Oh, dear. It wasn't Russia, who claimed what Iraq has weapon of mass destroy and then against resolution UN intervened to Iraq. It wasn't Russia who bombed Yugoslavia. It isn't Russia who created fund to supply Ukraine with weapon and named it "Peace fund".

So, you repeat yours medias propaganda? This happens to those who believe that the head is given to a person to eat, and not to think. Alas. And now look at the facts: Whatever the Assad regime was, it was the last secular regime in the region. Islamists came to replace it. Do your media report the victory of democracy? But in fact, the Islamic radicals won, to whom the US provided all possible support, although not for the first time - Al Qaeda also began with CIA intrigues Are you told about the future prosperity of Syria? Libya is already "flourishing" in the ongoing civil war between two governments. Have you been told that Gaddafi is terrible? Look at Libya now. Wherever "democracy" sticks its paws, chaos arises. In 2-3 years, when there will be not law in Syria but Sharia, when Syrian women will take off their high heels and put on a burqa, when the day will begin with the cries of muezzins and not with the latest news, when another Al Qaeda cell will emerge and strengthen, reread this post. And remember that once upon a time this was a prosperous secular state. Like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq before it. In the meantime, Syria has already begun to be torn apart: on one side, Turkish troops are smashing the Kurds who were fleeing from Erdogan in Syria. On the other, Israel has already occupied a buffer zone on the Golan Heights. Are you still enjoying the events in Syria? It will pass very quickly. And when your media starts publishing the executions of gays by stoning, remember that it was your country of "democracy and equal opportunity" that had a hand in the rise of this regime, and "homophobic, authoritarian and imperialist" Russia that tried in every way to prevent it.

To all: the Siamroads business model is a cooperative. Guides are not hired employees, but independent partners who have united for joint advertising and promotion. And for each of them, membership in Siamroads is a way to earn extra money. Siamroads began 15 years ago, on October 26, 2009, when I offered a Thai student who was conducting tours in Bangkok help in finding clients in gratitude for the fact that he helped me and my husband during our visit to Bangkok and refused to take money for this help. Then I made him a website, which is still online - just in memory of those times https://bkk-tours.com/ You are seeing the latest version of that site. It no longer has that very first student, and the guides shown are Yaya (old-timers of this forum still remember him) and Samit. 15 years have passed since then, including 3 years of COVID. Siamroads is the only one that survived COVID. The rest of those who served gays in Southeast Asia - companies, agencies - went bankrupt and closed, including the once famous Purple Dragon. And I will not write here what it took to save SiamRoads, what tragedies and victories occurred at that time. Those who were involved - they know, and the rest do not need to know. Currently SiamRoads has about 30 guides. I communicate with everyone and have an idea of what is happening and with whom. The reason for this topic to appear was Keith's kind heart. He takes to heart what happens to the guys. This is his right. But do not shift responsibility to me and SiamRoads for what happens privately between a Thai guy who is a partner of SiamRoads and a Western tourist who used the services of this guide in the past. This is their personal, private matter. There are 30 guides. And all of them are young guys, just starting (or have started) their independent life in the developing countries of Southeast Asia. None of them were born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Each of them has difficulties and problems. Do I know about these problems? No comment - this is between me and the guide. Do I help them? I have been running these sites for 15 years and advertising for them, from here these guys get orders and clients. The rest I will leave to your imagination, and old-timers can remember the fundraiser on this forum for a guide from the Philippines, whose house was blown away by a hurricane. If you think that Best needs help, no one is stopping you, Keith knows where to find him. You can also order his tours - he is an excellent guide. Alternatively, you can go to the bar where Best has his main job and talk to the owner, like, why does he pay Best so little. Anyone interested?

You write with self-confidence and arrogance about things you have no idea about, you try to lecture about things you yourself don't understand one iota about, and you do it with the aplomb of Trump, whom you hate, but impersonate so well. "Who are you to lecture me?" (c) Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov

Hahaha This is joke of the day :))))) And most of them are located just in 2 areas: BoyzTown and Jomtien complex.

