Exactly! You may well be right to suggest that there's something wrong in the way Covid deaths are counted! ???? The number of excess deaths for the month of February (compared to February 2021) is 3967. It's 5 times higher than the official Covid deaths count (763) for February. https://ourworldindata.org/excess-mortality-covid I am not sure your statement also applies also applies to other countries, as there is usually not such a big difference between Covid deaths count and excess deaths from all causes count (at least in most developed countries).

On top of it, Thailand is a nest of Sars cov2 related coronaviruses. As well as its neighbours. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-21240-1

How can this splitting hairs' statement by Anutin be considered seriously with such a large number of unexplained excess deaths? The number of excess deaths for the month of February (compared to February 2021) is 3967. It's not the usual margin of error of 5%, 10% or even 20%! It's 5 times higher than the official Covid deaths count (763) for February! What can explain these excess deaths? https://ourworldindata.org/excess-mortality-covid

Number of raw deaths all causes now available for February. The number of excess deaths for the month of February (compared to February 2021) is 3967. It's 5 times higher than the official Covid deaths count (763) for February. It's an increase of 2275 deaths compared to the number of excess deaths in January (1692). https://ourworldindata.org/excess-mortality-covid

NATO or the EU don't "extend", It's countries which have freely decided to apply. No one has compelled them to do so! The truth is that the badly governed and autocratic Russia is not attractive to any country. They don't see any benefit in being under Russia's domination. As about Trump, he was Putin's bitch, so no wonder you prefer him to Biden!

It was not even a war crime as it was a clash between pro and anti-Maidan protesters.

This is a blatant false equivalency. The way you present it, it looks like the Ukrainian State has killed these people. This is not the case. This is the outcome of several clashes between pro-Maidan and anti-Maidan (pro-Russia), demonstrators. On that particular day, a pro-Maidan rally has been attacked by a pro-Russian mob, resulting in the killing of a few pro-Maidan protesters. This caused a reaction from pro-Maidan protesters who then attacked the pro-Russian camp. It is important to notice that the police and a large share of City officials were anti-Maidan. I'm not saying that the behaviour of pro-Maidan protesters has been stainless. Obviously, both sides were ready to fight (see quote below link). However, it is dishonest to present this event as equivalent to a State (Russia) shelling innocent people. The Ukrainian State was not involved in the killings, and those who were killed were not "innocent". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Odessa_clashes "This rally was later attacked by a pro-Russian mob of 300 from the group Odesskaya Druzhina armed with bats and firearms at Hretska Street.[39][51][62] Both sides fought running battles against each other, exchanging stones and petrol bombs, and built barricades throughout the city during the afternoon.[63] According to OHCHR both sides had various kinds of helmets, masks, shields, axes and wooden or metal sticks, and firearms.[64]"

They will have to sell their properties.... And there are no Chinese to buy them. It will be a good time to buy a condo in Jomtien! ????

A weakening of Russia is actually quite good for China, and they know it.

Thais can be told whatever one wants, the truth is that they simply don't care about this issue.

This invasion is a symptom of Russia's failure. Russia has no soft power, and rather a repelling power. On top of it, Putin failed to develop the economy of his country, despite good natural and human resources, so Russia is an economic dwarf. Putin is a fail

Interestingly enough, he talked about "hostilities" etc... but didn't mention that Russia was the culprit. Well, at least in the article.

Well, It's probably already the case.

Every month, since the beginning of the pandemic in Thailand in April 2021, the number of excess deaths compared to the previous year has been consistently around 3 TIMES higher than the official Covid deaths count. https://ourworldindata.org/excess-mortality-covid

Actually he was not replaced by a relative of hers. Thawil Pliensri was transferred and replaced as NSC chief by police general Wichean Potephosree, who was Thai Police director (he had been appointed by Abhisit and was not a fan of the Shins). This position was subsequently given to police general Damapong Priewpan, a brother of the ex-wife of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. It shows how "motivated" they were to oust her.

In Thailand, there are two types of power: the power of appointed people and the power of elected people. Both are usually corrupt. The power of appointed people has been dominant during most of Thailand's modern history, with the exception of the short episodes during which the Shins have been governing. It doesn't matter too much if crooks are elected, as long as they are able to challenge the power of the appointed crooks, as Thaksin did. On middle or long term, it still leaves a chance to see honest people elected one day, as there is a minimum of accountability and people can learn to better use their democratic power. By contrast, as recent history confirmed once more, the unaccountable appointed power never evolves into an honest power.

Did you make the tests with two different kits the same day? Omicron is usually detected only 2 or 3 days after first symptoms.

It only made things easier, but they would have ousted her in any case, for any pretext. There was no way the yellow/green network would have risked to have a succession happening under a Shin government.

I was putting hoping to make a living from Cigarette rolling by hand ????. Well the good news in that giraffe combing is not prohibited! ????

I am known for not being a Trump supporter and I agree with you that Trump, for once, was intuitively right. Well not completely as the key issue is not about each European country independently spending enough, It's about how these military expenses could be coordinated in order to efficiently complement each other.

I was just being nasty! ????

Sorry, #$%^& autocorrect. That's GDP.

Exactly. Russia has absolutely no soft power. Putin is a fail. Even Ukraine, despite its cultural and historical proximity, doesn't want to be associated with Russia. As he also failed to develop his country, Russia has not much economic power to exert (unlike China) Needing to exert military power is a proof of failure

And I guess that in order to get a new Thailand lass for day 1 only, you need to provide a day 1 certificate from the hotel! ????

The numbers are so unreliable that it doesn't really matter....
