PM well satisfied with Russia visit

BANGKOK, 23 May 2016 (NNT) - The Prime Minister is happy with the outcomes of his visit to Russia where he took part in the ASEAN-Russia Commemorative Summit.

Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha arrived back in Bangkok from Russia on Saturday. Addressing the media, he said his visit to Sochi was considered a great success as it provided an opportunity for him to meet and discuss a wide range of issues with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.

The PM said the discussions between the two sides were about national security, economic cooperation, and sustainable energy. He said he had invited Russian business operators to invest in Thailand and use Thailand as their production bases.

He went on to say that he had met with leaders of more than 10 countries and talked about cooperation in several areas such as trade, investment, diplomatic relations, and infrastructure.

Sounds a bit desperate to me. If in need of international appreciation, Putin should be on the bottom of the list of those you want to get it from.

No need to ask who "the leaders of more than ten countries" are with whom Prayuth met. It will not be a list to be proud of. The new friends are not chosen wisely. They will not bring major investments.

not sure that photo sits well with too many given the current climate with the west

Two strong men holding hands. At least, things in Myanmar are moving forward. Is there a picture of Aung San Suu Kyi and the good general shaking hands ?

Them two look well happy in the photo

Never a rainy day.

Prayut got nine MOU's.

That's about as significant as a school hall pass.

So the big P is happy!

Meanwhile, the other P is being sued by the families of the victims of MH17 (see http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36350520).

They say that a man is known by the company he keeps.

Is the cantankerous one really taller than Putin? Man, Putin must be a small man in the physical sense as well!

Translation: we don't like to USA anymore so let's p*ss them off and talk to Russia.

Dear Mr. PM,

It must be nice to occasionally meet the leader of another country who is willing to pose for a picture with you.

Love, PDL

I too didn't realize that Putin was so short.

I think that many people's opinion about Putin is swayed by the propaganda war waged against him. In other words, I think they're a touch gullible. The reduction of the oil price has been attributed to the USA wanting to bankrupt Russia, which hasn't happened yet and I'll bet it isn't going to. And we should ignore all this 'he invaded Ukraine and Crimea and and and Europe's next' BS, even a little bit of paying attention shows that it just doesn't fly, especially when the habitually invasive USA are saying it.

Russia supplies a large percentage of the natural gas that Europe needs to survive which is why you don't hear too many loud voices about Putin from Europe.

I don't think there is very much wrong with Putin personally; unlike my opinion of Prayuth.

But his hands appear to be bigger than Prayut's hands.

Tony125 · May 23, 2016

I too didn't realize that Putin was so short.

Neither did I but did a Google search and it says that Putin is only 1.7 meters = 5' 7'' tall.

My personal opinion of him is rather coloured by the involvement of the country which he leads in blowing a civilian airliner full of innocent people out of the sky.

K. Prayuth would have been so far out of his comfort zone with Putin, he probably would not have understood what was happening........!

Not to disagree with you, because I don't know enough about it, but I did read that this was likely a false-flag event sponsored but not executed by the USA during the problem with Ukraine. I don't know how that idea worked itself out, and to be honest, whatever the USA says is reason enough for me to think it's something else.

As I say, I don't know but I would doubt Putin had any kind of motive for doing so. Perhaps this was a repeat of the shooting down of the JAL flight, in which instance, despite vehement denials, the USA were finally found out as having sponsored that flight to do spying overflights of the Kamchatka Peninsula, and was therefore a huge provocation. And apparently it wasn't the only flight involved in spying for the USA.

Motive is important here. Putin must have known that bringing down a civilian flight would create a massive shitstorm, so why would he do it?

Don't get me wrong, I have no love for Russia, the land of Stalin and Lenin and Trotsky and innumerable other psychopaths, but I have learned to neither love, nor respect nor trust the USA, the land of Reagan and Bush, and innumerable other psychopaths.

I don't know who brought down that airliner, but in my experience, the USA triumphantly declaring it was Russia is enough reason to think that maybe the USA did.

I don't buy into the USA "false flag operation" line. Whilst I admit that on occasions the USA gas shown itself to be distinctly Machiavellian in the area of covert operations, I think it has been pretty conclusively established that the aircraft was shot down by a SA11 (Buk) surface to air missile, a sophisticated piece of Russian kit supplied to the Pro Russian Ukranians shortly before it was fired.

I don't for a moment think Putin ordered the shoot down, but by encouraging and arming the perpetrators, and by his (Russias) energetic involvement in the subsequent attempts to cover it up he has played a significant part in the affair.

I'm also reminded that Putin is ex KGB, an organisation which in the area of false flag operations and Machiavellian activities certainly gave the US a run for its money!

Don't disagree, however, saying that Putin was likely complicit because he armed one side in the conflict leaves open the possibility that the USA might have been complicit because they armed the other side, and in fact provoked the conflict in the first place by trying to get a Russian buffer country to join the EU, which was the long game.

Perhaps we can agree that both countries are psychopathic and are not ever to be trusted and leave it at that.

Prayuth in my view is at least a latent psychopath, he's certainly a narcissist. So he probably felt very pleased to be shaking Putin's hand, as is evident from the photograph. Putin, on the other hand, appears comprehensively underwhelmed by the little general who appears to have the dubious gift of turning everything he touches to sh|t.

No, let's not leave it at that. Saying that Russia, run by an autocratic former KGB agent who have an amazing ability to make political opponents very dead, is like the US is just plain silly.

He would love that shot...

The fact he still looks like Winnie the Poo (without laxatives ) for some time doesn't change though

He might take up bare chested pursuits having just met Putin .

Arresting old ladies just doesn't reek of the tough guy image
