Recent anti-BRICS op-ed in pro-Western Bangkok Post penned by “academic” who associates with US State Department staff;
Just as Reuters recently revealed, US uses social media to poison public opinion against their own best interests to instead serve Washington’s interests;
BRICS membership for Thailand will obviously serve its best interests economically, in terms of political stability, and national security;
But if measures aren’t taken to neutralize US influence, a BRICS bid will face US-backed media campaigns, street protests and even violence;

US meddling as usual but they are on a downward spiral .The political concept of the Brics + is sound .Sovereignty of each nation ,trade and respect for each other are the way forward . Cajoling , blackmail and lies will no longer suffice for the new way forward . Thailand would do well to think long and hard about there future and disregard the machinations of a false democracy masquerading as a friend remembering that it is often said that the US has no friends ,just business associations .
