You say hogwash and use an ad hominem attack "conspiracy theorist" because you can't disprove the facts can you

 

Did Navalny give impassioned speeches to White supremacists and was to revoke Russian citizenship from the Muslim Caucasus regions? Yes

 

Is there clear video of his top aide speaking with an Mi6 agent to start a color revolution? Yes

 

Does his death benefit the western MiC more than Putin? for sure

 

Who did the Nordstream attack?

 

Unprovoked invasion??? You are having a laugh. A despise Putin but you are not living in reality, I'm assuming you are American with your Assange comment so it's a quite simple thing, if China staged a color revolution in Mexico and got a new pro China government and wanted to place Nukes and Missiles pointed at Washington/NYC/LA that the US would just sit there and take it... You know you wouldn't

 

All US media has the same foreign policy you have state run news, same as the UK, there's subtle differences in domestic policy just the same as your Uniparty that acts as if they are different but are just a division tool to stop the masses from blaming the leaders and blaming their fellow citizens for voting for the wrong party.

 

 

 

 

 

So what is it bacofoil or some other stuff?

How out of touch the politicians are .... i mean has Stretta even been to Phuket ? Go there and look for yourself how miserable life has become there due to the influx of Russians. 

 

And he is wanting more ?!?!!?! Life in unaffordable for most Thai's there now due to the practises and colonisation by the Russians.

When was the last time you were on Phuket ?  Or are you just going by the opinions of AN members, who most don't live there either.  

 

I was there in April last year, and I didn't notice, although, unless talking to the tourist (no thanks) I couldn't tell you if they were from RU, UA (same same, not really different), UK, GR, FR, SP, IT or any EU or eastern European country.

 

All seemed to be behaved and enjoying themselves.

I have been there for the past 3 months, before leaving back to the US last week. 

 

Being there in April LAST year was a different situation. But having seen your previous posts, if EVERYONE said the world was round, you would argue the world was flat just because you like your own intellectual arguments at pointless debates. Good day to you, and won't be replying further to you if you don't believe Russians have literally taken over Phuket. 

Don't know what all the fuss is about, Russian tourist numbers were only marginally higher last month than they were in January 2023. They normally fall by half in April and half again in May, it's high season so what.

I thought you were in Bangkok as your Feb 14th post (10 days ago) talked about gridlock around Silom & Riverside area.  Along with being in Patts in January

 

So back in USA ? ... hmm

 

Not sure what I believe about the Russians, as did chit chat with any, but I'm not putting much stock in your complaining posts.

Okay i'll bite, because ir remember your deranged ramblings on Tripadvisor. How did that go by the way? You can live in one area of Thailand, and travel to other areas. For someone who hasn't been to Phuket in nearly a year, you seem to want to argue a rather sensless point that the island indeed has alot of Russian tourists. The official figures don't lie.

When someone makes a comment like that, I'm not even going to begin disproving what you say - why? because I've debated with people like you before.  Provide them with facts, they claim the source of the facts is lying. You want to be right so bad, you'll believe anything that appears to be in your favour and absolutely deny anything that's not.

 

However, I'll give you a clue as to why just one of the things you've stated is incorrect - that latest one regarding the amount of support Navalny really had.  Carry out some research from trusted and verified sources not from Putin's propaganda machine and learn exactly how much fear Putin spreads in Russia. FEAR is precisely why the actual amount of support Navalny had is unknown.  Fear is why Russian people don't want to even appear to listen to the truth about Putin's Russia.

 

Do a little checking into Putin's wealth, the wealth of a former KGB Officer working for communist country.

 

A little background to assist your research:

 

Putin has been preparing for the present situation since 1999.  He's systematically dismantled the Russian free media and installed his own in such a way that the Russian people are only fed a diet of 'The West is out to get us, they're anti Russian etc. etc. Everytime something bad happenes in Russia, say a downturn in the economy, Putin blamed it on the West.  His lies about Ukraine being run by Nazis are total rubbish, designed to keep the Russian people on side when he began his 'special military operation'.  Now, I doubt that all Russian people are stupid and the internet provides other sources of news and facts but even social media is regulated in Russia.  However, just as it is in other countries, people believe what they see on TV - Putin's TV!

 

Putin wants the USSR back - he's a meglamaniac as well as a corrupt thug.  As I said, he's spent 25 years preparing the Russian people for what's to come, making his rubbish plausible to the Russian people and manufacturing news.  Along the way he's encountered some opposition which he's largely disposed of. People have disappeared, been jailed on spurious charges etc. etc. but his greatest nemesis was Alexi Navalany, a Russian lawyer.  In reality Navalny had far more support than you give him credit for and Putin feared his popularity was a serious threat to his 'throne'.  So the thug set about discrediting Navalny, jailed him on trumped up charges, one failed murder attempt and now a successful one.  Along the way Navalny's supporters have been threatened and also locked up - just as is happening now to anyone who shows sympathy publicly.  A policy of fear - consistent with the ways of a gangster like Putin.

 

Don't trust what I tell you, do your own reseach but do yourself a favour, conduct your research based on the testimonies of Russians who are outside Russia - decent people that refuse to live in Putin's 'democracy'. Very few people inside Russia would dare to speak against Putin - purely out of fear. Check out trusted, independent news sources.

 

Research the 'mysterious' deaths of exiled Russian dissidents, there have been many - people who I am absolutely certain, were murdered on Putin's orders. Read the evidence against Russian agents who are accused of trying to poison Sergei Skpypal in Salisbury, UK.  A clue - if they had nothing to do with the poisoning, why were they traveling on false passports? Look at the timings of their entry and exit from the UK.

 

As I say, I refuse to disprove your claims because there's zero chance of you listening - by far the best chance of you changing your views is to read some factual evidence yourself.  You seem caught up in Putin's web of lies but let me remind you - exactly 2 years ago, Putin gave absolute assurances that he had no intention of invading Ukraine.

 

You might also, along the way, come across Putin's speaches where, forgetting himself briefly, he actually admits what his real intentions in Ukraine are.

Just point out my obvious mistake - pretty sure most people will have realised that I meant to say 'opposition in Russia' 😁.

I have a Thai friend that lives and works in Phuket - she tells me that there are far more Russians there now than there have ever been.  I also have an English friend that works in real estate in Phuket, he tells me condo sales and rentals to Russians have increased massively over the last 2 years.

 

The numbers of Russian tourists may be roughly the same but those figures are simply arrivals. They don't show how many have stayed. 

 

Not sure if any figures are available that give the numbers of foreigners that are living in Phuket and their nationalities but they would tell the correct story.

If Thai Airways resumes flights to Russia, will the US government block the export of Boeing spare parts to Thailand, considering the current sanctions?

Which Country apart from Western Germany and Turkiye does the US have nuclear weapons in. Please enlighten us? As if the US has any need to put nuclear weapons in Ukraine. Finland is a much shorter flight time to Moscow and St Petersburgh(which was originally Swedish was it not?)
