Even if it is legal in both the departure and arrival countries, I don't think you want to put cannabis in a suitcase during international travel. I don't know about the legalities, it just seems like it could go wrong.

You neglected to add "IMHO". Your post is all unsubstantiated opinion, and ridiculously biased opinion at that. I suspect you are one of the many people who can't distinguish between factual news and the nonsense put out by pundits, propagandists and trolls.

"The world is a much safer place with him as President." Ignorance is bliss, isn't it? Trump has destroyed America's reputation as a trustworthy ally. Countries that had previously assumed they did not need their own nuclear arsenal because they were protected by America's deterrent umbrella are now covertly working to develop their own weapons. They won't intentionally go public with this until they have acquired enough weapons and delivery systems to have a credible deterrence, but it is happening. Within a decade the single digit number of nuclear armed states will be in double digits, and will continue to increase until misjudgment, miscommunication, technical error or some other issue results in their use. Our technology dependent economy and society will collapse after just a few above ground nuclear blasts. Do a search on the 1962 Starfish Prime nuclear test and it's effects on the electrical systems in Hawaii hundreds of miles away. Modern technology is orders of magnitudes more vulnerable than the comparatively rugged technology of the early 1960's. Without our modern technology, the world economy and society will collapse. I am old enough to (probably) die of natural causes before this happens. My apologies to the young. I tried to warn others, but nuclear war is a topic most people deal with through ignorance and denial. Regarding the topic: Sure, why not? I have my doubts as to Thailand's actual need for modern fighter jets, but the military must be kept happy, and maybe Gripens will keep it happy for a while.

"In a significant policy shift, Thailand is set to relax its stringent alcohol laws, aiming to empower small- and medium-sized brewers and stimulate economic activity. The new regulations, effective from 13th May, simplify the licensing process for alcohol production and sales, providing microbrewers and craft beer producers with greater commercial opportunities. " Excellent. There are many young people in Thailand who appreciate good beer, and some that know how to brew it. I look forward to a much better Thai beer selection than the stuff currently available.

I don't know where you get your news, but I'm pretty sure the vilified MSM has shown, with significant evidence, that Russia has not been following the "rules of war" claim. Regarding "There was a limit to how many lives could be lost in the Donbass to nazi shelling.", please do provide credible sources.

I'm dealing with a recent tornado issue in my neighborhood in the US. Thank god for those immigrants! I was amazed at how fast they were in removing trees from the tops of houses, blocking driveways and side-streets, and other essential places. Large tree removal in urban areas is difficult and potentially dangerous. Yes, they were paid (very well I hope) but they were very good in quickly and safely removing large trees and debris from places where people were trying to salvage their homes and get on with life. I don't know if any or all of them were illegal and I don't care. This neighborhood, where my very elderly Mom also lives, would be in chaos without the work they'd done.

I assume by "he" you mean Putin.

You believe that a country with many competing news sources, both foreign and domestic, has more propaganda that countries where the government controls the "news". Explain how that works.

California is a dictatorship? I'm pretty sure they have elections. And get this, the losers in these elections respect the outcomes and the choices of the voters. Weird, isn't it?

No moderation unless someone complains? Let's see if that's true. A review from Trustpilot: "Thaiger, in many cases, simply opines and pastes articles, as it gleams them from the world presses without sighting sources; plagiarism at its finest." https://www.trustpilot.com/review/thethaiger.com

If they dropped their weapons and fled, they have some claim to being refugees. However if they kept their weapons and retreated across the border then they are using, or attempting to use, Thailand as a base for continuing their ugly war. There's a big difference.

What has BRICS accomplished? To my knowledge BRICS has been less influential than ASEAN.

Why? Isn't that the most logical explanation? Especially when you consider Trump's 3+ hours of watching his supporters rampage through the Capitol while ignoring all requests to do something. Only when it was clear that the rioters would not succeed in seizing the Capitol and preventing the election certification did he gently request the "patriots" go home, while repeating the stolen election lie. If you want to believe in a deep state conspiracy behind events on that day, Trump's deep state seeking to overturn the election results is the conspiracy most consistent with the evidence.

Are you suggesting the deep state under Trump was attempting to disrupt the proceedings to certify the election results so Trump could remain President? I don't think so, but it is certainly a more credible conspiracy theory than most.
