Seem.

Anything in that word that you do not understand?

 

New condo owners... As an example...

In the Kamala, Kathu District, Phuket area, Russians have been a significant force in the foreign condo market, particularly in leasehold properties, with Russians dominating in terms of both units and value purchased.

What exactly do you think this proves? That Russia is more successful than China? That it's as successful as China?  I'm genuinely curious.

Stating the fact that it was started by Republicans has nothing to do with believing that its true.  Use your brain some times and learn to read and comprehend instead of trying to change what's written into some talking point that wasn't said just to promote your agenda.  Are you just another sheep marching in line behind Trump?

So you get nothing to offer against the fact that a committee headed by Senate Republicans concluded that Manafort worked with the Russians. To put it another way, you've got nothing.

Again, what is it in the word 'seem' that you do not understand?

 

It does not mean that it proves anything. But many Thais believe so, as supported by many facts in property ownership. Might not be true. Same as the fact that they believe in Buddha. Might not be true.

McCarthy was against all communists but focused on Russia. He destroyed many careers. It seems now McCarthyism had returned but now it's against everybody who is not in a cult.

Russian interference, including the role of  Manafort, is well documented in the GOP-led Senate committee report.

Rather than go dig into the weeks here's how a Federal Judge assessed the Trump campaign russian connection

'In an order in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit seeking access to the unredacted report, U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton said Barr's action caused him "to seriously question whether Attorney General Barr made a calculated attempt to influence public discourse about the Mueller report in favor of President Trump."

Walton focused on Barr's initial statement — before the report was released in full — that Mueller's team did not find that anyone in the Trump campaign conspired with Russian efforts to meddle in the 2016 election. The judge said Barr left out the fact that the report identified contacts between members of the Trump campaign and people connected with the Russian government.'

What facts did the judge recite?. Why dont you post the decision? What was the case about? Was that the holding of the case, or District Judge  dicta?

 

Have you ever read the Mueller report? How about the decision you refer to?

 

Of course you cant answer any of the foregoing, nor have you read either of the documents referred to.

stupid question you need to think carefully before touching the keys 

People hate China too ,but they have not invaded anybody lately, buty

Just two examples (only two). Without my approval a property agent in Pattaya moved a Russian family into my luxury house on Jomtien beach.  They trashed the house, paid part rent only, very late, and several times the police were called because of violence.

 

Brit buddy had a luxury house same village. He accepted the prospective Russian tenant because they accepted a high rental agreement but soon discovered they never paid the rent and were harassing the neighbors who were complaining about very loud music all night and loud motorcycles coming and going all night. Police came twice and told them to pay the rent and stop the noise. They ignored the police. They were then deported.

Chalk it up to the long term effects of a massive public brainwashing campaign, financed by the USA.  It's been going on for years, in one form or another.  Most people actually believe the nonsense.  Propaganda works very very well. 

 

The second I heard that Hillary blamed her election loss on "Russian Collusion," that told me everything I needed to know.  How much did they spend on the Mueller investigation?  Those people were so convinced they were invincible, they got 51 intelligence officers to sign onto their nonsense scheme.  

What did the OP get wrong about Russia?

Look up The Night of the Sparrows, part of Mao's Four Pests Campaign. The Chinese tried to eradicate the sparrow because they feared that it ate their grain.

 

Yes, that was covered in Wild Swans too I believe. Led to widespread starvation.

 

Absolute lunacy.

 

But you will get the CCP / Leftist apologists on here saying that it was taken 'out of context' or some sort drivel, as they defend the ideology that also kicked off the Ukrainian starvation brought about by Stalin. (Holodomyr)

It's why I always advise my clients to consider real estate investment trusts on the stock exchanges as opposed to being an actual landlord dealing with actual people.

 

Can't say for Thailand but it's dangerous these days to be a landlord collecting rent in Canada. ('Rent is Extortion' and 'Keep Your Rent' movements... Leftie funded)

Sure, and I am not condemning the cultural icons of China like tea and the wonderful cuisine that has few rivals in the world.

My personal experiences with Russians in Thailand haven’t been bad. In all the years I had 1 Russian woman try to cut in line in front of me, thats the only thing i experienced negative from them. Chinese people quite rude and nasty with disgusting hygiene from my experience in Thailand.

I do believe China is a paper tiger militarily. Japan has brutalized them throughout history and they now ally with USA and President Trump so we’re happy they’re on our side with a history of being warriors that China just doesn’t have.  Chinese are followers not leaders. 
Ask Africa and Cambodia what they think of Chinese investment in their part of the world. Invasion of a different kind than military.

 

"Chinese are followers not leaders".

 

That's a big statement to make and I don't agree with your statement.

 

Don't judge by comparison to trump or to America or to putin or to netanyahu.

 

China has it's ways of analyzing / doing things and good for them. 

 

China doesn't have to fit your definitions.
