Of course, why would he give permission for an illegal occupation?

I did read the links and gave a summary rather than re visit so that the poster could then do what he should have done and actually visit them. I did not say they were on the opposite side of the road I said the wrong side. As for the tinted windows, ask the police that's what they said. The weed and gun are nothing to do with why the car was pulled over.

Zelensky offered to not join NATO in return for a peace deal with Putin. The offer was ignored.

The yahoo article saus the source is Politico. There is a link to full story on it.

International Schools, certainly the one my daughter goes to and others that she is associated with due to inter co-operational sporting activities treat the Russian students as they do any Thai students and have recruited additional Russian Language Coordinators and teachers. Although as with most Int Schools they restrict intake to what is available at the correct term times. However there has been a large increase at my daughters school.

Source: Lawyer invited to testify before Trump grand jury A lawyer who previously advised Michael Cohen, the key government witness in the hush money payment investigation into Donald Trump, has been invited to appear Monday before a Manhattan grand jury that is considering potential charges against the former president, according to a person familiar with the matter. Robert Costello had advised Cohen before the two had a falling out, and is prepared to offer testimony to the grand jury attacking the credibility of Cohen’s statements, according to the person, who insisted on anonymity to discuss secret legal proceedings. Costello had contacted a lawyer for Trump saying that he had information that contradicted Cohen’s current statements and that could be exculpatory for Trump, the person said. https://apnews.com/article/trump-cohen-hush-money-grand-jury-daniels-5eaeae46af595ba012272cc10085ee8f

Ok even better. Shame the police won't release the footage to confirm that.

You should read the links provided, the hair follicle test was a week later, the police refused to give the camera footage of the stop and the reason they claim is because of black tinted windows and being on the wrong side of the road.

No more international Conferences for Putin then, unless they happen to be in another non ICC ratified country. China, Iraq, Israel, Libya, Qatar, Yemen. I doubt if he'll be going to the US.

You are aware that Russia is the world’s second-largest arms exporter right?

"Judge people on character and actions, not by the color of their skin." The exact sentiments of the black mother whose 5 children have been taken away from her including a 2 month old breast feeding. “Give them their children back. It’s borderline discrimination, because if this was any other family, as their attorney said, we don’t even think this would be the outcome,” she said.

Noted you seem to find this so amusing, the illegal abduction of children and subsequent arrest warrants. Your opinion means not a lot on this. Former international court chief 'confident' Putin will stand trial A former president of the International Criminal Court said he is confident Vladimir Putin will be brought to trial.

Pity its not being carried on Fox news so you could have got all the facts eh: Tennessee Democrats demand release of children removed from Black family after traffic stop The THP, meanwhile, rejected a public records request for body and dash cam footage of the traffic stop https://tennesseelookout.com/2023/03/16/tennessee-democratic-caucus-demands-release-of-5-children-removed-from-black-family-after-traffic-stop/

For once I hope he's right!!

Well it appears he didn't move forward with a case last year................... On February 23, 2022, Carey R. Dunne and Mark F. Pomerantz, the lead prosecutors in the New York County District Attorney's investigation into Donald Trump and his businesses, resigned abruptly after Bragg "indicated to them that he had doubts about moving forward with a case against Mr. Trump".[15] In his letter of resignation, Pomerantz wrote that the "team that has been investigating Mr. Trump harbors no doubt about whether he committed crimes,[16] including falsifying business records, and that it was “a grave failure of justice”[16] not to pursue criminal charges https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvin_Bragg It appears his bias that you are insinuating is non existent.

Its not from western news, read the source links, its from Russian media

Russia ramps up mobilization According to a March 14 report by the Russian service of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, that cites several regional media outlets, Russia's Defense Ministry will start a new recruitment campaign on April 1, aiming to contract 400,000 soldiers. The ministry has sent orders with recruitment quotas to Russia's regions, RFE/RL reported. Residents of Russia's Voronezh Oblast started to receive summonses to military enlistment offices as it was in September last year following the so-called “partial” mobilization announced by Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, the publication says. https://news.yahoo.com/ukraine-war-latest-russia-ramps-221144758.html

Making what up exactly? When they return home? Did I claim they are running from already signed up mobilization orders?

Can't speak for Pattaya but I can for Phuket. While I agree there has, for many years been a Russian community living here, since the war broke out and certainly within the last few months there's been an explosion of both Russian tourists and long term stayers. Many with young families, International schools are brimming with Russian students. Just a few hundred meters away from me a large villa has, in the last few weeks been converted into a kindergarden for Russian children, no website, no facebook page, just an instagram page. Its already got at least 30 kids enrolled. For those with kids visa's are easy, the students get an ed visa and the parents get a guardianship visa. Good for many years as long as the kids stay enrolled. Those without kids, well the normal ed visa's, elite visa, multiple entry etc. Most I've met are well off enough and aside from buying real estate here they are also then sub letting to other Russians.

Who would have thought just over a year ago it would lead to this. President of the worlds largest country having an arrest warrant issued for unlawful deportation of children from Ukraine to Russia. A symbolic but important gesture and a prayer that those kids will be re united with their families where possible.

Personally I'm happy with that.

Russia loses up to 1,500 troops every day fighting in Bakhmut, NATO assesses “Russia is sustaining 1,200, 1,300, even 1,500 casualties a day in its current offensive, mostly in Bakhmut,” the source said. “Killed to wounded ratio is one to three.” The official added that Ukraine suffers "an order of magnitude less" losses in battles where "several thousand" shells are spent by both sides every day. He added that it’s not yet clear how long the battle for Bakhmut could continue. https://news.yahoo.com/russia-loses-1-500-troops-202700037.html

Or looking for a fast track visa to China as plan B.....lol

Another 13 from Slovakia heading Ukraine's way: Slovakia’s government on Friday approved a plan to give Ukraine its fleet of 13 Soviet-era MiG-29 fighter jets, becoming the second NATO member country to heed the Ukrainian government’s pleas for warplanes to help defend against Russia’s invasion. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-mig-slovakia-jets-4d72dfd433950a23bea7655870ce0e24
