This will be noted and celebrated by the UN Human Rights Commission that it made the right decision to re-admit Thailand. Thailand's citizen grant process will then be "cast in iron" and any attempt for reversal will dishonor Thailand's standing in UNHRC.

Really don't see that Cuba as a small communist economy that seems more in need of investment support than what it can sustain. But like Thailand, intangible tourism has been its way to higher GDP than found in most Latin American countries. Open relations with a liberal democratic American government could further its tourism from Latinos in the US.

"Respected" as to its danger to Americans, not in honor. US Treasury’s designation of the entire Russian mafia network as a “Transnational Criminal Organization” is the first measure that treats them as a single group. That triggers RICO criminal prosecution. As a TCO Washington seems to be confirming that the threat posed by the fabled “Russian mafia” from the former Soviet republics is a more organized one than previously supposed.

Better to give to average/disadvantaged Americans than to egomaniac Billionaires, ie., POTUS Trump tax cuts for "my rich friends." As Trump has said, give me a billion dollars and I'll rewrite and eliminate and economic policy a billionaire desires. Best buddies Musk and Bezos.

So long as Russia engages in war for GDP and not normal international trade, BRIC will be crippled. Russia's central bank has hiked the key interest rate by 200 basis points to a record-high 21% in a bid to fight inflation, fuelled by military spending. Russian government spending on the military strains the economy’s capacity to produce goods and services - and drives up workers’ wages. Not to mention available workforce in all industries is being stripped for the war and paying absurd mercenary payments to any citizen regardless of incompetence skills (thieves, murders, insane, medically challenged) weakens Russia's industrial complex. India, China need to persuade Putin to stop wars. But Putin has declared nothing stands in the way of a soviet empire.

Not surprisingly. Claimant should have filed theft with police, presenting his evidence for a investigation. His actions seem suspicious.

I have always suspected the Swiss Man presence in Thailand as sinister, running what I would call a faux elephant sanctuary. Filled by supposed leased elephants "pigging" back on a real independent legitimate sanctuary of the same address. To what end? Does he get the status of an NGO that shields him from immigration and Thai corporate laws? That might shield any wealth or funneling riches from government corruption oversight, ie., bribes. If he were brought to trial a subpoena and deposition might reveal more about his wealth than he'd care to show, ie., at any cost?

Yes, Thailand living in the past glories of government by the military/elitists was so productive, ie., as a third world country. But Thai People really deserve a wealthier and freer future of a developed nation.

I favor the Senate vote.

Reminds me of an old American soap episodes of "As The World Turns" and "Peyton Place."

A former mercenary trying to stay in Thailand selling ammo that a mercenary might have access. What' the question? Thailand is awashed with illegal firearms and munitions, I'd say especially with its many retired (convicted?) Thai Military and police for which there seems little accountability of their pre-post possession and access to weapons. Consider also the general Thai experience with a decades insurgency running in the South, current civil war in Mynamar and Thailand's propensity for military coups.

As a side note, Trump buys his USA bibles from China at $3 each, sells in the US at $60.

Incorrect. Allows funding the American economy that results in massive national economic stimulus opportunities, virtual full employment low inflation, etc. As the US economy is the largest and one of wealthiest in the world, China and other foreign investors in the US share in its burgeoning wealth. BRIC doesn't like such dollarization success but more than willing to share in economic growth.

CitiBank left Bangkok years ago for better hi-value customers in Signapore. But UOB filled the void for abandoned CitiBank account holders.

Wonder why Mary Trump isn't invited to a Trump event? Eminently qualified psychologist who is professionally certified to comment on Trump's mental decline.

Most airline apps provide in addition to ticket, the seat & row information. How does facial recognition further flight boarding?

Will Trump promise to protect Muslims from White Nationalists without resorting to internment of Muslims?

You can Google all of online. Sad you haen"t the curiosity to fact check and research. Such is the Iife of a MAGA cultist

Most stories start with "Once upon a time." This "rumor" has no excitement, but okay as a starting point for an innocuous cartoon comedy Simpsons or South Park.

Do humans have a high IQ? Obviously not consistent among the 7 billion people.

Especially in a desert peninsula where you can easily see to the horizon, surrounded by three bodys of waters and having on of the highest mountain in the region, Mt. Sinia. That 40 year trek should have been done in a year.

The only thing going nuclear is RFK Jr.'s political future. His political worth can be measured in Trump crypto.

Government efforts to support longer term system sustainability is overlooking the persistent and unaddressed low birth rate. Solutions are open but will involve what something Thais are not acceptable. Converting migrants into permanent Thai residents.

The engine Chinese will install is not found anywhere else in the Chinese Navy. Wonder why?

Shell should be counter suing Russia for more than €1 billion in damages in response to Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. No invasion, Shell continues normal business.
