Let me connect the dots for you. Sending a warship in defense of Hamas' enemy is likely to trigger reprisals. They're not going to attack a carrier fleet. They're going to attack a softer target. It's not hard to believe that may have pre-positioned some soldiers in the US to do that. The wide open US border would be the perfect way to get them into the country.

When I moved to Bangkok, my company paid a nice salary but no perks like rent, car, driver, etc. Four years on, company got bought by a Euro corporation and their employees got a much smaller salary, but 120,000 monthly rent allowance. Consequently, I had a 20,000 baht apartment in one building and my workmate had a similar sized apartment, same management company, 50 meters away from my building, and her rent was 120K. Both near Asoke. Her building was slightly newer, but that's not the difference. Real estate agents will find you an apartment that matches any ridiculous budget a company will allow.

I'm currently in China, anxiously waiting on my Thursday flight to BKK. That's why this piqued my interest. Honk your horn and your bank account gets locked. Threaten, and call on your followers to kill health care workers, and she's free to go on.

We'll see.

I hope for the US' sake you're right. But don't be surprised if they commit reprisals in the UK as well. This attack was long in the planning. And shows a certain lack of concern about the consequences. That the intelligence communities didn't see it coming is rather disturbing. Not hard to imagine they've pre-placed soldiers all over the world.

Britain was fighting to save the World from Nazi domination, that was rather more important than the Palestinian issue What did the Nazis have to do with the Balfour Declaration of 1917? But again, that's another topic for another thread.

Maybe, but you can always decide not to take them after getting a complete workup. I'd go for the professional help.

yes the one you posted. My point being that the Vice article from 2022 says she wasn't locked up in 2022. Speaking in a Quebec campground parking lot on May 24, And the RT article from yesterday said Leader of group, seen as a cult, sent warning letters urging residents to “be forewarned and prepared” as locals try to remove them Which would lead me to believe she's not currently banged up.

You know what happens when I make assumptions... I was hoping to get some Canuck insights. BTW, that article you quoted was from 2021.

Off topic, I know, but do they have linen pants? I love linen pants in the tropics.

Good catch, but which article? Because the most recent (RT article from yesterday) says: “We are aware of the presence of a group sometimes referred to as the Kingdom of Canada,” Tyler Bates, commander of Saskatchewan RCMP’s South District, was cited as saying. The official noted that there were a number of calls related to “this group’s presence in the community over the last two weeks or so.” Is she in the slammer and her followers doing her bidding?

This conflict has British fingerprints all over it. But that's another topic for another thread. Sadly, I think it's become insolvable over the past hundred years.

He's just parroting the Dem Mayors, like Adams: NYC Mayor Eric Adams warns illegal immigrants will DESTROY the city... And that's with NYC absorbing about half of their fair share of the 8 million illegal, unvetted migrants. Not hard to extrapolate that to the country... https://www.newstarget.com/2023-09-08-nyc-mayor-adams-illegal-immigrants-destroy-city.html

When I read the RT headline, I thought it was crazy. Celine Dion would never... https://www.rt.com/news/584342-queen-canada-threatens-villagers/ Reading the article and doing a little Binging (since Google's blocked here), it's even crazier. https://globalnews.ca/news/8417379/queen-of-canada-covid-online-threats/ https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7n8aw/queen-of-canada-roman-didulo-qanon-global Can any Canucks explain how this whackadoodle isn't in jail for inciting violence?

Boots on the ground? Doubtful. I think they just want to prevent a repeat of the USS Liberty incident. I'm pretty sure there's US intelligence assets that will be seeing stuff the Israelis don't want them seeing. Again.

Don't know that I'd be holding up Churchill or his ilk right now. Today's conflict can be tied directly to their duplicitous dealing in the Middle East to "save Britain". Both World Wars. The world's been paying for their colonial duplicity for over a century.

Wonder how many Hamas soldiers have crossed the Mexico/US border, and what they may have planned in the USA... And if they haven't yet, how many are on their way.

I think there's laws against doing it with pigeons. In addition to natural laws.

I have no objection to a tourism tax increase, but add it to the cost of a plane ticket, not a separate inconvenience. And if you were smart, you could have done it years ago and nobody would have even noticed. Last flight into Thailand, the airfare was about 1/3 of the total ticket price. The rest was taxes and fees. Another $10 wouldn't even make a dent. Getting set up to make a separate payment online on an int'l phone, or waiting in yet another queue would hurt worse.

I'll bet that's a popular posting when it's -40C back home.

Should be easy enough to pull up the building permit and the inspection records. Oh, wait.

Gonna need a link there...

That's because Dems aren't allowed to discuss anything but a Biden/Harris run. Lest they lose their place at the table (and all future campaign funding).

You do understand that Youtube is only a conduit, and getting facts from Youtube is like getting them from "the printed word", or from "the interweb" or, like when I was growing up, from "the newspaper".

Dallas leans blue, but he didn't get 98% of the vote because he was a Dem. Especially not on a re-election. He must have been doing something they like during his first 4 years.
