Oh c'mon man, the US has been sucking up to despots for decades. Who put Pinochet in power? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdey Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarraMarra Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

0ffshore360 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
