I never found it hot inside when in school in the UK nor did my UK children, also if you read the thread on that school it was a decision made after survey results by the parents own choice

“If the command of our army withdraws people from certain points of the front where the enemy has the greatest fire superiority, in particular this applies to Lysychansk, it means only one thing: We will return thanks to our tactics, thanks to the increase in the supply of modern weapons,” Zelensky said in his nightly address. “Ukraine does not give anything up.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/07/03/russia-ukraine-war-putin-news-live-updates/

Yet, the school you are referring to is in Norfolk and throughout the month of June only one day topped 30 degrees. Low twenties was the average or less. https://www.accuweather.com/en/gb/norwich/nr1-1/june-weather/329791

You missed didn't read the thread?

Plenty of sane, logical and non hysterical advice out there. Here's one, don't drive after smoking weed. Here's the reality, most people in Thailand will take no notice of that and accident rates will go up as a result

How would he know if he's not tried it before?

MARCH 11, 2022 A Closer Look at the Prose of Caitlin Johnstone Caitlin Johnstone, who publishes frequently at the Russian state media outlet RT, as well as at Medium and substack. Manipulation and obfuscation are so egregious in certain texts, that they require close reading and even annotation in order to reveal their actual meaning. Johnstone’s references is that they are often sourced directly from Russian state media. This is unsurprising, as she publishes regularly for the Russian state news site RT, at least sixteen op-eds in the last year. https://www.counterpunch.org/2022/03/11/a-closer-look-at-the-prose-of-caitlin-johnstone/

are you on the right thread pops?

Gave up on him a few posts ago, those who turn their eyes away from the atrocities going on and doing something to help are as bad as those carrying them out. He is a prime example

some more facts for you "The fact that Maite was identified mainly by her sneakers and other students by DNA tests is because of the sheer violence inflicted by the AR-15-style rifle used in the mass shooting. McConaughey said, "They needed extensive restoration due to the exceptionally large exit wounds of an AR-15 rifle. Most of the bodies so mutilated that only DNA test[s] and green Converse could identify 'em."

???? you need to re read my post

Here's some more facts for you. The requests for DNA tests in Uvalde stand as a testament to the gun’s success, but the conclusion that the weapon excelled at blowing people apart was well documented by the U.S. military itself during early field tests.

Platitude and fluff......lol I just told you. your opinion means nothing to me but I'm sure Putin would be proud of you. That along with his hunger plan for the world The end game is to stop Putin's seizure of Ukraine and other countries that are on his list, I'm not a military expert so I will leave that to those that are on how that is achieved. However I expect plenty more good will gestures coming from Putin in the future....lol

Save your pity to someone who actually cares about you opinion & twisted logic

Your claims were false, I pointed that out already, the US's contribution to military and humanitarian aid is fantastic but in terms of its GDP it is no where near the top countries supplying aid but why does that matter to you? It turns out now your not even American but stamp your feet saying the money is better spent on building the wall.............lol I find your "I don't care" attitude to the real humanitarian suffering of the people of Ukraine disturbing but at least you finished off your post making me laugh with your suggestion, lets forget about Russia and go after China instead ???? Last night a Russian state official Adalbi Shkhagoshev stated that Russia rejects the notion of a rule-based world order and has been trying "to squeeze out the democratization" Sorry its not going to happen

The few american soldiers out there don't care what you think or your attitude along with all the other international soldiers out there helping and doing so because they want to. You love the chart? Great because it completely disproves the claims you made.

So what? Is that your attitude to the war crimes going on? This is a small world and we are not propping up just Zelensky, Putin has already made it clear it does not end there with other sovereign nations in his sights. This is a fight for freedom, international law and to stop a genocide. What boys are you referring to coming home in body bags? You mean the foreign legion who volunteered to fight out in Ukraine and who are made of many nationalities? The relevant figure when comparing how much a country contributes to Ukraine is via its GDP and the US is nowhere near the top supplier. That 40 billion has also not been sent, it is part of a budget over some future months. https://www.ifw-kiel.de/topics/war-against-ukraine/ukraine-support-tracker/

You did not mention if an International school in Thailand could be an option? Good ones are expensive but if there's one nearby and budget is ok then I would go for that. The one my daughter goes to only employs UK qualified native English speaking subject teachers apart from the Thai dept for twice weekly Thai language class. Failing that then here's my experience with very good and professional home schooling provided by the international school during the covid shutdowns when she was aged 12 - 13 then. First the negatives: Lack of exercise: P.E. sports. This was a major downside for her as she is part of their Football Academy, she also plans on doing P.E. IGCSE this year and so that would be impossible with home schooling. Social Interaction: Nearly all her friends are from school, its a tight circle and without being able to see them daily it can create loneliness and feelings of isolation. If you have plans that can counter act those negative aspects then looking at the wolseyhalloxford website and the homeschooling programs they offer, I would say go for it. The fee's are affordable, its a highly recognized organization. What I found particularly good was that you can pick and chose the subjects that you want rather than do all the subjects that are required in a normal school. This allows your child to focus on the ones that will matter most for his enjoyment and higher education to Uni. So long as the core subjects of Science, Maths and English are covered then additional 3 or 4 subjects are plenty for IGCSE level and then after that only 3 needed for A level that will get entrance to any good University here or abroad. Good luck

I don't need to fire a gun when there are first hand reports and evidence of the mutilation to the bodies of the children.

Excuse me? This is what you said: "That is not true. I don't dispute the fact that you can kill people with an AR-15. You can kill people with a .22 handgun. Robert Kennedy being one of them. However this notion that the AR-15 is some sort of devastating firearm is just not true." My links disprove your assertions that its not a devastating firearm whether you like it or not.

Couldn't care less what your so called expertise in firearms, you ignored the evidence I provided and that says it all. You called me a liar and fail to acknowledge it and you fail to acknowledge what it did to the children. "blowing people apart was well documented by the U.S. military itself during early field tests."

Not seen a repeat of Hitler, my daughter learnt about his atrocities in school.

*Deleted post edited out* Now back to the real world and Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine that the US and multiple other countries are supplying aid to. As for "We need to stop giving Zelenskyy the incentive to thumb his nose at Russia even more than he already has." I say, you need to take of those blinkers and see exactly who is the aggressor here.

So what happens when they go into third grade, are they finally told the truth of what slavery actually was?

NATO goading Putin? How exactly did they do that? Putin knew only too well that when he invaded Crimea, Ukraine would never be able to join NATO. Why? Because of Article 5. NATO would not allow Ukraine joining and then being immediately sucked into a war directly with Russia. NATO has shown restraint. Putin has taken advantage of it deliberately emboldening him to carry on in 2014 and then of course his latest invasion.
