News Forum - 5 countries’ representatives walk out when Russian official speaks in Bangkok
What are you off on a tangent about? The small contingent of 450 US personnel is at the invitation of the Somalia government. Do you see the difference there between the Ukraine and the criminal Russia invasion? The USA has permission to be in Somalia, the USA is supporting the legitimate Somali government defend against the al shabab jihadists. Russia does not have permission from the Ukraine to be on Ukraine soil and is attacking, not defending the Ukraine. No one is stopping you from asking questions. It may be that you are misinterpreting the rejection of your nonsensical allegations as being stopped from asking questions. Perhaps people are weary of the political hectoring from a Russian apologist? -

Meaningless since the Ruble is under capital controls. The Russian people think they are rich yet can’t spend the money. Funny how that works. There is no way to know what the Ruble is worth until it’s allowed to float freely. No one ever talks about the flip side of that coin. A strong Ruble means everything Russia spends money on in Rubles costs more. Things like salaries, internal goods and energy. There is still a whole host of things Russia buys internally which now costs a lot more. It’s part of the reason their inflation rate is 20% and rising. Russia’s central bank president said last month the system isn’t sustainable and the true pain will arrive in the 3rd and 4th quarter. Of course Putin said that wasn’t true, that everything is just fine. -

Too bad you did not take the time to learn what APEC is and why the walkout was reasonable. Russia has rejected the underlying principles of APEC. APEC's primary purpose is to promote sustainable economic growth, trade and investment, and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region. APEC aims to strengthen regional economic integration by removing impediments to trade and investment “at the border”, enhancing supply chain connectivity "across the border" and improving the business environment "behind the border." It works with the World Trade Organization to implement these goals in the Asia Pacific region.The goal is to improve the operating environment for business by cutting red tape and other barriers. APEC also helps member economies build the institutional capacity to implement and take advantage of the benefits of trade and investment reform. APEC supports the multilateral trade negotiations underway in the World Trade Organization and complements the goals of the G20. Russia has started the process to WITHDRAW from the WTO.It also intends to withdraw from other trade and public health agencies such as WHO. https://www.politico.eu/article/russia-takes-first-steps-to-withdraw-from-wto-who/ Why then should the founding members of APEC (and who pay for much of its operating costs) sit there and have to listen to an entity that rejects the principles of APEC. Russia is one of the worst environmental polluters and its Siberian mineral and oil development has destroyed millions of hectares of land in Siberia. Russia has refused to discuss any form of mitigating its leaking oil pipelines. Why then do you admonsih these countries for not wasting time when it is Russia that would not discuss the oil pollution? There is no point in discussing trade interconnectivity since Russia is subject to western trade sanctions since it commenced its illegal invasion of the Ukraine and the undertook its scorched earth strategy. -

I wouldn’t say that. No one expects Yemen or Saudi Arabia to expand the war into neighboring countries. Russia is fully expected to attack Moldova, the Baltic States and either Romanian or Poland followed by the other pretty much in that order once done with Ukraine. It’s about stopping the next invasion, and why the Russian army will die in Ukraine. -
