I'm almost certain this was sprayed by a foreigner because 1) Laos don't do graffiti 2) Laos almost never curse. The latter I learnt from Vietnamese living here. Also, during five months in Namibia, I never heard shit or fuck once, so such abstention is possible.

More than a statement against Putin, this is a fuck you against Laos, for Laos are confronted by this public obscenity, and will have to clean it up. That it's just 12 yards from a temple's entrance is an extra insult. Western barbarity comes to Laos.
