Trump will not give a penny to Ukraine - Hungary PM Orban
Gweiloman replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Ukraine
Trump ทany have been light on details on how he would end the conflict but not the top EU diplomat, J. borrell. Here he says exactly how he would end the war. The Ukrainian existence depends on us. I know how to finish the war in Ukraine. I can finish the war in Ukraine in a couple of weeks just by cutting the supply. If I cut the supply of arms to Ukraine, Ukraine cannot resist, they will have to surrender, and the war will finish. https://www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/united-kingdom-speech-high-representativevice-president-josep-borrell-oxford-university-about-world_en -
Opinion: Russia's Potential For Defeat in War With Ukraine
Gweiloman replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Ukraine
Sorry to say this but this shows how ignorant you are about life. I’m willing to bet that you have never been to Russia or China (correct me if I’m wrong) and thus, have no idea about life in those countries. Commenting about something you have no knowledge about is akin to opining about EVs when you have never even sat in one. I have lived in Europe and visited other western countries more times than you can count. I’ve also lived in Hkg, visited China and Russia multiple times. My observations are that people are no more or no less happy of their political system as compared to another country. What’s important is what their government is doing for them and as I have linked, the Chinese people are among the happiest in the world. British? Even my daughters couldn’t wait to get out and have been for the past year with no plans to return soon. Just ask the folks here on AN. How many would like to return to their home countries? -
Opinion: Russia's Potential For Defeat in War With Ukraine
Gweiloman replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Ukraine
What an absolute piece of rubbish. It is obviously written by a western journalist, from the viewpoint of the west. They still don’t get it. Russia will absolutely win because they are well on the way to achieving their stated objectives; protecting the ethnic Russians in Eastern Ukraine and the de-militarisation and de-Nazification of Ukraine, not some made up land grab narrative pushed by the west. A defeated Russia offers the promise of reform and renewal, akin to historical precedents where defeat paved the way for democratic transition. By relinquishing its imperial ambitions, Russia can embark on a path towards normalcy, characterized by respect for the rule of law and democratic governance. As usual, a call for regime change, just because a sovereign nation has different systems. Who the f are these people that they think they have the right to decide for others what’s good for them? The usual hubris that the global majority is starting to reject. Take 2 ends of the spectrum; the US and China. Guess in which country, the population is happier? https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202303/1288231.shtml Reports such as this highlight why more and more countries are moving towards multipolarism where countries exhibit mutual respect, instead of trying to intimidate and dominate others. A very good example is how Hungary and Serbia welcomed the Chinese president with open arms as China is all about common prosperity and win-win for all, not the zero sum game that some western countries espouse. . -
Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital

Putin has an arrest warrant out for him. What does that mean? 7 EU countries sent representatives to his inauguration. Seems like they see the arrest warrant for what it is. A politically motivated move. -
Thai EV Market Remains Unfazed by European Sales Downturn
Gweiloman replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I’m guessing from your comment that you don’t own an EV. Majority of EV owners charge at home, at very cheap rates, whether here ,or in the UK. I have done 9,000 kms in my Dolphin in the 5-6 months since I bought it. I’m yet to charge at a public CS. Charging at home for most people should cost around Thb 300-350 for a range of about 400-440 km. Even if a certain amount is done at public CS, this is still significantly cheaper than the equivalent 600-800 baht for an ICEV. Even in the UK, public charging is getting cheaper as Tesla opens up more and more of their stations to non-Tesla owners. Other CPO’s will have to reduce their prices gradually. So EV motoring even in the UK will continue to be cheaper than petrol. -

Gweiloman replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
Ukraine said it. Must be true then. Those dastardly Russians. In other news, https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/feb/05/putin-promised-me-he-would-not-kill-zelenskiy-says-former-israeli-pm-naftali-bennett Putin is a smart man. Killing Zelensky runs the risk of someone smart replacing Zelensky. When playing football, you don’t “take out” your opponent’s weakest player. -

Yes, what a coincidence 1) this story appears in the Independent, as opposed to the Guardian or the Telegraph or FT etc 2) this story appears not long after the UK Ambassador to Russia was summoned for a meeting https://uk.news.yahoo.com/russia-summons-uk-ambassador-lord-150100299.html?guccounter=1 After all, it’s not as if Russia said all targets in Ukraine AND BEYOND or that Russia is conducting drills with nukes… -
If Ukraine has to depend on America for munitions, that would mean that they weren’t capable of fighting Russia in the first instance. It goes to follow therefore that they were convinced by the Biden administration that America would support them in this war (in other words, a proxy war) for as long as it takes (or is it as long as it is in America’s interests). Someone once said. To be America’s enemy is dangerous; to be its ally is fatal. How true those words are turning out to be. The corrupt politicians in the DPP will undoubtedly find that out for themselves one day.

Never a truer word said. I noticed that many are always demanding links, as if a link (western msm of course) is the gospel truth. They don’t seem to realise that a lot of links are nothing more than propaganda from western funded think tanks or reports by journalists citing unnamed sources. Any links that doesn’t fit with their narrative is of course discredited as Russian propaganda. Second only in demand for their western links are the flames and insults. Have you noticed that they almost never address any serious talking points, preferring only to insult and intimidate by sheer numbers?

Practically every country in the world, America included, recognises Taiwan as a province of China. Japan had invaded Taiwan during the 2nd WW but returned it to China after their defeat. The KMT party, led by CKS, retreated to Taiwan as they were losing the civil war. Both sides maintain that there is only one China, not Teo Chinas or one China, one Taiwan. China would like to reunify with Taiwan; after all, over 90% of the Taiwanese are Han Chinese. There are some in Taiwan who wants the same. Even the members and leadership of the KMT wants closer relations leading to possible reunification in the future. There is almost never 100% consensus on national matters. The majority of the Taiwanese prefer the status quo which is also acceptable to China. There is a minority however that wishes to separate from China which is one of China’s red line. Knowing this, America’s actions in selling arms to the DPP, stationing troops a few kms from China’s borders and training the Taiwanese army are what’s actually threatening Taiwan’s security. Why is America interfering in another sovereign country’s internal affairs. Sorry, that was a rhetorical question. America is well known for sowing discontent around the world. Chaos is good for (arms sales) business and we all know the influence the MIC has in America. Agree or disagree, most of the world sees it this way.

Ukraine, with the aid of the best military minds the west has to offer, an army trained by NATO, together with billions of dollars worth of equipment and weapons failed spectacularly in their counter offensive, losing more ground than they captured. Since the conflict began, Russia has advanced slowly but surely, capturing up to 18% of Ukraine’s pre-conflict territory. Sounds to me that they are rather competent.

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Gweiloman replied to Bandersnatch's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
If you had a genuine question, I’m sure you will get no shortage of answers here. Some questions will have matter of fact answers for eg, how many kms Cana fully charges BYD Seal do in the real world? Others may be more subjective such as is the Neta V a better for value money vehicle compared to similarly priced ICEVs and why. Yet others could be more thought provoking like I can’t charge at home, can I live conveniently with an EV? All these questions will be answered truthfully without exaggerations as I believe the majority of EV owners are genuinely helpful and will share their real life experiences. So play proper and you will be treated with the respect you deserve. -

Plenty of folks who are interested in learning about EVs, myself included, have come on here and learned loads. Some however come on merely to troll Personally, I love a good troll but some posters are so incompetent as to try it with false information, making themselves look foolish and ridiculous in the process and then digging even deeper when called out. Sound familiar? -

I don’t know what Putin propagandists would love. Do you have a link? The longer the conflict goes on, the better for my personal circumstances.
