Hej
Så här kommenteras det ökande samarbetet mellan Ryssland och Thailand i The Moscow Times, här hävdar man att det är USA.s och Västvärldens kyligare relationer och ignorering av Thailand efter kuppen i maj 2014 som nu leder till att Juntan förbättrar sina relationer med Kina och Ryssland, detta ger nu öppningar för affärer mellan dessa länder, bl.a talas det om vapen och flygplan.
Konstigt tycker jag eftersom forumets militärvänner hävdar att det inte existerar någon ignorering eller försämring av relationerna mellan Thailand och USA och övriga Västvärlden p.g.a kuppen 2014, har forumets gula grupp möjligen fel igen?

Athit Perawongmetha / ReutersRussia's Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev shakes hand with Thailand's Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha after a news conference at Government House in Bangkok, April 8, 2015.
Bangkok, Thailand — Russia sees an opportunity to sell Thai military planes and other defense equipment, Russia's Trade Minister said Wednesday, as the two countries facing Western opprobrium seek to boost trade ties.
Thailand has stepped up engagement with both Russia and China in response to cooler relations with old ally the United States and other Western countries since the Thai military seized power from an elected government last May.
The United States scaled back military cooperation with Thailand after the coup.
"We are feeling out the interest on the Thai side to purchase military equipment," Russian Trade Minister Denis Manturov said in Bangkok on Wednesday.
"Our friends from the Western part of the world are ignoring Thailand."
Manturov is part of a delegation accompanying Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on an official visit. Medvedev is the first Russian prime minister to visit Thailand for 25 years.
Talks on defense-related sales were focused on military aircraft and related training and services, Manturov said. He declined to give details of specific deals under discussion.
As Thailand hosted those talks, it also sent a high-level delegation to China to boost military ties. Thai Defense Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan told reporters that he and Thai army chief General Udomdej Sitabutr would travel to China on Wednesday.