What about guide? Keith thinks what he wrote me something, but I got zero, so have no comments. If you are interested in learning about Best's personal life, I have no comment either - that's what the word "private" is for. But I can comment on Pattaya - from a business point of view, it's a shithole. Even Chiang Rai and Kanchanabury are more interesting from a business point of view. Pattaya only attracts meat lovers of both genders. I keep Pattaya on the Siamroads map only to give small support to these guys who get 2-3 tours a month from this "business" even at time of high season. Such support costs me zero money and 15-20 min of my time per month, but guys have additionally 4-6 KBahts per month for to survive.

That exactly I wrote: news for you. For us : expected changes.

This may be "news" for you, but here we knew about what was coming more than a week ago: Putin "sold" Syria to Erdogan back in November. That's why when Assad flew to Moscow last week, he sat in a hotel for two days and was not received in the Kremlin, and Putin was not even in Russia at the time.

What AI thinks about US. #3 is Russia, #4 Israel #5 North Korea

He was locked up because he voluntarily signed a contract with a terrorist organization - based on Ukraine by the way. There are many naive people here who distribute anti-Putin leaflets. But the refrigerator has long since decided everything. They are detained, their leaflets are taken away, and they are simply fined for unregistered actions. And the boy was locked up for 5 years. And not at all for leaflets, as your propaganda is trying to present him, but for carrying out the tasks of "good uncles". I still have no idea why CNN pulled that story now - it was in 2023.

Such a predictable and equally meaningless long post from an envious blue lemming? You still don't get it? No one reads your posts. Learn to write briefly and precisely. Stevie, have you taken the icon of St. Lichtman down from the wall in your home yet?

Dear, do you feel uncomfortable when you get facts instead of the propaganda you are shown on TV? Bla-bla-bla... A set of propaganda cliches? Have you tried thinking with your head? Many people there have a brain. Try it, maybe it will work? You will learn a lot about the world around you.

it is https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/ He did nothing terrible, but voluntarily and knowingly joined a terrorist organization and carried out their orders. If you do not read Russian, use a translator - I have provided a link to the website of an opposition organization. On this website, the authors also regret, pity the boy, but cannot deny that both the boy and his mother confirmed this during interrogation, the interrogation protocol bears the signatures of the boy and mother. Therefore, the boy is now studying in a special school - he is not 16 years old, according to the constitution, school education is mandatory, for such cases there are such boarding schools. They aren't Iton or summer scout camp, but there are working professional pedagogies. Personally, my opinion is that the mother did not keep an eye on her son and allowed him to do something stupid. For which he is now paying. And I don’t understand why CNN suddenly pulled this out now, because the story took place last year. Maybe someone needs anti-Russian hysteria few weeks before to leave oval office?

Train in USA Train in China:

Maybe brave, but still stupid kid, who joined terroristic organization, was caught and is now serving time in a special boarding school for children with deviant behavior

That's false statement. Total homicide number is about 7500 in 2023, for 145 mln. Not by police, but total.

this is not official propaganda - medusa.io opposition site outside of Russia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meduza

That "poor kid" independently, due to lack of supervision from his mother, he established contact with a terrorist organization, wrote an application to join and filled out a questionnaire and carried out their tasks... this was last year, I don't know why СNN suddenly pulled this out now... here is the opposition website, the full story about what happened, use Google to translate https://meduza.io/feature/2024/06/26/15-letnego-arseniya-turbina-posadili-na-pyat-let-po-obvineniyu-v-tom-chto-on-perepisyvalsya-s-legionom-svoboda-rossii-i-rasprostranyal-listovki-protiv-putina

Well, at least he's not among the 1000+ that police kill on US streets every year. 956 already in 2024. https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/ by the way: total amount of persons (including foreigners) who are in Russian prisons by "political" criminal articles is still less, than number of persons killed by police in US...

Well, BRICS+ is now 62% of World population since November'24.

Because it is your gossip?

Unfortunately for you, head of TGR Group - Rossi (real surname Maksakov) is citizen of Ukraine. https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy2735

Correct. But population of "democracy" is 2.5 times bigger
