    I didn't suggest that they were wholly fighting a 20th century war, but there is definitely a strong reliance on technology from that era, and on the use of domestic vehicles for their efforts in the meat grinder. 

     

    Russian Army’s Use of Donkeys in Ukraine Underscores a Staggering Equipment Shortage

    https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/03/03/russian-armys-use-of-donkeys-in-ukraine-underscores-a-staggering-equipment-shortage-a88174

    "Meanwhile, the Russian army has resorted to using civilian vehicles for attacks on Ukrainian positions, reducing combat effectiveness, increasing casualties and slowing their advance.

    ...

     

    "Pro-war blogger Kirill Fedorov claimed that the Defense Ministry had sent a donkey to his unit due to a shortage of vehicles. More evidence of Russian soldiers using donkeys, horses and even camels to transport supplies emerged soon after.

    Lieutenant General Viktor Sobolev, a member of the Russian State Duma’s Defense Committee, said the army’s use of pack animals was a “normal” practice."

    The Moscow times ., hahaha, a foreign agent.

    No more food stamps. 10 % of the USA population rely on SNAP.

     

    Mind boggling that the "Greatest" country ever, has so many people without food. And now ya'll want to take that away. Making your Government mass murderers in my opinion. Well that actually is the one thing you're good at. Killing people!

    10% of the USA... whats the percentage in your country? Ya'll?

    There is clear evidence of them using horses, domestic vehicles and antiquated equipment so they are hardly equipped like a modern army. 

     

    They are using convicts, mercenaries and press ganged unfortunates to wage their war as the casualties grow hideously by the day. 

     

    Even if this madness ended tomorrow, Russia is so surely screwed, both internally and internationally, that it will never recover in our lifetime. Nor does it deserve to. 

    Of course they are, their drones are from 1979 and hypersonic missiles come from acme 

    Clear evidence from where?

    Yep. When Trump say that's the way it's going to be, then that's the way it's going to be. Except for here, and here, and here.

     

    President Donald Trump said in an interview on Fox News that the administration is working to develop a temporary pass for immigrants who work in certain industries, which would mark the latest shift in the administration’s approach to immigration enforcement for farmworkers  https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/trump-administration-working-temporary-pass-immigrants-farm-industries-rcna215806

    Hillary Clinton said the same thing many years ago too

    I agree with above that it's not a good time for your plan.

     

    You'll be OK for the first 1-2 months but returning is a major problem now. Firstly, the Cambodian borders are closed so there's no quick, easy land border runs available.

     

    Secondly, if you fly back in you'll have a high risk of being denied entry. This is because corrupt officials at the airports benefit from a 'safe entry' scam, which costs ฿5000+, so gives them all the reasons they need to deny you entry.

     

    I spent 6 months here last year, as a tourist on VE, followed by 6 months back in the UK. Upon return, I was grilled at immigration about how long I was staying, what I was doing here (doh!) and told 'you can't keep doing this'.

     

    If you want my advice, enjoy your short stay in Thailand and never come back.  

    Thats because they want you to buy tourist visas.

    For all you numties listen to what this so called Musician said he shouted  "Aye but have you heard this one " then he shouts death death to the IDF this idiot hasn't even bothered to apologise. Arrest him and charge him for incitement. Incidentally Sidiq Kahn told us all any protesters waving a Palastine flag or any Hamas supporting insignia will be arrested.

    And what does that matter to you? How offended are you by some 20yr old hip hop member you have literrally no common ground with, you could be his grandfather.

    If he said death to trump would you have made a post about it? What about death to Putin? Death to Stamer, farrage, Greta, bill gates, George Soros, how about death to Paul gadd?, death to Joe rogan, Katy Hopkins.... no, you would be silent.

    When was I crying and whining?

    I only posted a picture publicly available on the web, and it was you who started crying and whining about it.

    I'm perfectly fine with losing any credibility with you, or any MAGA supporters, knowing very well I'm now replying to someone who doesn't have any credibility left which he can lose.

