You are kidding. Here's a couple of regularly update maps. Deepstatemap and Suriyakmaps latest. https://deepstatemap.live/en#7/48.4802044/36.6613770 https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1V8NzjQkzMOhpuLhkktbiKgodOQ27X6IV&ll=49.872928489795804%2C37.70398701452603&z=13 ]

Pretty much the case I reckon. As for Kirsk, as it is the Russians have regained a fair bit of what Ukraine initially took and the troops there may be in danger of being cut off. The Kirsk move was a strategic mistake. The highly trained troops sent in there along with the weaponry was and is needed on the Eastern front which continues to creep westward.

I'm not being a Russian shill. Anyone who can see what's happening is called "a Russian shill". Well you need to look at a bit of reality. Ukraine will run out of soldiers before the Russian economy collapses. How you can possibly think Russia will run out of soldiers first is an outstanding piece of denying reality. Problem with Ukraine is the stop the conscrition age at 25 or 26 can't remember which. Russia is paying people to join and paying big money. Russian conscripts are well trained, Ukrainian conscripts aren't. As for running out of equipment that too is well off the mark. Russia is employing FAB bombs with great success and has a huge stockpile of soviet era bombs that can easily and cheaply be converted. Artillery shells hundreds of thousands. Cheap drones and now optic cable drones. My guess is you haven't looked at one single war map so you have no idea how much territory is being lost. I suggest you do so you can get an appreciation of what's happening on the Eastern front of Ukraine. Zelenskyy most definitely does not have the upper hand in any negotiations. As it stands Russia is in a position of dominance both on the field of war and at any negotiation table. Like it or not this is the current situation.

You are joking aren't you? I hope so. Putin is well and truly in the position of strength. Russia is winning this protracted war of attrition. Ukrainian ground is captured daily as the Russian forces push west. What makes you think it's Zelenskyy that has the upper hand in any negotiation. If you think Ukraine is winning you really need to question where you're getting your information from.

Good to see big Pharma once again well represented by our resident Big Pharma, Anthony Fauci, MSN fanboy. I'd expect nothing less. Let's hope Trump and hopefully RFK Jnr. start tearing this narrative apart and start soon. Interestingly the CIA has now confirmed with other agencies the most likely cause of the origin being the Wuhan Lab. What was once completely denounced by our resident Big Pharma, CDC and MSM narrative ideologue as conspiracy theory and also censored on this forum would appear to be no longer a conspiracy theory.

Parts of Ukraine are already gone. Ukraine cannot win the war. Ukraine is losing the war. So maybe not a good thing but if the end result is a ceasefire and an eventual end to the war it has to be better than the current situation. As for Gaza being given to Israel this is unfounded speculation.

Sadly it seems that your comprehension skills are lacking. Let me explain. The post I responded to said " Nothing Trump does or says he'll do is a "good thing." As such Trump saying he will bring an end to the Ukraine war is a bad thing. Why would bringing this war to and end be a bad thing. Do you think the continuation of this protracted war of attrition is a good thing and saying he will stop it is a bad thing? Saying you will do something is of course in the future tense so there is no possible way I have inferred the war has finished which would be in the past tense.

Here is the post I responded to. Too bad you failed to notice this before posting your attempt at sarcasm.

You're ignorance is outstanding. The entire idea about smoking rooms and smoking areas is specifically so "folks who don't wish to breathe in other people's foul, disgusting, cancerous smoke???" aren't exposed to the 2nd hand smoke. Get a grip.

Ending the war in Ukraine is a bad thing then.

"A couple of hours". A well thought through comment. Ever been in transit waiting for your next flight after just getting off an let's say 8 hr. flight with 3 maybe 5, 7, 12 hrs. to wait for the next one? Every had a flight delayed? "A couple of hours". Genius comment.

You obviously did not see my earlier post where I said Changi has 18 smoking areas.

And there you have it in point 3. The "syndrome that cannot be named". Stop illegals flooding across the border. despicable. Deport illegal immigrants some of whom have committed serious crimes. Despicable. Search and find massive waste of tax payers dollars. Despicable. Get men out of women's sports. Despicable. Get hostages held by Hamas released. despicable. More than likely bring an end to the war in Ukraine. Despicable. As I say a clear case of the "syndrome that cannot be named". The list of good things that Trump is doing which in your mind is despicable will continue to grow.

This is true unless it isn't i.e. there are no smoking areas past customs. Pretty much what this thread's about. All airports in Australia you cannot smoke. Swampy (although someone posted they found one) and Don Mueang there's no smoking areas past customs.

Problem is after you go through customs or in transit.

We are talking about airports in Thailand aren't we?. Get through immigration and there are thousands of places you can go for smoke?

Try vaping. Did it for me. I know vaping still isn't good but it's a damn side better than cigarettes. I'm around 9 mnths without a cig. Fancy one every now and again and I'm guessing I always will.

Farang????????? Asians are way bigger smokers.

AKA smokers. @BangkokReady beat me to it. As for global trends, Changi airport, one of if not the best airport in the world has enclosed airconditioned smoking rooms and designated outside smoking areas. Indeed there are 18 places you can go and have a smoke.

Correct. It's an opening shot but unfortunately those with the "syndrome that cannot be named" have no idea about Trump's negotiation modus operandi. Only thought in the radical liberal left's head is TRUMP BAD.

A comment truly worthy of the intellect displayed by the liberal left on this forum. Keep up the good work.

I think it's just another piece of Trump being Trump. I remember the flood of negative comments when Trump talked about taking over the Panama Canal due to Chinese interference and low and behold the Panamanian President announces that Panama is going to pull out the Belt and Road Initiative. It is also worth noting that Trump has not committed to US boots on the ground in Gaza and that this is not a permanent relocation. Let's face it if October 7 did not happen there would be no need for the demolition site of Gaza needing to be rebuilt. Also keep in mind that the devastation of Gaza is due to Hamas using the people of Gaza as human shields and that the billions of foreign funding was used by Hamas, a terrorist organization, to build an extensive tunnel system purely for the reason of raising jihad and not used to develop Gaza for the benefit of the Palestinians. This proposition by Trump is about rebuilding Gaza with the assistance of neighbouring Middle East countries NOT making Gaza a US territory.

I think you'll find neither Canada nor Mexico are super powers either. What's your point? Trump is getting his way and your just butt hurt about it.

Sadly logic doesn't apply to those who are afflicted with the "syndrome that cannot be named". There are some in this world that will argue black is white and white is black and believe they are right. They'll say this also isn't a win for Trump. Colombia yields on US deportation flights to avert trade war A looming trade war between the US and Colombia appears to have been averted after the Colombian government agreed to allow US military flights carrying deported migrants to land in the Andean country. The spat erupted on Sunday when President Gustavo Petro barred two military planes carrying Colombians deported from the US from landing. The Trump administration responded by threatening to slap punitive tariffs on Colombian exports to the US. President Petro at first said Colombia would retaliate by imposing tariffs on US goods, but the White House later announced that Colombia had agreed to accept migrants - including those arriving on US military aircraft - "without limitation or delay". https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20p36e62gyo

Fools and their money. Flagship phones aren't flagship phones for long but some people just need the new one for some reason. Show off would be high on the list I reckon.
