stop him?? Would there have been a bloodbath? Would the soldiers have backed down? I don't think so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have a right to live wherever they wish. The planet belongs t. o all of us and none of us at the same time. Do you think you should have more rights to travel and relocate over someone who was born in say Somalia or Syria? S'all right . It's all happenin a head of time !

Pdavies99 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 36 minutes ago, Sigmund said: And the USA on the other hand are arming and financing other "dictatorships". So it's a balance. Who cares if Russia deals with Thailand ? What the majority here are rightfully worried about is the tax changes next year and if long stay tourist visas will be given with less hassle to quality european tourists (90 day visa exempt). Buying Russian oil will lower inflation in Thailand and that's what matters. So really you are concerned about what affects you only? Why do you expect 90 Day Visa Exempt? You can easily apply for a visa. Tax is an expected issue for all of us and to date I see nothing that's says retired will be effected. As for oli, Russian Oli is not going to reduce inflation at all, rather assist the Russian Dictatorship. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacessit Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 28 minutes ago, MikeandDow said: Putin has accepted the invitation for next year, the Thai's did a bit more than fence-sitting in WW2 Thailand officially adopted a neutral position during World War II until the five hour-long Japanese invasion of Thailand on 8 December 1941, which led to an armistice and military alliance treaty between Thailand and the Japanese Empire in mid-December 1941. At the start of the Pacific War, the Japanese Empire pressured the Thai government to allow the passage of Japanese troops to invade British-held Malaya and Burma. Don't disagree. I would be very surprised if Putin actually lands in Thailand. He's paranoid about being assassinated, understandably so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine, but I feel we have many Visa choices, from long stay, to 90 day or 30 day or Retirement, family Visa, and border runs etc. Of course its very annoying about taxation, many foreign residents do not pay tax in their home country or here, but then complain, I understand, but Thailand want some taxation. Remember its their country and we are welcome under their rules. Edited October 18, 2023 by Pdavies99 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surasak Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 6 hours ago, bob smith said: The sooner we get to a global world order instead of these tit for tat nation states the better. I personally don't consider myself a citizen of any particular country, I am a citizen of the World and I want a global passport system with free trade and movement for eveyrone. Thats how it should be. Instead of judging each other by our differences in race, religion, ethnicity and the like - if instead we are all part of one global community then I think the likelihood of wars arising for arbitrary reasons would be greatly reduced. And who would you have as the world president, Trump, Xi or Putin? just to name a few. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
