Thailand Eyes Banana Farming to Support Struggling Rice Farmers
johng replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yet another CIA operation production then switched to Afghanistan. -
If so he was "negotiating" with the wrong party and at the wrong moment, he was there to sign a mineral deal in payback of the billions that USA has sent to prop his country up in a proxy war that according to Lindsey Graham was the best money we have ever spent, the purpose to weaken Russia and provoke regime change with no US casualties only Ukrainian and Russian casualties. (yes quite sickening ) He should have taken the offer from Russia near the start of the conflict but instead decided to listen to Boris Johnson and Co and take on the largest country in the world !!!

Because they thought they would get "protection" from big daddy America on the cheap + it is also cheaper to share the costs over many different countries so it does make sense to join the club..until you figure in the antagonising Russia bit which I don't think they thought about at all until recently. There are probably other behind closed doors incentives like maybe intelligence sharing and pathway to EU membership trade deals etc etc

The objective is not to "save democracy" ?? seems the objective has changed, well not really because you are right the objective from the start was to mess with Russia with absolutely no care about the lost lives of Ukrainian citizens or the infrastructure and economy of Ukraine as well as trying to keep natural resources away from Russia which has failed cos they took the eastern 20% of the country. Strange how I was called a Putin apologist for stating this not very long ago.

China Declares Readiness for War Amid Escalating Tensions with the US
johng replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Ohh and the only thing the US cares about Taiwan is the chip manufacturing plants...there was even talk of bombing them if China "invades" so as not to let them fall into "ememy" hands ! Oddly enough the largest plant TSMC has recently announced a 100 billion dollar investment to build a chip plant in the US. https://pr.tsmc.com/english/news/3210 -

Ukraine’s Fate Was Sealed Long Before Aid Was Cut
johng replied to Social Media's topic in World News
No I think it is EU and to lesser degree US that have been "disarmed" by sending "all their inventory" to Ukraine ... yes yes old stock outdated models yada yada yada the point is they are out of ammo and there is no capacity at the moment to replace it and also no persons to fill the "boots on the ground" "peacekeeping force" which would not in fact be a peacekeeping force as Russia has said they won't accept that so it will be WWIII -
What excites you the most about Thailand?

Ukraine’s Fate Was Sealed Long Before Aid Was Cut
johng replied to Social Media's topic in World News
They did jointly start this particular phase of the war by provoking Russia since 2014 Maidan coup continual shelling of the eastern Russian speaking regions and talk of joining NATO and then just as an agreement was in hand in the early stages of the Russian "invasion" "Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson" and Co persuades Zelinsky to fight to the last Ukrainian...we have your back...yeah right !!!!!! Viva la peace and prosperity Just say say no to war. -
RFK Jr. Encourages Vaccination Amid Growing Texas Measles Crisis
johng replied to Social Media's topic in World News
You know a large percentage of Polio cases these days are actually from taking the live vaccine..though I think it is not used in the USA any longer.. quote below from that "trusted media source" Wikipedia The primary disadvantage of OPV derives from its inherent nature. As an attenuated but active virus, it can induce vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP) in roughly one individual per every 2.7 million doses administered.[23] The live virus can circulate in under-vaccinated populations (termed either variant poliovirus or circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus, cVDPV), and over time can revert to a neurovirulent form causing paralytic polio.[23] This genetic reversal of the pathogen to a virulent form takes a considerable time and does not affect the person who was originally vaccinated. With wild polio cases at record lows, 2017 was the first year where more cases of cVDPV were recorded than the wild poliovirus.[24] Until recent times, a trivalent OPV containing all three viral strains was used, and had nearly eradicated polio infection worldwide.[25] With the complete eradication of wild poliovirus type 2[26] this was phased out in 2016 and replaced with bivalent vaccine containing just types 1 and 3, supplemented with monovalent type 2 OPV in regions where cVDPV type 2 was known to circulate.[23] The switch to the bivalent vaccine and associated missing immunity against type 2 strains, among other factors, led to outbreaks of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (cVDPV2), which increased from two cases in 2016 to 1037 cases in 2020.[27] A novel OPV2 vaccine (nOPV2), which has been genetically modified to reduce the likelihood of disease-causing activating mutations, was granted emergency licencing in 2021, and subsequently full licensure in December 2023.[28] This has greater genetic stability than the traditional oral vaccine and is less likely to revert to a virulent form.[29][9] Genetically stabilised vaccines targeting poliovirus types 1 and 3 are in development, with the intention that these will eventually completely replace the Sabin vaccines.[30] -

I think he believes that yes, and there is strong circumstantial evidence but for now he has to try and get the studies done showing the proof and that will take time so yes again he is biding time..I hope the studies get done in a timely robust and transparent manner..certainly will be interesting to see the results. -

US Halts Military Aid to Ukraine Amid Push for Peace Talks
johng replied to Social Media's topic in World News
How would you or anyone else know what his policies are if you don't listen to his own words from his own mouth but instead learn of his policies from "anonymous sources" This is why censorship of news sources is bad you end up with what we have here just plain old one sided propaganda. -
Yes you need a medical certificate and a certificate of residence from immigration + you'll have to go there and make an appointment first, waiting times about 10 days when I went + while waiting you have to complete an online training session and bring proof of passing that on the day along with medical and residence certificate ( a copy are fine if you need car and bike licence) ...for some reason I'm blank on the form you might have to fill in but sure they will give you one if needed either when you go make the appointment or on the day. They only take cash no online payment accepted to get your shiny new licence. Have fun !!!

No not media sources, "from the horses mouth" means listen to what the person in question actually says not what media sources say they said. -

I'm sure he will read the safety studies when they are done,at the moment there are none to read and this is precisely his point ! Before recommending drugs and vaccines there should be "proper" long term safety studies publicly available and all possible side effects should be revealed to the person contemplating taking the drug/vaccine and there should be timely compensation for injuries and no immunity from prosecution for companies releasing dangerous products and a fully transparent reporting system monitoring the products which will help show up problems in the longer term. And most importantly there should be no coercion/mandates shaming to force anyone to take a product they do not want. -
Yes they do and yes I told them but it was still blocked, when I called them to unblock they said a note would be added to my account details so that it wouldn't happen again...but guess what ? happened again so it seems you have to regularly tell them that you're abroad how regularly ? don't know I don't use my UK card here now just my Thai cards but they also have problems when trying to use online ( UK US EU companies) they get denied arggg !!
