A war crime in it self. Destruction of Civilian infrastructure is another war crime want me to carry on but the Thais don't seem bothered about that.

He called them out by name, claimed they were putting Americans at risk, and intimated that the US could act against them, as well as other ICC personnel and their families' Can anyone really take the ICC seriously.

JensenZ Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 2 hours ago, Des1 said: My thoughts on this are not about trade, but rather the dark road we are going down with the rise of authoritarian regimes. We are a species of warring tribes, history cannot be denied and we are long overdue for another global conflict and we are moving in that direction. Thailand may try to take the position of neutrality. They held on to that idea while capitulating to the Japanese in our previous world war, or they may decide to hitch their wagon to Russia and China. No one is fooled by that. As I said, it’s about choosing sides when deciding what sort of world we want to live in. China has no friends in Asia, aside from Russia and North Korea. That speaks volumes. Actions have consequences. Just my opinion. I disagree. Thailand has been a military dictatorship for most of the last 10 years yet the rest of the world turned a blind eye, other than a few feeble comments here and there. Thailand is unimportant on the world stage, so staying neutral in this conflict will be of no consequence at all. They'll fly under the radar like they always have. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it does have clients in Laos, Cambodia, and for all the disguised complaining on Vietnam's part, Vietnam. Thailand is becoming one, too. Already, in northern Laos, and this was ten years ago, Chinese nationals have simply moved into the country and set up shop. The figure I saw at the time was 800,000 Chinese. Now, with Thailand's visa free entry for Chinese, the way is set up for the process to be repeated in Thailand. Once they're in, you'll never get the Chinese out. Besides they already have plenty of "cousins" in Thailand to help with their settlement and colonization. I find your opinion very interesting.They come in through the Belt&Road Initiative.Once you sign up you're finished as an independant country.The massive debt can never be repaid but will demand concessions galore.Free Visas is one example.Can Laos pay down the debt for the new rail line to China? I think not.LOS is on their radar.We used to visit Sihanoukville back in the day but I understand its been damaged by their yellow cousins.Dozens of examples around the world of the generous Chinese investments gone bad. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be used by the Chinese and others to set up manufacturing there and funnel goods to EU tariff free, same way as Australia gets a lot of "Thai" cars.

Anyway, straight from the official Vietnam sources about the FDI in first half in 2023: https://www1.mpi.gov.vn/en/Pages/tinbai.aspx?idTin=58156&idcm=122 Singapore first, Japan second, China third, South Korea forth, EU doesn't even get mentioned.

retarius Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Just steer clear of Zelensky, a con man if ever I saw one and I saw a lot when I was inside. He'll try to chat you up for arms and money, then he sells the arms to Hamas and pockets the money for villas around the world (a new charity he's setting up). Thailand cannot afford to be friendly with this chap even for the magic of a photo-op. Incidentally looks like the Yanks hare dumping him. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengMelea Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I see ASEAN and many of its followers are following the US propaganda line with this "Russian invasion" story of Ukraine. After a US facilitated coup in Ukraine installing a "NAZI" government that went to war within its own country killing it's own Russian speaking people, who didn't want anything to do with the unelected government that seized power. Then this government wanted to join NATO, and its on the border with Russia. Putin didn't want this, and put up with the "ethnic cleansing" going on in its neighbouring country so put forward a peace proposal thas was rejected. Anyone remember the Cuban Missile Crisis? Similar analogy. Thank goodness for Putin! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayceenik Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I am a senior Belgian. I'm pro-Putin, pro-Russia. 100%. The hatred Europeans and Canadians have developed for Russia is a great US propaganda success. My Lord, be a former SS volunteer having fought on the side of the Nazis against Russia in WWII and the entire Canadian Parliament will applaud you! Goebbels is smiling, wherever he is now. The Canadian Armed Forces: Casualties 42,042 men and women of Canada's armed forces died during the war BTW, I fought in Vietnam in the US ARMY. Extended tour. Honorable discharge. Bronze Star. I like the USA. But this war in Ukraine is a US proxy war that's destroying Europe. Deindustrialization. Weakening of the Euro. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
