@Morch, - #24
you completely missed my point of view.
It's not about laughing Iran, it's about the world laughing at America's liability. The USA together with 7 other countries reached a deal/contract lifting sanctions against the Iran for stopping its atomic program.
The USA signed this contract. It doesn't depend who was or is POTUS. As Trump canceled this contract that means the USA isn't reliable. If you make a contract with the USA today be prepared it will cancel the contract tomorrow. Therefore it's better to make no contracts with the USA. It isn't worth the paper used for signing the deal.
That is what the Americans under Trump have to consider. A contract with Trump's signature is only useful as a toilet tissue. Trump and America would cry foul, if Kim would breach a NK-US atomic contract within a short time. The world would tell Trump and the USA, that's what you did with the Iran-deal/contract. Do you understand now: the USA a laughing stock?!
Do you believe that the other 7 nations would follow Trump and Pompeo into an made-up US-Iran war?

If it wouldn't be so serious: aren't the USA now under Trump a laughing stock? The masters of contradictions and lies.
First, Trump canceled the Iranian nuclear deal.
Second, Pompeo warns Iran on nuclear arms; hopes military force will never be needed.
Like master, like man. The USA are now very, very far away of reliability, common sense.
When Tump and his submissive underlings open their mouths, brain and memory are closed assuming there exists some at all.

Although it's really amazing that the Thai police (squad of 13 – in words thirteen!) tried to bring this criminal monk home without contacting the German offices) nearly nobody is talking here about the chances of getting asylum in Germany.
To be recognized as a (refugee or) asylum seeker you have to fulfill a lot of conditions.
-
NOT coming from a so called „safe country of origin“. Thailand belongs to the safe countries, in spite of the moderate junta. Therefore no reason for asylum.
-
Only extremely sick people have a chance for staying in Germany. I don't know if the German office will recognize the massive embezzlement of monastery funds as severe sickness. 5555
-
Prosecution because of religion (and other elementary rights/ reasons). It will be hard for the former monk to improve this.
-
To be young in order to get a vocational training. He is a little bit too old.
-
Fleeing from Syria.
-
Not being a criminal.... ehem, ehem
This former monk only made one mistake. He should have done this 2 years before, entering Germany in the Bremen area. The Bremen BAMF office is under (criminal) investigation for unlawfully recognizing the status of a refugee/asylee in too many cases.

Weapons are a symptom, not the disease. The disease is cultural.
It's open to dispute, if the weapons are a symptom or a disease. Fact is that they are used to solve a problem violently. It's obvious that mainly in the USA the weapons are used when something isn't okay. It doesn't happen in this way and so often in other „civilized“ countries.
So let me exaggerate it. Many (many) US Americans have a gene, named violence. They are not used to solve problems with normal sense, but by a violent behavior. Examples in history and presence:
-
Killing the Amerindians when occupying their land, also called: colonizing America
-
Slavery over many hundred years (is dominated by violence)
-
Read the TV posts, especially when it concerns crimes, re. alleged crimes. It is a typical reaction of many US Americans with words as: „kill him“, „life sentence“ (for minor offenses), „cut his balls“, etc.
-
the idea to solve North-South Korea problem by weapons (not by diplomacy) and -..... very up to date
-
electing a (childish) obnoxious, undiplomatic man as POTUS who proclaimed wars to solve problems in the world (Iran, N-K, trade wars, etc.). In „normal“ countries this would never had happened to chose such a violent man for the top job of a state.
Nowhere in the free world you'll find such an aggressive and violent behavior.
@lannarebirth, please no quibble about the word „gene“. Don't understand it biologically, but „culturally“.
Understand me right, not all Americans are like this, but the percentage of people with such an gun attitude/mindset is undoubtedly much higher than in „normal“ countries without this gun obsession.
The guns (laws) are a propensity and a symbol for violence.
So it seems impossible to solve the gun-crime problem in the USA. Because of the unbelievable power of the NRA lobbyism neither Reps nor Dems can/will solve the problem in the near future.

Hereby you confirm that the USA have an overwhelming number of sick people, in contrast to other countries. De facto, not in my imagination.
BTW, here your beloved 2nd amendment: from Dec. 15, 1791
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.”
Wasn't that the time when the immigrated settlers fought against the English occupation forces? It took ~200 years to eliminate slavery in the USA constitution and it will take about 1,000 years to kill the 2nd amendment, if …. yes if the Americans did not yet extinguish themselves – by guns.

