silly topic ......  OP ,   you've got more chance of being attacked by a ladyboy on beach rd than any war here.

In addition, you can call it whatever you like.  I am asking a question and I believe we all have a right to do that here?

What is it with AN readers?  Please read my post properly.  I have never stated that anyone would be attacked in Thailand or that Thailand would ever be targeted by nuclear weapons as stated in another post.

 

There is an increasing chance of world conflict at the moment and my opinion is that if anything major does kick off, Thailand would have to align with China.  In that case, how safe do exapts feel in Thailand? Would they be considered enemies and locked up? Could they be deported?

When you ask old people about the future, they mostly give a negative response.

 

I think it could be some sort of projection of their impending demise.

 

OP is over age 70, i'm betting? @MangoKorat

Ha Ha Ha........way, way off the mark.

Wait a moment and make yourself this question: 

 

Surely we are not the ones who have been devastating the world for over two centuries, but we always blame others (Milosevic, Saddam, Gheddafi, Assad, Putin just mentioning the latest of a long list)?

 

 

Sure. What about military adventurism in Tibet and the Spratleys. And against India in the border conflict.

This is an EXCELLENT Topic.

This question is one that all of us think about, from time to time.

 

However, it might be best to not become overly preoccupied with worry about it.

 

As for me, if I am put behind barbed wire by the Chi-Com Bandits, then...

I will make a run for the wire, and attempt to climb it, until....

I am shot down by machinegun, like the dog that I am.

 

(I meant, the running-dog that I am.)

Ahh, always people around that simply seeks 'likes'.

 

I guess a lot of people believed Putin when he said he had no intention of invading Ukraine - the day before he invaded!

 

Yeah, just scaremongering, it will never happen, bla bla bla, then it happens.

 

I have several women by the way - I like to engage in Thai culture wherever possible.

Putin wants a gap between Russia and Nato.

Let's abolish the NATO (actually an arm of the USA) and all the problems will be over.

Oh wait, talking about health of the masses, I'd abolish the WHO as well.

Cheers

 

Funny how those two sentiments always go together.

Nice scaremongering. Not for me. 0.00001% chance of Thailand being invaded by one of the big 3.

Thailand was a base for us soldiers during the second indochina war, and who will Thailand choose for future? That's the question 

 

How safe would we be in a country who allie with China?

I hope this doesn't have effect on the availability of Khao Mun Guy. 🤢🙄😳

 

The boiled version might still be available but not sure about the fried version. That and Khao Dtom would be all that was available.

I posted this topic following a discussion with a friend who left ThaiVisa long ago because, in his words 'its full of loonies' . I disagreed with him and stated that things had changed these days and the site is now called AseanNow.

 

So far I'm losing that fight.

Mango, the internet has lots of loonies. The chance of war was higher last century imo. Russia and China have nothing to gain from a world war. Their leaders will be target for death. Look at what happened to Hitler and Mussolini.

Climate change has already ruined the world - the question is, how much can we salvage - if any?

 

Think I'm wrong?  Fires, Floods, Droughts mean anything to you?

How has climate ruined the world? More crops today than 50 years ago by far. More food.

I didn't think we allowed children in here.


The last time anyone mistook me for a child was decades ago, but thank you kindly for the compliment. Please also remember to let me know when the bombs start falling. I love watching fireworks.
