It doesnt matter who is ruling, one part will always be the dog and sacrificed, and thats what you do not understand. It the palestines was given the rights, the jews had been in the same position as them. All parts is willing to do war crimes for their own interests. There is no saints in this game

Russia is our neighbor, we sharing coastline, mutual interest in our economic zones, and to be on the other side of the world, you are mildly said quotr ignorant when it comes to Russias affairs outside their borders, but surprisingly more educated on USA, who is our allie, and keeps our common interests in check for now. We will see when your favorite president takes the seat how this will continue. https://www.thebarentsobserver.com/security/russian-inner-bastion-exercise-overlaps-into-norwegian-economic-zone/163096

Not forgotten, both parts have a long history of violent revenge, and two evil doesnt make one right? Or? If you look at in a bigger picture and pure strategic, Israel acting as Gods Fist in an chaotic part of the world, doing the west an favor as long as it holds their borders. An empire needs bullies to do the dirty work, like Saddam Hussain once was, sponsored and acted on the empires wish, until he understood he was backstabbed. All very simplified of course, but there is big lines where sacrifices has to be done on both sides.

For safety, new quality rubber is always best. 5 years is maximum I would use my tires in Thailand no matter treads left.

You are right, Russia takes what they want, China also, so expect Taiwan and most of China sea to fall in hands of China, and there is no Consequenses for neighboring countries at all. Life goes on as it have done. And we can continue, because there is many border conflicts around the world that never have been selved, also in Thailand. Cambodia want land back along Mekong, and also south east islands and sea. Not to forget the insurgents south at the Malaysian border

Im not a Russian zealot

I hope not

Thailand without rice, is like America without beef, and Norway without farmed salomon Thais eat rice for 3 meals a day

Im afraid Ukraine is doomed to lose this war, as I claimed from the very beginning. I hope Im wrong, but so far, all my predictions have become true. We just have to wait and see if Ukraine give up Crimea and a few of the provinces annected to end the war. As long Zelensky and Putin rules, there will be no peace.

If no rules or management to handle such issues, your best option is to move. Simple as that. If there where rules, you could try to talk to your neighbor, but then, well, it comes down to pure human factors and your neighbour think it is vice to quit smoking at his balcony or not.

The helmets for motorbikes bought at Honda, have been used, as well the T-shirts. Same goes for servicing our car and given t-shirts. The gifts given with the phones, a few speakers, have been used and given away to nephews and niece. A bottle opener with magnet have been handy from one of the motorbike accessorie stores, as well the bottle condoms. Got quite a few tools from the construction shop and had been used alot, incuding a fan as well

Trust science? The Effects of Exposure to Low Frequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Treatment of Migraine Headache: A Cohort Study Findings have indicated that increased usage of mobile phones may be concomitant with higher rate of headache attacks due to the low radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF). The aim of this study was to determine the effects of low RF-EMF on the treatment outcome in migraine patients. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5279981/ More Electrohypersensitivity (EHS) is believed to be triggered by electronic devices but has no scientific proof. Symptoms may happen due to other disorders or beliefs about electromagnetic fields. Treatment may include therapy, environmental changes, or treating underlying conditions. In a 2018 study, people with self-diagnosed EHS were exposed to EMFs from mobile and radio systems, as well as sham (fake) signals. The participants reported more symptoms when they thought each station was on — which suggests they were unable to tell when they were exposed to EMFs. https://www.healthline.com/health/allergic-to-electricity#what-the-science-says

Marriage is not a good solution for everyone, just tired of hearing the generalized opinion from those who made mistakes, and can not be in healthy relationships, dragging everyone down in the mud, comparing their experiences to their own. Just respect people have different experience. Is that to much asking for? A marriage is a understood partnership, supposed to be contributing for both in a positive way. Give and take

I truly hope they pay you for the time and contribution to this forum. I think I speak for everyone, when saying your contributions is highly valuable and appreciated.

Positive experiences and being able to continue cultivating positive experiences are the most important for continue feeling home in Thailand. A solid income or pension can contribute to the very same feeling of being home and also respected.

Just nother excuse for being socially impaired

Would be one of the movies I watched several times since the 80'ies, and it grows on me everytime, becsuse of general knownledge about psychology religion, politics, human social behavior and not to forget history then and now. The most important movie ever I would say, and the funniest.

And Im a woman

I hold my breath and can wait, and in meantime I keep the door open

The longer I stay, the more I find myself far outside being able to connect with other expats here. Very few I can relate to in the terms making friends and invite over for a dinner, or even stay over for a weekend. There is many reasons, but mostly because of different political views, lifestyle or general interests. Other expats is best socialized with at restaurants for sharing a few hours catching up or motorcycle trips, where we hang out for a few days riding most of the day, and sharing a few beers and thats it. The truth is, the older I get, the more bored of other people I get! I just cant understand how I would survive here 30 more years, without having something sensible to do, and we do have a farm, but there is a limit how much I want to invest here, both time and money. Close by me, Im the youngest, and there is one serious conspiracy activist, two drunks who both of them think they will die within a year and still going after 4 years since I met them, one adhd farmer, who continously invest more and more, but never being able to make any money, 4 who came and left. The last one continously talking about muslims and emigrants in Europe and we have very little in common. Also a matter of who my wife enjoy socialize with also, where the wifes have very different background as well.

I agree about the satisfaction on being two, but If I was single again, I would just relocate, heal up, and start all over again. Cant see myself dining alone, and just being me and myself everywhere I go even I could pay for campany for an evening, heading for a movie, dinner, or just a bottle of wine. When we go out in BKK I often see men sit alone, eat and drink, and it doesnt seems tempting.

Black matter makes up 85% of the universe, 85% we do not know the orign of, People still believe the earth is flat, or there is one god who control everything, thats the problem, people makes up their minds, without knowing
