The Thai government does seem to like and appreciate despot nations, perhaps it's the army influence, but they don't seem to be particularly talented at picking good allies. 

Oh c'mon man, the US has been sucking up to despots for decades. Who put Pinochet in power?

Why do all you haters on here think Thailand should be against Russia? You don't have a single reason why Thailand should, and I'll bet not one of you will leave LOS because of it- so where are your principles?

Now Joe about those F35'S F16's and Olaf about those sub engines.

Good Job, 👍  do what is good for Thailand, not what the US!

I can understand that Thailand is a small country, in terms of global influence, and they need to keep some semblance of neutrality. By making friends with everyone, hopefully they wont get dragged into a war that doesn't concern them.

I think the US and Europe should just write off Thailand. Stop thinking they are friendly, when they're partial to China and Russia. Stop giving them trading and FDI incentives. Just allow Thailand to go the way it wants and become a Chinese satellite and Russian ally. That should go for all of what used to be Indochina. Stop thinking Vietnam will ever do anything meaningful to buck its Russian and Chinese backing. Laos is already China plus. And so is Cambodia. That leaves Myanmar. But whomever it is that holds power there will also require Chinese approval. No, the staging point for American resistance to increasing hostile threats from this region should be the Philippines. Marcos has completely turned the country around from Duterte's lunatic ideas. The US should back him to the hilt, militarily and economically. Every US penny going to Thailand or Vietnam needs to be shifted to the Philippines. No more favorable trade and FDI deals. Let Thailand and the rest follow their own starry eyed Chinese destiny.

I don't know why you're hyperventilating so much. The position of my argument is indeed for Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia to go their own way and follow China. That's their decision. I don't begrudge them doing so. At the same time, I don't know why they would expect the US to maintain a existing trade agreements with them, support FDI, and give them special export exemptions. But the severing I'm talking about is something I'd expect you to like, instead of get all hysterical about. Let Thailand be Thailand and fall completely in China's orbit. I have no objections to them doing so. But they'll need some other country than the US to provide them with the trade surplus they now enjoy that cancels out the trade deficit they have with China.

Let's not get involved in US politics guys its about Thailand being friendly with Russia a country that has invaded another country that has Raped, butchered, looted on and its way across Ukraine to change it to Russia. Most countries around the world are placing sanctions on Russia/ What does Thailand do? invite their foreign Minister onto Thai soil. Putin and his closest henchmen have been issued with warrants for arrest but not Thailand They are happy having their photos taken with them.

I think you are the one in a bubble Frank if you can't see what Putin and his cohorts are doing in a foreign country.  Most countries in the West see a war criminal when they see one.

 why wont the US and Allies sit for peace talks? Putin offered already was all going ahead until Boris Johnson put a stop to it, the war could have been over long time already.
What did Mitch McConnell say, 'fight to the last Ukrainian', from his cushy mansion in the US, Clinton said they should prolong the war to deplete Russias economy... the US & UK politicians & allies, they don't want peace, the Head of Nato even admitted they provoked the situation, but you call Putin a war criminal!  
Same as other members here all baying for blood from the safety of their bar stools and cold Leos while people dying daily.

Because Javelins are $450K a pop, almost tripled and the rest of flying and crawling crap also misteriously getting more and more expensive.
And yes, Black Rock rules. Basically it is a war about money, big money. Nobody cares about "casualties".

PS: buy shares of ex-Raytheon ($RTX) is still a very good idea.

Yes and look where it's got them. They are all suffering the consequences of their folly, while Russia is doing just fine. And incase you hadn't notices the global south is 100% behind Russia. Only the west have been stupid enough to impose sanctions that don't work.

While many if not most Asian countries enjoy some degree of trade advantages with the US there remains the reality of the fact that the citizens of the US enjoy the  consumerist addiction to  cheap product and never mind the balance of trade issue .

Recent polls of South East Asians opinion suggest that given the choice a majority would back China ahead of the US despite reservations as to trusting the long term intent of  China's CCP.

It should not be ignored that a significant percentage of SEA country populations are Muslim and the USA has not exactly demonstrated any actions that endears them to  followers of Islam. The Gaza debacle is very much in the awareness of even the Thai population.

no, your little western bubble says that.
India, Africa, China, south America, basically 2/3rds of the world, apart from western lackys all trading with Russia and avoiding USA political sanctions, you are living in dream world, Russia is trading more than before, bring on BRICS and the US dollar disappears
do you even know what BRICS is? 

please explain what sanctions are being placed, and by who....
