BarnicaleBob Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Thailand should be careful when dealing with this man, there are so many Russians living in certain areas of Thailand they might decide to secede and seek to be part of Russia. That seems to be happening a lot lately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to be happening a lot lately. I bet that America must be feeling a little bit left out in the cold as everyone is deserting them for China, Japan and god forbid, even Russia now. Even all of the important countries in Europe are joining the Asian fund which is a big blow for the impotent IMF that they have the major say in and keeps their currency as the 'reserve' currency of the world (for how much longer one may ask)? Can't say that they don't deserve it as they have tried to boss the rest of the world for too long now and they are getting their comeuppance as people have decided that they are not as important as they think they are and are a fading super power on the wane!!

Time to wake up: Soviet, Eastern Block, East Germany, Nazi Death camps don't exist anymore (unless you call Guantanamo that way). North Korea is doing economic changes and has good grow which soon will lead to political changes. Cuba: well they weren't a too bad place to live in compare to all the similar countries....excellent medical care for everyone..... So it isn't the 1970s anymore, the world is changing.....

With the EC economy in shambles, it's the American economy that keeps them on top. China's economy is now showing weakness and Russia is still a basket case. Thailand will soon realize that its economic growth will depend on US investment and markets. When the numbers roll in next year, Prayuth will be changing his tune.
