It talks about easing sanctions on Russia, accepting that Ukraine will need to give up territory and withholding aid could force Ukraine's hand. It also quite rightly points out that US interests are different from Ukaraine's interests and has a lot of soft soap to ameliorate that message but the days of an open chequebook (not that there ever was) have come to an end. Meloni's off-the-cuff remarks to the Russian pranksters also revealed that the EU want to end this sooner rather than later. It is Zelenskiy who is holding out and cracks are beginning to show between him and his army chief Zaluzhny. US silent coup probaly incoming sometime before the spring. The US is your friend until they are not. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/04/world/europe/zelensky-rebuke-general-zaluzhny.html The office of President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday chastised Ukraine’s top military commander for publicly declaring the war at a stalemate, suggesting the comments would help the Russian invasion. It was a striking public rebuke that signaled an emerging rift between the military and civilian leadership at an already challenging time for Ukraine. Speaking on national television, a deputy head of the office of the president, Ihor Zhovkva, said Gen. Valery Zaluzhny’s assertion that the fight against Russia was deadlocked “eases the work of the aggressor,” adding that the comments stirred “panic” among Ukraine’s Western allies.

You don't need to ask the Pentagon's think tank the Rand Corporation, helpfully snuck out a report very quietly back in the spring. Basically, the US will force Ukraine to peace negotiations assuming Russia actually wants them with the threat of ending aid and arms. President Biden has said that this war will end at the negotiating table.[74] But the administration has not yet made any moves to push the parties toward talks. Although it is far from certain that a change in U.S. policy can spark negotiations, adopting one or more of the policies described in this Perspective could make talks more likely. We identify reasons why Russia and Ukraine may have mutual optimism about war and pessimism about peace. The literature on war termination suggests that such perceptions can lead to protracted conflict. Therefore, we highlight four options the United States has for shifting these dynamics: clarifying its plans for future support to Ukraine, making commitments to Ukraine's security, issuing assurances regarding the country's neutrality, and setting conditions for sanctions relief for Russia. A dramatic, overnight shift in U.S. policy is politically impossible—both domestically and with allies—and would be unwise in any case. But developing these instruments now and socializing them with Ukraine and with U.S. allies might help catalyze the eventual start of a process that could bring this war to a negotiated end in a time frame that would serve U.S. interests. The alternative is a long war that poses major challenges for the United States, Ukraine, and the rest of the world. https://www.rand.org/pubs/perspectives/PEA2510-1.html

Thanks if it's too good to be true then it probably is dounly so in Thailand. Coming to the conclusion the best safe haven for her monet is the 1.5% SCB EZ savings account that others have mentioned. The GSB Goverment Savings Bank seems to be popular though does anybody know anyjthing about them there website is useless or at least the English version is and when we walked into the Jomtien branch at the bus station it loooked like a typical Thai government office rather than the slick private banks I've been used to.

If you are regularly using your EV battery for non-motoring purposes surely this will degrade the longevity of the battery and be a hidden but real cost. Do you have any handle on what that could be?

Utter debasement of the honour system and really a symbol of how much Britain has fallen from grace and how desperate it is to curry favour for a trade agreement for South Korea.

My wife's sister was married to a Thai man who had land near Hat Yai Airport. Both his and her names were on the chanote for the land which was owned outright. He was divorced and had 2 children and died several years ago. Probate hasn't been done on his estate which consists basically of just the land. He died intestate with no will. She now wants to sell the land what will need to be done and are his children entitled to a share of the land when sold and if so how much? The children are grown up in their tenties and thought to be no good layabouts so can they be bought out prior to a sale? Many thanks for any insight and feedback.

Brillant answers many thanks it seemed to good to be true the way she explained it so i said I would do due dilgence. Those last 2 answers are just that. Looks like the SCB EZ savings account is the way to go the,

My wife seems to beleive it is 10% every year compounded - I think that is nonsense and impossible. Is it 10% over the whole 7 years then ? The banks here are thieves I'm getting 6% in a 1 year fixed currently in the UK. It's a rigged game here without even a nod to true competition.

