Has the supreme queen la queefa of Fascist U.S. released the promised Epstein files yet?
Probably not since heโs a lying pathetic raping sack of shit whose name is riddled within the files.
Good on countries telling America to collectively go fuck themselves!
Not to worry, heโs had a team of 1000 people working 24h a day for weeks to scrub his name out.
The only time his name will appear is as the person who called the cops to arrest him for his terrible pedo crimes. (They just scratched through the original name and wrote his in in crayon but Fox News will blast that shit on 10 for a week and - bam. Epstein kills himself again.)
Solid choice by Thailand and hopefully ore countries will follow suit.
Smart. Good on Thailand.
Yessss the plan is coming together for swedish world domination. Eat this denmark /s
Hopefully Swiss does too. They're currently going over the books again.
Buying fighter jets from a neutral country
*ex-neutral
Considering they've got a quasi war over there that's not great news...
awww yisss gripens
Finally it'll no longer be American aircraft being used to bomb Cambodia. Are we happy about this?
For those not in the loop, Thailand has had an extremely unstable government for decades now. There's been a change in leadership because the previous Thai PM (who was basically the Thai version of Ivanka Trump) was being too obsequious to Hun Sen (who technically isn't leader of Cambodia, but still runs the country). There's a ridiculous amount of corruption in the governments of both Thailand and Cambodia and some of that corruption transcends national borders.
The Thai military wants to flex it's muscles, possibly in an effort to to build up to yet another military coup.
There is a dispute over ownership of a temple. The ICJ ruled that the temple belonged to Cambodia in the 1960s and Thailand left the ICJ because of this. The territory in dispute isn't really worth much, it's mostly an excuse for Thailand to bully Cambodia when it's politically expedient. Cambodia is an incredibly poor country and is not a match for the Thai military.
But someday it'll be European made weapons being used in this mess instead of US weapons, is that a good thing?
Silver linings man, silver linings.
Tmone way or another, those jets are coming, be it from the US or elsewhere, might as well be Sweden. At least this is had for the US which, again, is not much more than silver linings, but it's something
So countries that supply weapons to other countries are in no way complicit in how those weapons are used?
Not saying that at all, that's why I said "silver linings"
