News Forum - Thailand’s neutrality ensures exclusion from US Summit for Democracy
You can all say what you want about this article or its author but whoever says that the conclusion is not true is either naive, ignorant or hypocrit. It is not an opinion, it is simply a fact. Anyway... It is called the US Summit of Democraty and that is exactly what it is. But actually what has this bla bla bla summit changed in the world year after year? Nothing, nothing at all. I wish it would but it does not. But for sure all I have been seeing the last few years is democracy having a bad time in the West, starting in my own country, France. So the US does not invite Thailand this year again. While its neutral stand with the Ukraine war is not helping, let me remind you that Thailand was not invited in 2021 neither. So Thailand is not a democracy and considered as an authoritarian regime. So why are the US still selling them weapons (https://www.dsca.mil/tags/thailand), some just a few months before the summit in 2021 (https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/us-approves-javelin-sale-to-thailand)? Why is the mighty democratic USA selling weapons to a military junta, so to the same people that they do not invite to their summit of democraty year after year? Surely this is a wrong thing to do? Do they think those weapons will bring democraty to Thailand? Surely they should invite them to at least "teach" them about democracy or so they can learn from other democracies "co-hosting" the event? But no, the military junta is only good to do business with, not to talk (bla bla bla) about democracy. And Thailand is of course only 1 example. I cannot get my head around this... well I am joking there. -

News Forum - Elderly British man overstays visa in Thailand by 11 years
Yeap, indeed. I really hope at least someone will be waiting for him when he eventually lands at Heathrow airport, otherwise it will be hell. In any case, he will indeed not be in a good place. Surely he must have been living a quite and peaceful life to be able to get away with it for 11 years. And if this complete idiot did not denounce him to the authorities that by the way perfom illegal activities on a daily basis on a national scale, notably by providing dodgy visas for some brown envelopes, he would have carried on living the last years of his life peacefully surrounded by his friends, people he knows, people he talks to everyday, in his daily routine with his same daily habits for so many years, without harming any other human being whatsoever. And now, the last years of his life are probably ruined. For what? Whatever his original situation that made him go the illegal way, and this story sounds to familiar to me not be linked with lack of money, 11 years later at 76, what is the f**** point? This is really pissing me off. -

News Forum - Thailand’s neutrality ensures exclusion from US Summit for Democracy
Was it too difficult to read the agenda? It takes a very prejudiced person to regurgitate inaccurate statements. Look at who is giving the presentations and what the subject matter is. If you still believe that the Zambia is in the USA or that the Costa Ricans are secret double knot agents for their USA when they discuss students role in democracy, then so be it. The sad fact is that you didn't even bother to look at the subject matter before offering your bankrupt 1970's era political sloganeering. What are you on about now? Another one who was too lazy or biased to read up on the conference. Who are you to label countries like Netherlands, or Canada or Mexico or France or Niger "guinea pigs". Based upon your previous comments, it seems to me that you probably object to the conference inclusion of Women's Role in Democracy, and topics such as Protecting against Spyware Rights and Anti Corruption Measures. The agenda was set by the 120 invitees and regional subjects were specifically agreed to by the regional participants. Is that something that upsets you? Or do you object to the international consensus to protect and to promote democracy? The USA is a primary sponsor of the event, but it is an INTERNATIONAL effort by the nations of the free world. Do you object to that too?- 3
