The onset of increased Chinese influence over the modus operandi of the Panama canal occurred in 2017 when the Panamanian government withdrew its' diplomatic recognition of Taiwan in favour of China. If you wish to be more fully informed on the issue of the way in which the Chinese are infiltrating the running of the canal's operations I recommend you start with the CSIS article of 21 May 2021.

First visited Thailand in 1962, business and holiday visits in the 1970s, lived and worked here in the 1980s, retired here in 1993. Not leaving, ever.

Me neither.

As I said, a good effort, especially now considering your dyslexia. I too was in the oil business for most of my working life. Anyway, we should all try to remember not to get angry over things we cannot control. All the best. Bob.

Poor you.

From this I assume English is not your first language, in which case, a good effort on your part. Try to reduce your anger level, relax. and have a nice day !

Dear oh dear ! Speaking as a Brit it seems to me many of you anti- Trumpers need to lighten up a bit. The Panama canal is being gradually taken over by the Chinese which needs to be stopped, and some form of alliance/merger with Greenland makes a lot of sense in terms of US national security. The reference to Canada was light-hearted, although a couple of Canadian friends have told me they would welcome a closer relationship with America. Nothing to worry about in any of this. Your next President will take good care of you. Relax, and have a nice day !

Lighten up man. It's not that serious. Have a nice day !

At 83 years if age, and retired, I no longer have much power or influence, which is a blessing. Life is good for which I am very grateful to my lovely wife and family. Have a nice day !

Love him, or loathe him, these are smart moves designed to protect his business and the jobs of his employees.

That's odd. His friends in the trans community assure me he does...

I don't think I'll be barred. At 83 years old I'm never drunk and seldom horny.

Good point. That is what we are always being told. I'm afraid the reality is that Thailand has chosen to go for quantity rather than quality.

I assume he was given the name Keir in recognition of Labour's founding member Keir Hardie. Any comparison ends at that point. Hardie was an intelligent, tough political strategist. Starmer is feeble and two-faced, not to be trusted under any circumstances.

...and when the last man walks out, shoot him.

The ultimate cheap Charlie. Hard to figure such mean-ness

Too many rubbish foreigners about, not like the old days....

Nothing wrong with older women. Often more fun and less hassle.

Nothing new about this. Relationships throughout Asia have always been more materialistic and less emotional than in the West, thankfully.

....as is usual with Thai Examiner.

I've had dogs poisoned in the dead of night by thieves chucking poisoned meat over the garden wall. A rotten way to die. Nothing much I can say other than I fully understand your anger. Move on as best you can under sad circumstances.

Before being posted to East Asia I lived and worked, from the late 1960s to the mid 1980s, in northern Nigeria, Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. I speak Arabic, and during my time in the foregoing countries I became aware of a central theme, not openly spoken of these days, of islamic teaching, namely that the taking of an infidel's life (eg a Christian or a Jew) will be rewarded with a place in heaven. I suspect that, while you are enjoying kissing Muslim men, you have no idea of the harsh realities of Islamisation that the UK, and several other countries in western Europe, are facing today. Naivety is the word that comes to mind.

You are correct regarding major cities. Elsewhere, however, they are still treated with unforgivable cruelty.

An ill-informed response. You are clearly ignorant of what is going on in the UK. I suggest you refrain from commenting on an issue unless you know what you are talking about.

The Islamisation of Britain, and several other western European countries, is underway. I am advising younger family members to get out asap.