Biden for the sake of the US and the world should gracefully retire along with Harris and appoint a candidate who can speak in long sentences, smile, looks good is at least 20 years younger and they will walk it. Trump's worst nightmare is Biden going.

https://www.scb.co.th/en/personal-banking/insurance/savings-insurance/triple-seven-77-7.html My wife has come into some money from the sale of her condo and the girl at SCB recommended this life insurance savings product that seems to have a 10% annual return compounded if you stay to full term at 7 years. She doesn't need the life insurance since we are childless and she is 58. Is this too good to be true, is there a catch? My first imperfect understanding is that you have to go to full term to realise this and if you bail out early for any reason you earn nothing (if indeed you can bail out). Any thoughts are most welcome and are there any other alternatives to products such as this which seem to guarantee your capital?

Europe is starting to prepare for a Trump win and reading a lot of articles in broadsheets saying it won't be bad as last time. There will be a team of Republican adults around him who will drive policy and he will be allowed to grandstand and preen without damaging too much. Putin will be happy though. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/comment/2023/11/22/liberals-trump-win-leftists-joe-scarborough-horrified/ But Morning Joe is right to worry. Trump has said that he would be the “retribution” for the thousands of people caught up in the Biden administration’s messes. There would be no executions, Joe, but there would be plenty of payback. For many of us, however, that would be a consummation devoutly to be wished. It can’t come soon enough. https://www.ft.com/content/04af82d3-3f21-452b-ae62-86bd8f07e506 But the key point is this: whether you loathe or love Trump, do not underestimate him. He really could win in 2024. Until then, anyone watching, living or investing in the US should watch that Agenda47 website. Especially if it leaves you horrified — and worrying about new variants of “treason and plot”.

They have done so for some time https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/exit-checks-on-passengers-leaving-the-uk/exit-checks-fact-sheet what will be the game changer is the joinging up of the various govermental and banking computers.Big Brother is indeed here and is watching you already.

If the Kennedy fella comes in he could take some of the Dem vote then Trump will be a shoe-in.

It will never happen Britain is more than bust and monies for folks living abroad and forgotten will be nobodies priority. But campaign away if it makes you happy. Indeed, highlighting it will only spark off some eagle-eyed bean counter to work out how to link up bank accounts, home office passport entry/exit to UK and DWP computers to determine residence and then stop any fraudulent claims and even backdate them if thought necessary. You can see some Sir Humphrey shilling 100s of mullions savings to the minister and getting a gong for it. https://www.thenational.scot/news/23903863.dwp-plan-monitor-benefit-claimants-bank-accounts/

That will be the tunnels the City Council build every year that don't work when it floods before they go a-whoring in Walking Street drinking at the Alulah-Ak Bar.

Interesting I had thought it was some Dr No type boiler room operation, but it turns out just to be a rich man's baubie to play with. Must have had some great parties inside off the scale of extravagant.

And yet you feel the need to comment. Hmmm

There's no bad money in Thailand just money and an army that doesn't fight wars or waste that money if you want morality in your economics I suggest you are probably in the wrong country.

Quite a place/palace !

The plot thickens it say Cyber Research Centre on the google maps and a search went all the way back !

This place has always intrigued me it looks like an Arab palace, but I've never seen any signs of life. Can anyone shed any light on this ? Arab Palace

Niels Colov has his fingers in many pies and I see him about quite a bit. https://www.facebook.com/NielsColov/

He was/is certainly successful -but his wife and one of his managers is now in prison for sexual trafficking, and he looks a mess.

Got it used HOLA free brower set to Thailand and I'm in many thanks !

Hmm, maybe they don't want outsiders playing around with it so is limited to Thai access only. I have tried on another Firefox, Opera and Chrome and same thing for everyone. Any ideas I don't have a Thai VPN.
