The government of Thailand has focussed on the most important potential outcome of the conflict - the potential fall in Russian and Ukraine tourists
33% drop in the Russian stocket market before they halted trading, 10.5% drop in Rubles, dozens of anti-war protests across Russia with over 1700 arrests, massive international condemnation and sanctions, et al.
Possibly even more impacting is the fact that Putin's actions have just given the "Green Light" to every free nation on Earth to impose whatever sanctions they want on Russia without having to justify their actions to anyone. It appears that the Russian people are already aware of this, and not too happy.
If you scroll through https://reddit.com/r/ukraine apparently there's loads of photos of soliders there, and from the responses I guess they just look like kids on both sides.
Kids going off to kill each other for some delusional old man's nostalgic memory of grandeur. Lovely.

I'm just curious as to what the upcoming civil war in Ukraine will look like. Iraq didn't exactly have the backing of the West in this manner, so this should be interesting.
