Exactly, one by one NATO countries governments are being voted out of office. Of course that is something Zelensky does not need to worry about as he cancelled elections.

Good for them. When I think of a Russian prison I think of similar conditions to the Bangkok Hilton. Funny how these people are never admitted to be spies by the American government. $100 billion a year budgeted for intelligence but nobody's a spy. If so the WSJ guy who was caught in a city where tanks are manufactured was sent on a fools errand. He was probably under surveillance 24\7.

The USA is not a real democracy. The standard on such things is the democracy index compiled by the Economist Group. They classify it as a Flawed Democracy same as Thailand. If it takes $2B donations to become president regular voters don't count for much. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist_Democracy_Index

They shouldn't he is a Trump puppet or Muppet or something or other. Didn't he just get cancelled in the UK?

I am from the Canadian prairies and lived in Jomtien Beach for a few years after I retired. Used to be a couple bars on Soi7 owned by a BC guy, Penticton and his Thai wife. Lotta guys from BC and other Canadians hung out there. Not many from Vancouver as it is very ethnic Asian now. Each for their own reasons everybody seemed to love it there. If you were looking for a quiet place there are hundreds of miles of coastline in Thailand that are sparsely populated and provide what you're looking for. Na Jomtien for example. Once the grandkids get a bit older I plan on moving back there as I really enjoyed it.

One way or the other in all regions of Thailand will have their economies benefit from this program. Of course to the cynical farang it's all a scam. Back in their home countries every advantage goes to the super rich so something like this is alien to them. Thailand needs this after nearly a decade of rule under a repressive military Junta. It has foreign currency reserves much higher than countries with larger economies like the UK. Just get on with it

Joe who?

Before you go onto those others any luck in finding those WMD in Iraq yet????

Joe Who???

So who is the old one now?

Well that was about time. A year or two ago I thought if he had any real concern for his country he would pull out by last March which was the timeline when LBJ got out of the race in 1968. Guess he was more greedy than I figured and will now always be known for having to be forced out rather than doing the right thing. Hopefully there is an open nomination contest to be determined at an open convention. Prior to the start of nomination fight in 2020 I thought Harris would be best to go against the Republicans who would later dominate Trump. The media has shredded her so we'll have to see if she can get her reputation back.

What a joke! Yanks have their noses stuck in other peoples business around the globe. Pot calls kettle black

So you really think that blacks do not apply to high paying jobs like that? Sounds like nonsense to me. You really think those short white women that were at the scene of the Trump shooting out performed in testing compared to black males with military backgrounds? If you don't think race is still a factor in that country I know a bridge in London I would like to sell you

Oh you mean the white Secret Service chick? I have watched the scene a number of times and do not see a single black Secret Service or other law enforcement personnel. What's with that???????? I know blacks make up a disproportionate number of military members from which all types of law enforcement agencies recruit from. Where did this racism come from? Trump? The Secret Service? The Biden administration? American society in general as I have yet to hear mention of this in any media. Like it's not an issue in that racist country.

Aren't there enough wars going on?

Trump based his party loyalty on where he thought he could win which was not as Republican coming out of New York. Over the years he switched back-and-forth depending which party would serve his business interests or political ambitions best.

She ought to be dismissed.

Mom Dem and Dad is a libertarian.

Just saw a report interviewing a former schoolmate of the shooter. Guy stated Crooks was relentlessly bullied every day at school. It's well documented that silver spoon fed Trump has been a enormous's bully his entire life. Seems that bullied nearly took out the bully yesterday. More irony.

A bit ironic that the rifle used was banned until 20 years ago when another Republican president opened up access to them again. It is an absolute miracle that the bullet did not take out Trump. As for the election it's a real dilemma since neither major party candidate is desirable. One a war mongering Neo-con the other a loose cannon. If I was a yank citizen I'd probably either not vote or write-in Bernie.

Turns out just another run of the mill young Yank gun nutter looking for fame. His voter registration indicates he was a Republican. Lot of foolish comments about lefties on here in need of an edit

NBC NEWS reports the gun was an AR-15. Are you watching FAUX NUTS?

Someone described the shots were from 200-300 yards. Trump was incredibly lucky. Iran is my 1st suspected culprit

So BoysTown for you then or the temples and food?

George Galloway suggested bringing back the Royal Navy from provocative offensive manoeuvres around the world to patrol the English channel during the election.