    Youve been bitching & crying on every simgle post you have made regarding Trump, who is not your president, how sad is that, cry cry, bitch & moan about someone elses president...where are you actually from, are you critical of your own leader?

    Yes I'm not an American, and there is no forum rule that says I have to be to comment on Trump.

     

    At least I'm not a Russian, which can't with certainty be said about someone who defends Putin war crimes in every post.

    No, you can comment on on what ever you want, but you lose any credibility when whining and crying like a little girl, when the orange man is not actually affecting you directly

    It's not a matter of being pro- or anti-Israel or any other country or cause.  By law, the BBC and other broadcasters are obligated to prevent certain types of content from reaching viewers/listeners.  One aspect is that hate speech, whether racist, chauvinistic, antisemitic, Islamophobic, homophobic, misogynistic or whatever,  should not be "normalized" by its inclusion in entertainment programming.  Young people and impressionable adults could believe such language is acceptable because they heard it on TV.

     

    I bolded entertainment to stress a different set of rules apply to news broadcasts.  It's acceptable for the BBC to broadcast video footage in a news program of the crowd because that's what happened. News reporting will include reactions and influential Brits have been strongly critical of Robinson-Foster's hate rap and chants.  It is not acceptable for Robinson-Foster to include hate speech and death chants in a music performance.

    Try your own words rather than AI

    If it's true Trump is trolling don't you think it is extraordinarily childish of a President to do so. I read a few days ago Trump made 60 social media posts in one day - this is the President of the USA for Christ sake!!!

    And social media has overtaken normal news ten fold, get with the program grandpa, Joe rogan gets 10x the veiwers of CNN or bbc... you are clearly behind the times, its 2025 not 1965

    @NanLaew  What do you mean by "not incited?"  Are you saying the crowd wasn't incited because they didn't actually try to kill members of the IDF?  Or do you mean chanting, "Death, death to the IDF" isn't a crime under the U.K. law against incitement to violence?

     

    It wasn't just the "Death" chants that crossed the line.  Bobby  Vylan (real name Pascal Robinson-Foster) made other potentially criminal comments to the crowd, including an antisemitic rant about a Jewish recording exec with whom Robinson-Foster once worked.  It's the totality of remarks at Glastonbury, not just the chant, that could be considered incitement.

     

    And if a chant of "Death, death to the IDF" isn't incitement to violence, what would you call it?

     

     

     

     

    The BBC could be in trouble because its producers didn't interrupt the livestream of Bob Vylan's performance when  Robinson-Foster began with his hate-rap against Israel and Jews.   The BBC and all other TV and radio broadcasters have an intentional "broadcast delay" or "deferred live" function to stop illegal or offensive content from reaching viewers/listeners.  For a broadcast from a live event like Glastonbury, the delay would be about 30 seconds.  That would give technicians time to delete the unwanted footage or audio track or to substitute it with other footage/audio.  

     

    The BBC will indeed face questions as to why it didn't mute the "Death to Israel" chants.  It's my understanding that the BBC uses a broadcast delay to mute "death" chants during football matches.  If football fans aren't allowed to call for the death of rival teams, why are Hamas fans allowed to call for the death of the IDF?

     

    Would they face such criticism or scrutiny if it were pro Israel, pro Ukraine, pro NATO, anti China, anti Putin, i very much doubt it, either everything is allowed, or nothing is allowed

    Your constant support and approval of someone who is NOT your president seems a bit to me as a bit suspicious…….🤨 

    I dont support him per se, as i am normally staunchly anti American (war, bullying etc) however i like trump & his way of thinking, i especially like the way he makes all you weak feeble mens heads explode on a daily basis, with everything he says or does, or allegedly does by the fake news media. Dont you ever feel embarrassed with your nonstop frothy posts? Guess its lucky your wives dont speak English, otherwise theyd realise what bores you all are

    It only takes 12 kg of uranium 235 enriched to 93% to make a functioning nuke. About 60 kg at 80%. Plus good engineers.

     

    Anybody who thinks Iran is short of materials and knowledge to make a nuke is kidding themselves.

    Did you just watch back to the future? Those  were martys lines word for word
