I think you are wrong about this,giving in to Putin would have only made him stronger in his believe Russia is invincible and it would even encourage him more to try to "reestablish the old USSR" like he said he wanted to do. I strongly believe that now he realizes he has made a very big mistake but being the man he is he will never admit that because it will show weakness and that in itself would be very dangerous to him. It is also very clear to him that even the thought of entering any NATO members country will mean the end of him and Russia as we know it. You think support to the Ukraine will dwindle,i think it will not. The USA is getting rid of an age old enemy for a relatively cheap price,there is a lot more to that but that is for another discussion. No loss of life for them and no real danger,the threat of nuclear war has always been there. Europe is also realizing that the Ukraine is in fact fighting their battle. Russia is more and more isolating itself and slowly their economy is collapsing. You are saying it is not your war,it is a war against pure evil and the Ukraine is fighting for all the right reasons. Honest question,if you had a neighbor who wanted a piece of your garden for whatever made up reason,would you give it to him to keep the peace?Roll over and show your weakness in the hope he would stop?The world does not work that way. Do you see what is going on?

Why is that telling?

Or they need ATACMS so they can do some damage to the places these supersonic missiles are fired from. And the can take out the bridge 100%.

Andrej Medvedev a former commandant of the Wagner group has asked for asylum in Norway and promised to tell everything he knows. Putin is not going to like that.

Christine Lambrecht ,German minister of Defense has stepped down. She blundered a few times and was not really up to date with all of the facts. hope fully they can find some one who keeps supporting the Ukraine and send more real help.

He has said he is no longer against sending Leopard 2 tanks.

Hope fully soon a few countries will be sending Leopard 2 tanks. It could make a difference really fast. Germany is no longer against the idea of sending and the same goes for the Netherlands,Poland and Finland. if i am correct. The countries just need permission to send them from the country of origin,which is Germany.

Their mother will say"My boy is a good boy but some one made him angry" Lucky for the victim no one was wearing combat boots.

Yes i would think sending equipment over here to do it would cost a small fortune already. https://www.smit.com/#view/map

An Owl?

The chicken/egg thing has been solved already.

Sundays going north is very quiet usually but only in the morning. In the afternoon many weekend people head back and traffic is crazy. We usually go in the morning and return from Bangkok around 3pm. Cha-am Bangkok and back.

From what i read he heard noise outside and saw the boy,he should have called the cops.

If you value your privacy do not take your phone with you when you leave your house,remember having your sim card registered? "Goodbye Privacy"was a long time ago already. People are easy to find these days.

It is a problem that can only be solved by society as a whole. But there has to be a will to change it and that i do not see happening soon.

Creativity often comes out of necessity. If we rely on others too much we become clones of their habits and thinking. Some education will help people and some education will keep people down. When you are on your own and no one can help you that is when it starts. You mention guitar playing,i just got my first guitar and all i learned so far is a few cords but i do not really know what to do with it. So i just play with the strings and then i hear some notes that remind me of a song i know. I keep plucking away and come up with new melodies. I am too old to ever learn to play the guitar really well but i don't care. I should have started years ago but i was not able to and not in the right frame of mind.

RIP Jeff.

Yes we will see how this will pan out and i agree with the sentiment that Many Thais have already registered and there for the government already has all of their details. I do thi nk that there are a lot more then a million who don't bother to register. Also people who buy in shops probably do not have the ability to grow it themselves. Registering sim cards is something that i can see a use for but to register to smoke a joint? It seems a bit silly to me but i guess bureaucrazy is what they do here. Again when was the last time you had to give your id to buy alcohol? I know (a)lot of Thai people who have been growing it for many years and no matter what the law says they will just continue to do so,some is just used for cooking so no psycological effect at all.

They say this has nothing to do with what is going on right now but a Dutch newspaper reported that 1275 tanks and armored vehicles as well as artillery has arrived in a Dutch harbor belonging to the US army. It is going to Poland and Lithuania to strengthen the US presence . Apparently it was already planned in 2014 after russia invaded Crimea.I am sure some one is going to cry foul over this.

I did not start this topic to see if any scientific research has been done on whatever.Just basically wanted to point out the absurdity of being put in a data base just for buying a controlled herb. Like i said when was the last time your name was placed in a data base when you bought alcohol? All my life i have believed that any freedom we have comes with rules and when you break these rules there are consequences,fair enough. Buying Cannabis in Thailand is not illegal when you are of age and blah blah. So why the need for a database? Gun owner ship in a data base,ok,easy to see why. A plant that has been around probably longer then people have should be free to use. I did say use and not abuse. Some people can handle all kind of drugs,others don't. Those "few" do not have to be saved,with freedom comes responsibility. You make some good points but placing links does not do much for me. Personal fresh ideas is what i like to see in a discussion,make people think instead of hearing the same old things over and over.

What kind of brickwall?Hollow or not? How heavy is the object to he hung?

Thanks for posting that,i had not seen that article before,good to see more countries realize Cannabis use is not so bad after all. When you compare it to more dangerous drugs it does not appear to be really dangerous,of course there is always abuse but you can not blame that on the Cannabis it self.
