Gee, the Japanese victim group to prevent nuclear war just won the Nobel Peace Prize. Your idea of nuking Gaza was already proposed on Iz TV. Was that a joke?

What? The ICJ decided that there was a plausible case of Israel committing genocide, but the final decision will take a few years, as is usual in their proceedings.

In the Oslo Accords, the Palestininas were not really offered a sovereign state. It was irresponsible of the Norwegians not to moderate the talks to prevent the imposition of a faulty agreement on the weak party. Fortunately, under international law, despite any provisions of Oslo, all the settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem are still illegal.

Forcibly transferring children (as Putin did) need not be present to determine that genocide has happened. Your link says: "In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: 1. Killing members of the group; 2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; 3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; 4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; 5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group." The ICJ knows better than you what constitutes genocide, and have so far said that the case against Israel is plausibe.

Maybe the present Israeli government will end up undoing the work of 80 years to keep Germany on a leash of shame.

Is there any policy regarding telemedicine, i.e. a doctor advising or treating a patient in Thailand from Boston, for example?

Does she grind the corn? Is it white corn?

Nasi Jumpru has good food, but it's a bit too far to get take away for us. We have gotten khao soi gai from Khao Soi Mae Sai for years, always good. https://guide.michelin.com/th/en/chiang-mai-region/chiang-mai/restaurant/khao-soi-mae-sai

The salmon you ate doesn't come from Japan, I guess.

I am not working in Thailand. The RD instructed my accountant how to fill out the special forms which they provided. You might look at the Treaty to see how Social Security is handled. The technical explanation is an easier read.

The rule concerning remitted income (not savings) has been in effect for many years, and I have been filing for that reason.

The Thai-US tax treaty does not contain the re-sourcing provisions of US treaties with many other countries, so it is not possible to make remittances to Thailand appear as foreign income when preparing Form 1116 on the US tax return. The result is that the only option is to get a tax credit on the Thai tax return for taxes paid to the US. The result may be that tax due Thailand will be zero.

Maybe Immigration will need a bed photo to determine whether the Thai is on top, in which case no 400K will be required.

The point is that if there is a joint income, then the Thai tax dept might interpret a transfer to spouse from abroad as part of the joint income. Better to check with a tax expert.

IT means inheritance tax, I guess. It depends on which is your home country. The exemption in the US for now is $11mn (lifetime and at death). I believe that Thailand has a large exemption as well (Baht20mn per year), and the rate above that is 5%. So presumably one can wire the gift to the spouse's account in Thailand, but if only joint tax returns are permitted, wouldn't that still be a problem?

For male couples, having their own children would involve surrogacy. Isn't that prohibited here?

I seem to remember that a usufruct is more stable if the owner and the holder of the usufruct are not married.

Last year I filed US taxes in mid-February so that i could use the DTA to pay no taxes on the return I filed in Thaiiand on 31 March. Since then there has been no inquiry from the Thai RD requesting a transcript issued by the IRS (US tax department).

So in Sweden, does it matter if the couple is married? As long as the father is named on the birth certificate, that would give him all the cards, as long as the child is not kidnapped/taken to Thailand.

I agree with you up to "IMO". Since the Ukraine war, China and Russia are working together to defeat international sanctions. Their fake islands in the South China Sea are quite useful in enforcing a blockade around Taiwan. It is Taiwan that is vulnerable to a lack of food and energy imports. To sanction Chinese exports would disrupt the world economy because China has acquired near monopolies in critical resources, some basic electronics, etc.

People in the Middle East really date the decline of America's credibility to Obama's red line in Syria (2013) concerning what would happen if chemical weapons were used again. When it happened, Obama did nothing. The next year, Putin took over Crimea, etc. Obama did not much.

Traditionally, in Japan people only ate cooked salmon, since salmon can acquire parasites in Japanese rivers.

Back in 1967 they were fleeing, along with the Jordanian Army!