I believe these are annual exercises and were planned and known about well in advance. They were not secret or unexpected.
I'm afraid you are not well informed.
The annual exercises have been delayed for the Olympic winter games in SK. So there is the question when the US and SK could do it for the (shie“t) Olympic winter games (=sports), why couldn't they do it for a more important reason: peace ??? At least trying it and looking for the result.
Maybe the incompetent LOTUS (Liar Of The....) will get very angry, as normal, if his good NK friend Kim will cancel the meeting, which should have „made Trump great again“.
January 2018: http://time.com/5100039/donald-trump-kim-jong-un-good-relationship/
“I probably have a very good relationship with Kim Jong Un,” Mr. Trump said in the Thursday interview. “I have relationships with people. I think you people are surprised.”
Trump has made dramatic switches in the past with other opponents, though typically the stakes were political and did not involve international diplomacy.

Congratulation,

Who will trust the lying US government. It's better to believe in Santa Claus. But it's up to NK.
Maybe the Chinese could convince Kim for a change showing him the example of the positive Chinese economic development since Deng. The advantage for Kim for a deal with the US, more economic freedom and he wouldn't be forced to give up his dictatorship, and at the same time the NK people would be more happy.
It seems Trumps wants his name in the history books, although he already has one, a completely negative one. The main reason Kim Yong-Un for changing his atomic policy is not the LOTUS (Liar of …. ), but his own atomic ambition. The last explosion was „a little bit“ too strong, so that this ground and material cannot be used anymore. So it's easy for him to give up the atomic policy in exchange for some "advantages".
BTW, Pompeo forgot the Chinese will have a saying in this „deal“. How naive!

Military is an essential part of USA society. For European countries the military is simply an necessity. We would be much better off, if we wound't have to spend money to military, but we also understand the facts and do it, because we have to.

And, of course, many a European nations are able to invest less in it's armed forces, knowing that the US is there to back them up.
As @bristolboy said in another context:
QuoteNice evasion.
That the European nations know they are „backed up“ by the US maybe partly true. But the main difference between the US and Europe is: Europe has learnt from the past. That means avoiding wars, reducing the military budgets as much as possible. Beside the fact that die US has the absolutely #1 highest military budget
hey want to be the globel power #1 – for wathever reason. Blinded by this pride they started very expansiv wars
-
Korean War - 320 billion $
-
Vietnam War - 686 billion $
-
Irak War
+ Afghanistan - 2,000 – 3,000 billion $ (estimated by J.Stieglitz and L.Bilmer)
Having deliberately provoked at least 2 wars by the USA, Mr. Morch, that is one reason that „many a European nations are able to invest less in its armed forces“.
It seems the US – LOTUS (Liar Of The United States) - deliberately want to provoke another expensive war.

A typical crap, concerning statistics.
-
If 83m saving accounts have been counted by WP and as Thailand has a population of only 68.6m by 2016 - including children – then there are people who have more than 1 account.
-
In the number of 83m accounts there are foreign (falang)-related accounts, of mia(s) or mia noi(s), too.
-
It's not clear if this number contains falang-accounts, including those of a Thai man or woman supported by a falang.
Result: You read a lot of numbers, but idiotic numbers without any significance.
There is no word about how many people are not at all able to save money. And there is a big percentage, easy to improve.
Let us assume that the minimum wage is payed everywhere in Thailand (in reality it isn't
). Furthermore let's assume 1 man or woman works 30 days a month, not abnormal in our area in the North, then he/she earns +9.000 within 1 month (if sick, no payment!). From this +9 thousand THB they have to pay water, electricity, rent, maybe oil or gasoline for their vehicle on their way to the workplace.
This all doesn't yet include children or family members they take care for. Even if man and wife would work that's scarcely not enough to save a few bahts.

