  1. Hanging VP Mike Pence? US Military was "frozen" on Jan. 6 insurrection. California National Guard violated state laws by mobilizing at POTUS order. US military violated the US Constitution against freedom of speech by mobilizing at POTUS order.
  2. The beginning spoken by an Indian news person is very short with the majority of the video in better understood English.
  3. International airport Immigration could not communicate in English, the most spoken language in the world. Surprise, surprise, surprise.
  4. Getting vaccine Comirnaty JN.1 injection next week at Bumrungrad Hospital. Medically very vulnerable to blood infections and get every booster available.
  5. What nations are international allies? Trump's Liberation Day has declared war against the world.
  6. Never too soon for the Myanmar people and the region. Please continue on the path to destruction.
  7. I prefer the Omega Seamaster over the Rolex.
  8. That's NOT how bilateral negotiations work. But seems Thai government uses the 'Give and Take' negotiations: 'you give and I take.'
  9. "It lies in lower northeastern Thailand, also called Isan. Neighboring provinces are Buriram, Maha Sarakham, Roi Et, and Sisaket. To the south it borders Oddar Meancheay of Cambodia." What's the threat to Thai sovereignty? Just the drum beat to Thai nationalism?
  10. Only to undergo ICE/Immigration scrutiny at US destination? I do not believe that they will be bound by any overseas pre-flight US immigration review, especially when US based ICE/Immigration apparently must meet a high quota of entry rejections of foreigners to appease the Trump administration.
  11. My daily transaction limit on K Plus is 140,000 baht. Fund purchase and transfer to own account are not under this limit.
  12. Maybe completion someday but not ahead of schedule. "The Bangkok-Nong Khai high-speed rail project is significantly behind schedule. Construction began on the 253 km first phase between Bangkok and Nakhon Ratchasima in 2017. Construction on the first phase, from Bangkok to Nakhon Ratchasima, is 71.36% complete, but still 36.39% behind the scheduled opening in 2028. The second phase, from Nakhon Ratchasima to Nong Khai, is still in the planning stages and hasn't begun construction." (my bold) Now in 2025 the government is getting serious about completion.
  13. Cambodia should be satisfied with the status quo in which it received favorable the adjudication by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that defined the border in favor of Cambodia. It is Thailand that is claiming such status quo violates it's sovereignty.
  14. So penguins can still enter the US despite Trump's trade war with them.
  15. Legally, Immigration's legal complaint is more of a Civil complaint versus a Criminal complaint. In Thailand both can exist simultaneously. The criminal complaint could be alleged violation of the The Computer-Related Crime Act of 2017. Often invoked as an added charge in defamation cases, as many defamation charges were based on internet postings or comments. The CCA includes using computer systems to disseminate false information or engage in cyber bullying that can lead to significant harm and disruption. https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=2f7b4259-5f38-47f7-8464-d03f08227ee1 As a practical legal decision, better the accused resolve the defamation complaint to avoid pile on of criminal charges.
  16. "potential"? from "Temple of Preah Vihear (Cambodia v. Thailand)," The Court found that Thailand had indeed accepted the map (based on the work of a Mixed Delimitation Commission that showed the Temple on the Cambodian side of the boundary and concluded that the Temple was situated on Cambodian territory). It also held that Thailand was under an obligation to withdraw any military or police force stationed there and to restore to Cambodia any objects removed from the ruins since 1954. What has yet to unfold is Thailand to accept the Court ruling. There is really no purpose for Thailand to go back to ICJ, rather it seems to resort to a "you give, I take" diplomacy. Hardly respective of ASEAN membership.
  17. Why the US foreign policy should be not at an economic war with most nations in the world, especially it's allies. Instead of adding hundreds of billion dollars to national defence, a few hundred million dollars directed to international DIPLOMCY might better serve the US security. But a Golden Dome would be much more authoritarian and manly - MAGA style defense.
  18. And open the door to a outing an authoritarian regime and replaced with a democratic government?
  19. Shall we discuss the "curious error in judgement" of Trump's Department of Defense and Trump himself personally not using security-proof communications to the extent that the Five Eyes of security sharing has virtually locked the US out of its exchange of secret intelligence ? The US cannot take the high road to foreign security measures.
  20. What exactly is the consequence of a national bankruptcy? Ecuador has declared itself bankrupt 10 times, most times among sovereign nations. Brazil, Mexico, Uruguay, Chile, Costa Rica, Spain and Russia have declared bankruptcy nine times during the same period. Germany has suffered from bankruptcy 8 times, followed by the US 5 times, China and UK 4 times, and Japan twice. https://www.tbsnews.net/world/6-major-countries-went-bankrupt-recent-times-453426 Despite Turkey's lira plunging in value, high inflation, rising borrowing costs, and correspondingly rising loan defaults, it is not bankrupt. The country is not currently in a state of sovereign default where it cannot repay its debts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_economic_crisis_(2018–current) It appears that at least sovereignty continues that still empowers a nation to improve its economic credibility. Engage in foreign trade, sell national resources, attract foreign investment, etc. that constitute sovereign assets. The existence of a nation's sovereignty naturally, however, depends on its citizens, or perhaps a neighboring nation to force annexation through war.
