The system where women are systematically wrapped into sex work due to existing infrastructure and poverty, where US military presence creates the demand, and where Western tourism perpetuates supply – this is femicide.

    Thinking about this and liberals selective outrage when they go on about how “we must help the women in [place we’re currently bombing]!” and Vietnam and the “kichijon” towns in occupied Korea. Another level of depravity is that many were war-orphans and under-aged.

    Two USS Lincoln sailors sent back to ship after drunken brawl in notorious Thai party town

    On Thursday morning, a Thai citizen placed an emergency call reporting that two U.S. service members had gotten into a physical altercation near a town bar at 1:30 a.m., MS NOW reported, citing local police. After Thai police responded, the Americans were brought to a U.S.-Thailand joint operations center situated in the town’s Hard Rock Cafe before being transferred back to the aircraft carrier.

    Speaking to the outlet, a Thai official described the incident as “minor.” He added that the service members were drunk and that the emergency caller was worried the altercation might intensify.

    Imagine all the stupid shit these troops are saying to these sex workers that they shouldn’t be saying, poke them with the right questions and you’d get all kinds of stuff. I’ve been very open about my opposition to sex work but I do wonder if Russia or China or other intelligence operations have some agents there running a sex business in waiting for events like this.