7 hours ago, RickBradford said:Oh, the point is to suggest that a statue to Marx, whose murderous ideology led to the deaths of hundreds of millions of people, is an obscenity and an insult.
The secondary point is to marvel at the dim bulbs who call for a return to Marxism, having apparently learned nothing from the appalling carnage it produced in the 20th century.
Really? hundreds of millions?
Did you ever spend 10 seconds about the negative sides of Capitalism? I guess not.
Otherwise you would recognize that capitalism is related to more deaths than Marx's ideology ever created. Maybe. Of course, the the capitalists brush this negative side under the carpet,... na, with their almighty weapon, the money. One reason we have been flooded by positive news of capitalism in general.
-
During his lifetime Marx recognized the awful results of the extreme New Industrialization, highlighted in the abusive „Manchester Capitalism“, also known as laissez-faire-capitalism, during the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century.. Maybe you won't read/learn about the excesses. But Marx and Engels, too, had a reason to attack the new trend. To name only a few:
-
child labour, working 12-14 hours a day, famine wages and exploiting, no labour law, So many English workers emigrated to the USA during this time.
-
-
Money, a elementary part of capitalism, gives power to influence daily life, politics, parties, laws and stupid people. Best example: Trump's (minority) election by promising spending money in the right regions or reducing taxes for the riches/capitalists.
-
Doubtless, there is a progress in workers daily life. But would it be so far as today, if Marx and Engels, too, hadn't put their fingers into the wound of the capitalistic excesses?
-
In Westerns parts of the world the working „class“ has a better life than many decades before. (I did not yet read here on TV) – the Western style of capitalism is partly based on exploiting the „working“ class in the third world. That is called capitalism.
-
Could you buy a cheap shirt if not fabricated in Bangladesh?
-
Would the asparagus be so cheap, if not harvested by the Polish workers in England or Germany?
-
Wouldn't the food in the USA be more expensive, if there weren't the low payed Middle or South American workers?
-
-
Wars have been made in the hidden name of capitalism. Best example: for oil in the Iraq War, started in 2003. I remember that Germany has been asked to participate in this war. Otherwise it couldn't be part of the oil „exploiters“.
-
Colonialism also was a special form of capitalism. Exploiting other countries, people.

Lobbyists, representing money-makers scrupulously.

Again and again stupidity and prejudice prevail in most comments (until #15) when they hear or read the derivations of „communism“. For those who like to read more than the headlines, pleas look here about the life of Karl Marx →
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Marx
Marx's life is like a coin with two sides. Let me relate to the positive one. He was aware of the new industrialization with its abusive capitalistic results.
Quote...
Marx actively pressed for its (=classless communist society) implementation, arguing that the working class should carry out organised revolutionary action to topple capitalism and bring about socio-economic emancipation.
That his ideas have bee abused by many leaders (Lenin, Stalin, Mao … the list goes on) for dictatorships isn't Marx's fault. If you think yes, than you should make Jesus Christ responsible for all the incredible cruelties made in his name and his new religion re. philosophy since the year zero. It's recognized worldwide that Marx's ideas developed as a wakening call against the negative, abusive consequences of extreme capitalism/money.
You may have pro, anti or mixed feelings and ideas about Marx. You cannot deny that he gave useful ideas against the inhuman results of capitalism.
Therefore I agree with the people of Trier allowing the Chinese to donate a statue of Marx in the town of his birthplace. Many late world leaders have had an inconsistent character, but are remembered by statues. Lincoln, not a „negro“ lover, is one example out of many.

QuoteTrump has said he did not know about the payment to Stormy Daniels, who says she had a one-night stand with Trump in 2006.
Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen paid Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, the money in 2016 to keep quiet about the alleged sexual encounter before the presidential election.
In an interview on Fox News, Giuliani, a former federal prosecutor and longtime friend of Trump, said the president knew about the $130,000 payment and reimbursed Cohen.
"They funnelled it through a law firm and the president repaid it," Giuliani said.In many of my comments I gave Trump the title of LOTUS (Liar of the United States). Already during the election campaign this was obvious and clearly recognizable.
What we read here in this article confirms what has happened again and again. Only people with a limited brain and no moral refuse to recognize that the US is governed by such a vile type. It's aching too, that there is a reprobate party supporting such a moron.
You don't trust someone who lies. The same happens now to the USA. They are losing their credibility and reliability day by day. What you hear from Trump today will be invalid tomorrow.

With a little bit of (google)knowledge about the former (Eastern) communist state you would know, that the students have been handpicked for a study by some „qualifications“. Intelligence was not a priority. So Merkel's chance to get a university place was the communist youth organization.
