Personality over cash. I know farangs who are hated within their villages - and they deserve it. I know others who the Thais seek out to join them at social occasions. It's always personality led over cash. Always.

AI Overview +2 China's total debt is substantial, exceeding $50 trillion, with a significant portion owed by local governments and corporations. The national debt is estimated at 16.65 trillion U.S. dollars in 2024, with projections indicating a continued upward trend. This debt represents a large percentage of China's GDP, with local government debt in particular raising concerns about potential financial instability.

There is no peace treaty. Make another stupid comment now please.

He's nor near death. It's worse.

It requires intelligence. I bet you haven't stepped a foot in China in your life. What they say and what they mean are not the same thing.. It will be a cold day in he'll when the CCP.says- "the primary political officer is an utter wa*k." It will be today when I say - so are you for not comprehending reality

Outside he is "nearly dead" there is no explanation. This is "Santa misse Christmas due to scheduling clash" territory. That's how absurd it is

Xi will be missing from the next BRICS meeting due to a "scheduling issue." If you believe that there is something wrong with your head. Also - The Four Main Groups Challenging Xi Jinping - Jamestown https://share.google/UfOgDVyNphNur2bQh

Nonsense. Intel is showing that the CCP has turned against Xi for siding with Iran and Russia in particular and attracting the wrath of Trump - the tariff escalation was the end of Xi. The Xiaoping school of government is back on the agenda. Xi was set for life before he lost the plot and decided to side with, as one senior CCP official put it, "worthless countries." Ignoring Trump smashing China out the park with tariffs is childish. Contrary to the BS left wing media reports - the CCP knew with their crushing debt situation they couldn't afford a trade war.

Those of you on my personal FB page. One of my oldest friends was the quartermaster for the IAEA. My cousin was also a nuclear inspector. They are both on my friends list. The idea that 8 x IR-6 units and thousands of cascades can be moved in the back of trucks without leakage is beyond the realms of possibility. The idea that these units could be stripped down and moved in a few days is laughable. Pick a side. Either agree with Khamenei that Iran won a great victory over the USA and Israel. Or agree with the Iranian foreign minister who confirmed the sites were destroyed. It's a simple choice.

The IAEA has already confirmed there was no surface radiation at these sites. If you believe that the IR-6 and 3000 cascades were moved without the IAEA, Mossad, internal Iranian spies, the CIA and dozens of satellites noticing then I have a bridge to sell you. No one is this stupid. No one.

Iran's foreign minister confirmed the nuclear facilities were destroyed. No serious person is listening to Khamenei. You should be embarrassed to bring up his name. The US Senate is a democratic institution. Elections have consequences. The GOP majority has the right to push back on Democrat BS. You'll be unaware that Trump's 35 minute bombing campaign is a pittance compared to the bombing carried out by Obama, including the deliberate assassination of an American citizen. You're ranting on the wrong forum.

That clip is surreal. CNN producers need to intervene with this show. It's ridiculing their entire channel on a daily basis. The other day they had a contributor say that 250 MILLION people were killed at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Seriously. Enough is enough.

The Guardian has misread this story. Xi is expected to resign in August. Senior Xi loyalist generals are being removed. China is over $50 trillion in debt. Chinese wealth is flooding overseas - capital flight is driving the country to bankruptcy. Cosying up to Iran and Russia has backfired. Trump's tariffs are causing serious disruption to industrial capacity. internal conflicts are soaring. Riots and industrial arson reported as companies cannot meet payroll. However, the true barometer of who is in power in China is military command. The excuse for this guy is corruption - the truth is the CCP cleaning house. Trump is going to destroy Chinese expansionism without firing a shot. The threat to Taiwan has gone.

Appalling justice - I'll get into it later - the hot takes on X are utterly destructive of her reputation - DEI idiot.

I don't have time just now - go read the utter destruction of Justice Jackson - she's been called out continually including a line about not wanting to read "boring legalese." Stunning stuff from the Supreme Court today, just magnificent.

Stunning victory - absolute crushing blow to the leftist activist judges. Gary O'Donoghue Chief North America correspondent, reporting from Washington DC This is a significant win for the Trump administration and the president. Nationwide injunctions on Donald Trump’s blizzard of executive orders have angered him and frustrated his agenda. And while these injunctions are not being removed entirely, their scope is being significantly limited. It will be harder for individuals and groups to prevent controversial policies such as the ending of birthright citizenship from being enforced. Importantly though, the challenges to these policies will still proceed through the courts, potentially right up to the Supreme Court – and the merits or constitutionality of each case is a separate question to what’s been decided today. In truth, this is an issue that administrations of both complexions have complained about, so expect Republicans to see this as a double-edged sword. When and if a Democrat enters the White House, they will enjoy the same legal advantages as Donald Trump will now make the most of. There will also be much more work for lawyers – and who’s not in favour of that! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cz9yj7k5953t

Is this BS still going? stop feeding these witless trolls - complete and utter clowns. No doubt one of them will start arguing that Abbas is lying. Fools. Iran's foreign minister has admitted that "excessive and serious" damage was done to the country's nuclear sites in the recent US and Israeli bombings. Abbas Araghchi told a state broadcaster on Thursday evening that an assessment of the damage is being carried out by the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crmv3kp744ro

Iran admits they've enriched to 60% and some random Chang slugger takes to the Internet declaring insider knowledge. What a pathetic life.

Hilarious - the Russians have already confirmed that the Iranians have a nuclear weapons program. Then they crapped it when Trump called them out. And who was this wandering minstrel who said such a thing? None other than the former President Medvedev. So give it a rest with your selective reading of the news, the point has been well proved already. Yes, Iran has admitted to enriching uranium to 60%, which is significantly higher than the 3.67% limit set by the 2015 nuclear deal (JCPOA) and far above what is needed for civilian purposes. Weapons-grade uranium is enriched to 90%. The IAEA has also reported that Iran has accumulated enough 60% enriched uranium to potentially produce nine nuclear bombs. Here's a more detailed breakdown: https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/06/24/trump-blasts-medvedev-over-iran-nuclear-comments-a89545

Two weeks ago - "Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapons program, Donald is delusional." This week - "The attacks have only set back Iran's nuclear weapons program a few months, Donald is a failure." Or: "Na, na, na, na, na - Iran moved their nuke capability before Donald's bombs hit." Source - utter demented clowns on the Internet.

Okay - so lets get to the bottom of this - the Claim - Iran moved the centrifuges 1. Without Mossad seeing it happen. 2. Without multiple satellites seeing it happen. 3. Without spies within the Iranian nuclear programme seeing it happen 4. A minimum of eight IR-6 and as many as 3000 cascades disassembled, moved to the surface, trucked and driven away within a couple of days. Each one of these IRT-6 being over 2 metres in length, hypersensitive to movement - and RADIOACTIVE. 5. The IAEA has stated that there is no sign of radioactive leakage or material on the surface of Fordow. Versus Random guy on Asean Now saying the Iranians swiftly moved the IR-6. Just give it a rest with this drivel.

You can always be relied upon to make a worthless contribution.

I wonder how many MAGA will vote for Mamdani just to make sure he wins. 🤔
