  1. And the costs of having China as your "Big Brother" are just beginning.
  2. She got the hospital bill and then almost died.
  3. The James Webb Space Telescope belongs to whom?
  4. He should cancel the lease. I thought all standard Thai leases had a two month warning to cancel, even if the lease was for a longer period. I know mine does, and I've been in the same house for 14 years.
  5. I'm sure Prince Andrew knows all about him.
  6. I wonder if Thai Airways sees this topic and starts to look into the critical posters on it with an eye to adding them to the lawsuit.
  7. The US and its allies are too busy trying not to notice.
  8. MFP spent all its initial time in opposition purging and "purifying" itself. Whatever momentum it had dissipated in looking for enemies among its own members.
  9. Why? Money. The Chinese delegation was seen entering the Solomons with suitcases full of money. And the president who reversed course and went with China, if I remember correctly, then disappeared with the money.
  10. No, what he put up had a distinctive shape of something I used to see regularly in German bakeries. They've probably changed the name, now, because it was a racially derogatory term. He would have been safer putting up something like Bienenstich, which is actually much, much better.
  11. This. And mustard greens. All served with Louisiana hot sauce.
  12. Come on, what do you call that thing? Tell me. I dare you.
  13. This isn't about Israel it is about Iran's ongoing sponsorship of terror since 1979 and the establishment of Houthi terrorists who are trying to overthrow the government of Yemen. Let Europe deal with it. I am far, far more concerned with Chinese expansion which is taking place right now and displacing Australian influence throughout Melanesia.
  14. The US can't be everywhere. And China + Russia are the bigger threats. China pushing into the Pacific in the Solomons and Papa New Guinea, plus the threat to Taiwan. Really, Iran and the Middle East should be European concerns. They're the ones utterly dependent on the Suez Canal. Let them defend it. Let the Euros solve the constant Arab uprisings and terrorism.
  15. She's already 34 years old. She just acts like she's 16.
  16. That's the way it is. That's the way it'll stay. Forever. MFP did not have the talent maneuver politically. They put themselves in a trap. Election Commission will follow up and ban the party and Pita.
  17. You are right. I was wrong. Interesting information. Do wish the lawyer would stop wiping his nose with his finger. Rich as he is, he can afford a handkerchief.
  18. Well, at least the Chinese don't beg for food.
  19. I often think that the US was on the wrong side of every SE Asian country it tied itself to after World War II. Without the US, Thailand would have looked like Laos does today. And after all is said and done the Thais ally with China. Keep American fighter aircraft out of Thailand. The US has been donating military arsenals to SE Asian despots since the fall of Saigon (1975), to mad mullahs in Iran since the overthrow of the Shah (1979), and to the stone age Taliban since the Central Asian collapse in Afghanistan (2021). No need to give more advanced military gear to a country that may well be shooting at the US when its sponsor invades Taiwan.
  20. Wouldn't be surprised to see Chinese troops, engineers, builders, and labor dispatched to Thailand to finish off the train job themselves.
  21. And all on 90 day visa free entries. At least they'll need a visa until Thailand is sufficiently occupied, as is the case in Laos, where Chinese just move in and set up shop with less paperwork than going from Shanghai to Wuhan.
  22. China: And here's a panda for good measure. Now hop to it! Thailand: Yezzuh, Bwana!
