So the point of the map as it stands is?

The word 'reverse' in the phrase 'reverse industrialization' is redundant. As it stands, it means the opposite of what it's trying to say.

Map of all RECORDED battles ie probably totally misleading.

Wow! There's an innovation!

Ceasefires - particularly in rugged terrain with poor demarcation of lines & troop positioning - will work only if both sides pull their forces back a bit to reduce the likelihood of 'accidents' occurring.

No doubt, but many young men - ignorant & without skills - require an element of compulsion to get them moving.

it would be more fun if the tourists could fire at each other.

Common is as common does.

12K - plus food & a roof over his head - looks like a fortune to a peasant kid with no education, no skills and no prospects. I can see 2 or 3 members of my extended family being interested ... assuming the project ever gets off the ground.

Yes, sob sob. So sad.

A global event hub ... Sounds like something you'ld find in a garage.

Less the cost of the items than the cost of the repairs?

Scumbag.

The gap between good intentions (at least as announced) and good actions never diminishes in this country.

Wow! He has the magic to lift my whole peasant family out of poverty & ignorance & illiteracy! I shall tell them to vote for him.

฿206 million converted to the 'real' currency of your choice is a trifling amount.

Oh dear, I'm going to have to stop smoothing out my wrinkles.

But compared to Trump he looks like a genius, heavy with intellectual gravity and able to swing left or right as the occasion demands. Just what you need in a serious candidate.

Drones are not just for reconaissance. As we see every day in the Ukraine War they are very effective at destroying major targets and the cost ratio of drone-to-target is something else again.

You mean the south of what is called Isaan ie NE Thailand. Historical reasons. The borders between Thais & the Khmer Empire have moved back and forth several times over the last c800 years. Wikipedia would be a good starting point for your historical studies. My FIL (3 years older than me & no formal education) speaks poor Thai, but Khmer for preference. MIL speaks better Thai but also no education. Next generation speak both northern Khmer & Isaan Thai. Children quickly losing any Khmer they learned before schooling ...

A dying problem.

One of the effects of 'never been colonized' ...

A job for the F16s. Get on with it, Fellas! My home & family farm are right in the firing lines. The latter has rockets falling all round.

You can approach this from an absolutist moral stance, or you can look at it practically in terms of social outcomes. Clearly the people of Singapore and their government adopt the latter approach. A relativistic moral stance might not be much different.

Not if they get in the way.
